Victoria Lynn Rathbun was born December 4, 1955 in Indiana. As a young teen, Victoria became a part of the Lund family as Tory Beth in Pierre, South Dakota and has been a member of the family since. Tory graduated from Alexandria High School in Alexandria, Minnesota in 1974 and from Platte Valley Bible College in Scottsbluff, Nebraska in 1978.

Tory was preceeded in death by her mother Lenora Lund. Tory is survived by two sons, Christopher Rathbun (spouse Cheryl) and James Rathbun, four grandchildren, Aowyne, Kelsey, Devlin, and Konnor. She is also survived by her father Lowell Lund and four siblings, Nita Jackson (John Mark), Brian Lund (Lois), Vicki Grant, and Andrew Lund.

As a teen, Tory gave her life to Christ and particularly enjoyed youth group, youth rallies, and bible camp. During these activities she began lifelong friendships, and in bible college continued making lifelong friends she held dear to her heart. As an adult, Tori lived and worked a variety of jobs in Nebraska, Colorado, and Wyoming, continuing to develop deep friendships. Serving for several years on the Wyoming Governors Council for Disabilities was a source of pride for Tory where she served with thoughtfulness and passion.

With her own unique sense of fashion Tory dressed boldly in her own style and loved to created new looks. She loved to cook and never hesitated to try new dishes to share with family and friends. Tory was fiercely proud of and fiercely loved her sons, and is known by her family and friends as loyal, with a sharp wit, a good sense of humor, and positive attitude. When you spent time with her there was no question she loved you because she was vocal in expressing her love. In the face of physical and memory challenges in recent years, Tory never failed to express her love and appreciation to those around her. While we will never know the number of lives touched by Tory, she was a blessing to many.

Tory loved to attend church and worship with her church family. Her love for the Lord ran deep and she knew what eternity held for her; peace and rest in the arms of her Savior.

Tory Beth Rathbun will be missed by those who know and love her.
