Wynette was born March 28, 1924 on the family farm in Iota Flat Township of Ward County, the daughter of August and Rosella (Anhorn) Marschall.  She attended country schools and graduated from Minot High School.

Wynette was united in marriage to Ernest Halden on October 11, 1942 in Minot.  When Ernest was drafted into the U.S. Army, she followed him to Georgia for basic training.  Shortly after his deployment overseas for World War II, she returned to Minot.

Upon completion of the war, he returned to Minot and they made their home in Minot until  they purchased a  farm in Newman Township in 1949.   Wynette was not only a farm wife but also farm partner.   She milked cows, fed a variety of animals, hauled hay, picked rocks and hauled many, many loads of grain.  She loved to mow her yard and grow beautiful flowers and gardens.  Even though Ernest died on May 19, 1983, she continued to live and help on the farm until two weeks ago.
