A funeral will be held Saturday at Witzleben's Bragaw Chapel at 10 a.m. with the Rev. John Henry officiating. Friends and family are invited to 7342 Madelynne Drive after the service for a time of sharing. Burial will be at a later date in Anchorage Memorial Park Cemetery. Mrs. Huseby was born October 1, 1900, in Duluth, Minn., to Matilda and Alexander McDonell. The last of six children, she attended schools in Duluth through high school and was employed as a telephone operator before her marriage. In 1924 she married Einer Huseby of Aniwa, Wis. They had three children while living in Milwaukee. When the Depression hit, they moved to Pembine, Wis. In 1935 they were one of 200 families to colonize the Matanuska Valley in Palmer. In 1939 they moved to Anchorage. During the 1950s and early 1960s, Mr. and Mrs. Huseby operated a well-patronized laundry business adjacent to their home in the developing community of Chugiak. They homesteaded land near Lake Nancy in 1961 and lived there until Mr. Huseby died in 1973. Mrs. Huseby entered the Pioneers' Home in 1979 and resided there until her death. Mrs. Huseby was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary, Sons of Norway and First United Methodist Church. While her children were growing up, she held various jobs to help the family meet its needs. Her family recalled: ''A loyal wife and caring mother, she loved music and dancing, enjoyed the beauty of flowers and gardens. Alzheimer's disease robbed her later years of the ability to recognize and enjoy her surroundings. We release her to God's everlasting life and hope to be together one day.'' She is survived by her son, Donald E. Huseby of San Jose, Calif.; daughter, Marjorie H. Wooster of Anchorage; son and daughter-in-law, Kenneth J. and Marie of Anchorage; grandchildren, Dana, Michael, Mark and Susan Huseby, June and John Huseby, Helen Coker, and Beth, Chris, Kenneth, Jeannette and Gayle Wooster; and 13 great-grandchildren. Arrangements were by Witzleben Fuenral Home and Crematory.
