Funeral arrangements are with Funeral Home of the Northern Hills in Belle Fourche. Adeline Genevive Tenold was born on Sept 6th, 1919, to John and Ellen Olinger. Addie grew up in the Salem area, and as she was the only girl in the family and had 7 brothers, she had to be tough. Once, while playing with them in the barn haymow they decided to see if she could fly and threw her out of the haymow door. She didn't fly, or even glide, and fortunately had no broken bones from the landing. Addie married Arthur Tenold of Reva, SD. They made their home on the Tenold ranch. Eventually Arts parents, Iver and Anna, retired and moved to Belle Fourche, and Art and Addie purchased the family farm. On the farm they raised their children, Marlene (Molly), Gene, and Bonnie. It was a family enterprise, with the children helping with the cattle, farming, milk cows, and ranching. Addie raised chickens for eggs and fryers each fall and sold eggs and cream to the local food store. The 4th of July was a fun event for the Tenolds as they always loaded up and headed for the Belle Fourche roundup rodeo and carnival. Molly remembers that the kids always promised to help milk the cows when they got home, no matter how late it was. But when the time came, the kids were always conveniently fast asleep, (or pretending to be), to get out of doing it! Luckily for Art and Addie there were only five cows to milk. Branding time was also enjoyable, and a good time to get together with neighbors. It was hard work and long days, but everyone enjoyed the visiting and especially the good food. Addie was a great cook and got up very early to make her apple and cream pies and fry some chicken or make some roast beef. All of the neighbors took their turns at "hosting" their branding event so by the time they were done everyone had been visited. Addie was very active in community activities, but she was especially active in the Slim Buttes Lutheran Church and the community Bible study. Her favorite hobby was probably fishing, and when the work was caught up she and Art would sometimes take a fishing trip to Canada with the Hoff families (Doug, Molly, Brian, Andrea, Henry and Ava). Each family had campers and it was a great time. Addie and Art also spent a lot of time fishing the local dams and lakes in western SD. Along with fishing, Addie loved cooking, sewing, playing the organ, and visiting family and friends.Adeline is survived by her daughters Molly (Doug) Hoff of Spearfish, Bonnie Tenold of Berthoud CO; son, Gene (Janice) Tenold of Reva; 8 grandchildren, Shad Tenold, Dustin (Dana) Tenold, Deidra Tenold, Brian (Sherri) Hoff, Andrea (Aaron) Ambur, Aaron Bloedel, Travis (Britta) Bloedel, Bianca Conley; 7 great grandchildren, Brandon and Seth Tenold, Max Bloedel, Brianna and Anari Hoff, Aubrey and AJ Ambur.
