Martha Josefine Lunde, 102, formerly of Reuter Avenue, died Friday at St. Leonard's Rehabilitation Center in Centerville, Ohio.
Born near Stavanger, Norway, on June 19, 1902, while her parents, Eilert L. and Karen Eek Lunde, were visiting relatives, the family moved from Brooklyn, N.Y., in 1906 to Gale Hill Road in the New Britain area of New Lebanon, N.Y. She attended a one-room schoolhouse in New Britain.
She later returned to Brooklyn, where she apprenticed as a milliner. After her parents sold their farm in 1926, she moved with them to Pittsfield, where she was employed by the former Gray's Millinery Shop. She then worked as an aide at the former St. Luke's Hospital.
Ms. Lunde was employed by GE during World War II. After the war, she remained as a comptometer operator in the transformer department until retiring in 1967.
She moved to Hartford, Conn., in 1974 to be with her sister, Lilly Lunde Fuller. In 1977, they moved to Farmington, N.M., then to Durango, Colo. After the death of her sister, she moved to Dayton, Ohio, in 1991 to be near cousins.
She enjoyed visiting relatives and friends in Norway and made several trips there after her retirement.
She leaves nieces and nephews.
