Glenna Mae Lundberg Cederberg, born January 22, 1935 in Hogeland, MT to Melvin Lundberg and Mabel Peterson Lundberg, passed away November 4th, 2025 at the age of 90.
Glenna grew up in the family home across the street from the Turner school, one of the first homes in Turner with indoor plumbing. She worked at various jobs in Turner while growing up, including helping her Mom run the post office and working in the local hotel and café'.
Glenna graduated from Turner High School in 1953 along with her high school sweetheart Brice (Swede) Cederberg and four other class members. She was a cheerleader and involved in a number of clubs while in High School. She was the last surviving member of the Turner Class of 1953.
Glenna and Swede were married in August of '53 and moved to Havre. The first of four children, Dan was born in Oct. of '53, followed by Bryan in June of '56, Brice in Dec. of '61, and Jane in Oct. of '66. Glenna was a doting mother to all of her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She always put her children's interest before her own, putting off buying anything for herself to ensure her children had new clothes. She was the perfect Mom.
Glenna began working outside the home during the Christmas season when Dan and Bryan were little. Her first full-time job was as the secretary of the First Lutheran Church in Havre, where she worked for many years. She left the Church and began her career in the insurance industry in the late 60's. She worked as the office manager for Flynn Insurance in Havre, Inman Insurance in Chinook, and Wagner Insurance in Washington. The owners of all the agencies greatly valued Glenna as an employee and were sorry when she left to pursue her next job.
Glenna lived in Havre until 1979, when Swede's job moved them to Chinook. Glenna and Swede moved from Chinook to Snohomish, WA in 1987, returning to MT in 2001, semi-retiring in Stevensville. Glenna worked part-time for Thomas' Insurance Agency in Stevensville, and became active in the Senior Center, serving as the secretary there for a number of years.
Glenna was a friendly, social person, always putting the needs and wishes of others before her own. She was a hard worker, working a full day at her job and then taking care of all of the duties associated with raising four children in the evening. If you were ever around the house, you know you could find Glenna late at night in the kitchen working, baking, and listening to country western music. Glenna always had a good joke to tell, a smile on her face and got her work done in a cheerful manner. She was an excellent cook and an accomplished seamstress. Her meatballs, angel food cake, sugar cookies and pickles are legendary!
Glenna lived in her home in Stevensville for 22 years where she enjoyed the community, the Senior Center, being close to many grandchildren and great grandchildren, and doting on her dog Bandit. In July of '23, after suffering several health and memory issues, Glenna moved to the Village Senior Residence, Pearl Garden memory care unit in Missoula. Throughout her time at the Village, she remained happy and content, frequently saying "this is a nice place, the people here are very kind, I can't complain about anything."
Glenna was proceeded in death by her husband of 64 years Brice (Swede) Cederberg, her parents Melvin and Mabel Lundberg, her three siblings; Wilford Lundberg, Virginia Lundberg McCracken, and Melvin Lundberg and her son Bryan Cederberg. She is survived by her children: Dan (Forey) Cederberg of Missoula, MT; Brice Cederberg of Missoula, MT; and Jane (Ray) Bedford of Fairbanks, AK; grandchildren: Jerilyn (Chris) Lankhaar, Jaqlyn Cederberg, Brad (Monica) Cederberg, Jenna (Kris) Cederberg, Breland (Brady) Tommerup, Zac Hereth, Dac Cederberg, Amanda Bedford, and Thomas Bedford.
