Mrs. Botterud was born on April 9, 1916, in Forsyth, Mont., the daughter of Frank J. and Oona Fay (Gasaway) Trunk. Her family moved to Missoula, where she attended the Sacred Heart Academy, and then to Bozeman, where she graduated from Gallatin County High School. She attended Montana State College for a year be- fore going to Columbus Nursing School in Great Falls, Mont. She then joined Consolidated Freight, working in Miles City, Bozeman, Glendive and Livingston. In Livingston, she met Keith Bot- terud. The couple married on St. Patrick’s Day in 1942 in Washington, D.C., at the time of Mr. Botterud’s en- listment into the U.S. Navy, and lived there for many years while he finished his education at the Georgetown Uni- versity School of Foreign Service and joined the Department of State. Following World War II, Mrs. Bot- terud accompanied her husband and their new baby, Karen, to his posting in Holland for two years. They returned to Virginia for several years and were then sent to Norway for four years, where their second daughter, Anne, was born. With the State Department, they also lived in Honduras for two years, spent four years in Iran and four years in Pakistan before returning to Washington, D.C. In 1972, the couple retired to Montana, settling in Boze- man. Mrs. Botterud lived an adventurous life as a diplomat’s wife. Family mem- bers recall that she always felt her most productive years were spent in Iran, where she rubbed elbows with some of the wealthiest and the poorest people in the world. Her greatest satisfaction, she always said, came from working in the health care clinics that served the poverty-stricken in Iran. In Bozeman, Mrs. Botterud was very active in Resurrection Parish, as well as several book clubs and bridge clubs. She also enjoyed traveling to the West Coast for salmon fishing. Alice Botterud was preceded in death by her husband Keith, her brother Frank J. Trunk Jr., and younger sister Betty Ann Todd. Survivors in- clude her two daughters, Karen Bot- terud of Chicago, Ill., and Anne Botterud of Denver, Colo.; a step- daughter, Diane Lovett of Cottonwood, Ariz.; a sister, Margaret Waltari of Mis- soula, Mont.; and several nieces and nephews.
