Ora Adele Hanson, daughter of Emil and Ella (Romo) Hanson was born June 3, 1915 in Gilford, Montana. She grew up in Artichoke Township, where she was baptized in 1931 and received her schooling. On March 16, 1938, she was united in marriage to Gilbert Brustuen at Ora's parents home in Artichoke Township. Following their marriage, they continued farming in Artichoke Township for five years. At that time, they moved to the Clinton area, where they farmed for nearly 20 years. They then moved to the Ortonville area, where they continued farming for another five years, before moving to Morris in 1969. In 1994, they moved to Hancock. Gilbert died on December 14, 1998. Ora continued to live in Hancock until 2005, when she moved to Monticello to live with her daughter Lori. In 2011, she moved to Bethesda Heritage Center in Willmar, Minnesota to live close to Kathy, where she continued to live until the time of her death.
Ora was a member of Federated Church in Morris. She enjoyed cooking, baking, quilting, crocheting, gardening and canning. Her greatest love was babysitting her grandchildren.
