Henry (Hank) Siirtola passed away on June 7, 2025, in the care of Missouri Slope Care Center. A graveside service will be held on Saturday, June 21, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. at the Ahola Cemetery, Rural Wing, with Rev. Trisha DeBoer officiating.

Henry Arnold Siirtola was born August 20, 1934, to Heimo and Aino Siirtola, Wing ND. He grew up farming and ranching on the family farm until he retired in the town of Wing, ND. He attended country school and graduated from high school in 1953. He then joined the Marine Corps and was extremely proud to be a Marine. He received a Quilt of Valor from CHI Hospice while in the MSL care center. He was very active with his nephews’ lives, with hunting and fishing. With that, the stories had them rolling on the floor and shaking their heads. As Henry got older, he found himself in many predicaments and always relied on a third-generation niece (Josephine Braun) to “bail him out”.

He is survived by one sister-in-law, Clara Siirtola, nieces, nephews, 2nd generation nieces and nephews, 3rd generation nieces and nephews, 4th generation nieces and nephews, and 5th generation nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, five sisters; Linda Dehne, Martha Saari, Hulda Little, Selma Laub, and baby Anna, and four brothers; Felix, Everett, Francis (Frank), and Leonard.

Honorary Pallbearers: Darrell Saari, Gene Siirtola, James Siirtola, Roland Siirtola, Mark Siirtola, and Jason Siirtola.
