In the early hours of Monday, September 9, 2019, Ruby LaRae Fladstol had one final confrontation with a medical complication. Despite efforts from her father, Clinton; brother, Rusty and responding EMTs, this massive coronary event claimed her life.
LaRae was born in Kenmare, ND and grew up in Conrad, MT. She and her family moved to Great Falls when she was a sophomore in high school, and except for a few years living in Alabama and Tennessee during her early twenties, she remained in the Great Falls area the rest of her life.
In her late twenties, she met and married John Kaun from the Knees community north of Great Falls. Despite a consistent effort, the marriage ended in divorce. However, it did give her the pride and joy of her life: her two children, LaMae and Jonah. After the divorce, with the help of her immediate family, she worked multiple jobs (often simultaneously) to help foster the development and well-being of her children and other family members.
In addition to children she also loved animals and as such showed great affection for the numerous pets throughout her life, including most recently, a calico cat named Kali, a golden lab named Buttercup, a Pitbull/St Bernard mix named Holly and two Corgis named Einstein and Maggie.
A Visitation for LaRae will be held Friday, September 13, 2019 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM in the Rose Room Chapel at Croxford Funeral Home. Her Funeral Service will be Saturday, September 14th at 1:00 PM at Croxford Funeral Home.
