Gun Lake Tribe mourns passing of former Chair, Sprague-Fodor

The Gun Lake Tribe Wednesday announced the passing of former Chairperson Leah Sprague-Fodor on Sept 10 at her home in Dorr.

 

She is survived by husband, Bill Fodor, who was Leah’s faithful companion for 23 years; her son Brice; her father DK Sprague; her siblings Frank (Tami) Sprague, Virginia (David) Vanderband and Ryan Sprague; her nieces and nephews, Jason, Desirae, Gena Sprague, Ciara, Reece, Grace Jacobs, Mason Sprague; many extended family and special friends, including Stephanie Rahn and Jennifer Palmer.
