Jolanda
Schmidt Munson
Died 5/08/2025
On May 8, 2025,
Jolonda Munson peacefully completed her earthly journey and
entered into the eternal joy of her Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ. She was 86 years old and surrounded by the love and
prayers of her family at home.
Jolonda was born on
December 15, 1938, and raised on a farm in Wolf Point, Montana.
In 1946, her family relocated to Lewiston, Idaho, where she
would spend most of her life. She attended Lewiston High School,
and it was there that she met the love of her life, Douglas
Munson. Their 70 years together was a beautiful reflection of
Christ’s love—steady, sacrificial, and full of grace. Together,
they built a family that honored God, raising their three
children— Tammy Bringle, Sheree Herrmann, and Stephen
Munson—with wisdom, love, and truth.
Jolonda’s faith in
Jesus was her foundation. She was a woman of Scripture, of
prayer, and of peace. Her home was a place of refuge for many,
filled with warmth, kindness, and the kind of wisdom that only
comes from walking closely with the Lord.
In the last
thirty years of her life, Jolonda faced the trials of blindness
and later dementia. Yet even in suffering, her grace and inner
strength never wavered. She endured each season with dignity and
trust in the Lord, continuing to teach those around her what it
means to live and finish well.
She is survived by her
beloved husband, Douglas; her children, Tammy Bringle (husband
Brent), Sheree Herrmann (husband Rob), and Stephen Munson (wife
Kristine); her 9 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren; and
many others who were touched by her life, her love, and her
faith.
A memorial service to honor and celebrate
Jolonda’s life was held at Sequim Bible Church June 1st, 2025
Though we feel the weight of her absence, we take great
comfort in knowing she is now fully restored and rejoicing in
the presence of her Savior. The race is finished, the faith is
kept, and Heaven has welcomed a faithful servant home.
“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His faithful
servants.”
— Psalm 116:15
