Ursula was employed by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe for 25 years. And in her later years worked as a librarian for the St. Bernard Catholic mission school. She had many hobbies and especially loved her family, having no children of her own but loved being a constant parent in the lives of her niece Kathleen Good Iron and nephews Keith Good Iron and Bernard Good Iron.

Ursula enjoyed sewing, crocheting, bingo, and being as active as possible in every element of her families life and was very active in her grandchildren and great-grandchildren's upbringing. Her greatest joy was to see all her family gathered around her sharing in the joys of everyday life. She will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

She is survived by her niece, Kathleen of Rapid City, SD, nephews, Keith Good Iron, and Bernard Good Iron both of Ft. Yates, ND, several grandchildren and great-grandchildren and extended family.
