Ellen G. Poier, age 75, passed away on Wednesday, January 14, 2009 at the Immanuel Lutheran Home in Kalispell, Montana. She was born on January 24, 1933 in Somers, Montana the daughter of Forrest and Gertrude (Jacobson) Rognlie.
She grew up in Somers, attended grade school there, and graduated from Flathead High School in 1951. On September 6, 1952 Ellen married the love of her life Stan Poier in Kalispell, Montana; and moved to Kalispell to start her family. Ellen was very active in Bethlehem Lutheran Church activities and Women’s groups. She was also active in blood drives, Literacy Volunteers, and loved to compete in the fair’s activities.
Ellen loved donating her time by working with the school lunch programs and cooking for the Immanuel Lutheran Home. She loved to spend her free time with her husband Stan at their cabin at Ashley Lake. She also loved being creative and making crafts and flower displays.
A few of Ellen’s favorite words were, “I don’t know what the future holds, but I know who holds the future” She didn’t know what was coming next, but she had faith in who was guiding her and therefore loved life to the fullest. She was a very loving wife, mother, grandmother and was willing to do anything for a friend. She will be surely missed by all who came to know and love her.
Ellen was preceded in death by her son Stanton Poier, her parents, Forrest and Gertrude Rognlie; her sister Inez McGovern
She is survived by her husband of 56 years Stan Poier, and sons, Howard and Don Poier and wife Deb all of Kalispell, MT; and two grandchildren Casey Poier and Samantha Poier and a brother Paul Rognlie and wife Lemoyne of Boise, ID and many nieces and nephews.
