60th Wedding Anniversary
Ione and Wally DeSautel celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary with their family at Fair Oaks Golf Course in Grafton on June 7, 2009. They were married on June 6, 1949 at St. Mary's Cathedral in Bismarck, ND. The party was hosted by their children, Debby (Joe) Karas, Tim (Jan) DeSautel, Mike (Jill) DeSautel, Becky (Wayne) Coulthart, Guy (Chryl) DeSautel, and Kent (Jane) DeSautel.
When they were married, workers left the church for an hour before returning to the remodeling project. Photos show the bride passing under the scaffolding as she walked down the aisle. Family members set up scaffolding for the couple to walk under when they entered the room for the anniversary party.
