Elaine (Buhl) Aliotta

Elaine was welcomed into heaven on April 21, 2024 after a brief illness and complications from a hip fracture. Her daughters were at her side when she made the transition from earthly life. Elaine was born to Frank & Ida Buhl of Graceville, MN on September 16, 1924. She grew up on the farm with her two sisters, Margaret and Betty. She shared many stories of the fun the Buhl girls had growing up. She attended the College of St. Benedict. She married Michael Aliotta, an officer in the U.S. Army and had two daughters. Army life allowed them to live in various locations throughout the U.S. and Europe. Elaine and the girls eventually moved back to Morris, Minnesota. Elaine received her teaching degree from UMM. Although she had many careers throughout her life, including being an assistant buyer at Dayton's, a med tech, owning a furniture store and finally a teacher. From that list, teaching elementary school in Morris was her favorite. She loved her students. She would often have them start their day by standing up and wrapping their arms around themselves to give themselves a big hug. She would tell the students everyone should start the day with a hug. After retiring, she moved to the Twin Cities. She enjoyed dancing, reading, traveling, volunteering and golf. Elaine enjoyed living life to the fullest. She was a "fashionista" who would always put on makeup and a coordinating outfit before leaving the house - even at 99. She was hoping to make it in to her 101st year but ran short by a few months. Elaine is preceded in death by her fiancée, Leo Zaworski; parents, Frank and Ida Buhl; sister and brother-n-law, Margaret & Vic Zeiher; brother-in-law, EW Bunkers; niece, Susan Dahl; and nephew, Frank Bunkers. Elaine is survived by daughters, Jilda Aliotta (Bloomfield, CT) and Terry (William) Gustafson (Bloomington, MN); sister, Betty Bunkers (Oak Park, IL) and several nieces and nephews. We would like to thank the Fairview Southdale Hospital, Grace Hospice and MC Little Hospice House for their wonderful care. A celebration of life service will be held in May.

Mary loved living on Silver Lake, seeing her 3 boys (as she referred to us) and their families come there. She loved sitting on the deck watching the grandkids play in the yard, throwing balls for the dogs, and fishing with saltine crackers. Every holiday was expected to be at the house that she was so proud of! Up until the very end, the depth of Paul and Mary's love for each other was evident and there was no place she would rather be than by Paul's side. Mary was funny, charming, and caring and was proud of her Ave'Lallemant heritage. Her absence will leave a big void in the lives of her family and friends. Mary is survived by her Son's Peter (Kirstin), Mark (Leigh), Jon (Cris), grandchildren Sam (Katie), Jake, Josh, Lily, Annika & Jack, and sisters Jane Ave'Lallemant, Cathy Zinner (Ted).

Carl Aven

Aven, Carl In memory of a man whose zest for life was matched only by his generosity and creativity. Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Carl Aven, has departed from us just ten minutes shy of his 89th birthday. He is survived by his devoted wife of 67 years, Bonna Lee Metzger Aven, and their eight children: Kelly Aven Oberg, Paula Aven Allen, Patricia Aven Russell, Julie Aven, Carla Aven Breakwell, Leigh-Ann Aven Stewart, Laura Aven Brooks, and James Aven. He is also remembered fondly by his sister, Joyce Vermilyea, and leaves behind a legacy cherished by numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. Born in San Diego, he was one of three children in a Navy household, experiencing the transient life of post-Great War America before his family eventually settled in Minneapolis, MN. He pursued his education at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN. After marrying the love of his life, Bonna, he relocated south to Lake Park, Florida. There, he co-founded the Grator Gator on Singer Island and Big Dollar in Jupiter, while also serving as town commissioner. A devout Catholic and known for his quick wit and infectious laughter, Carl was a jokester who greeted everyone with a smile, leaving a lasting impression on those who crossed his path. His involvement with his childrens' sports was more than just coaching; it was a passion that made him an indelible figure in the sports community. Through years of mentoring and coaching, he touched countless lives, leaving behind a legacy of sportsmanship and camaraderie. Resourceful and practical, there wasn't a problem that couldn't be solved with a little ingenuity and a roll of duct tape. His impact extended beyond Florida to Roswell, GA, where he was actively involved in the community. Retired from Merril Lynch after a 40 year career as a VP. He was a proud member of the Knights of Columbus, lent his voice as a football announcer for the Hornets on Friday nights, and served as a dedicated school bus driver for 10 years. Though he may no longer walk among us, his spirit will continue to inspire and uplift us, reminding us to approach life with humor, kindness, and an unwavering determination to overcome any obstacle.
