Linda Louise Peter

Linda Peter (82), a lifelong resident of Minneapolis and its suburbs, passed alongside her family on the night of 10/17/2024. Linda is preceded in death by her parents, Alden and Shirley Hanson, sister Charlotte Goeman, and daughter in law Sue Krepis. She is survived by her children: Chuck (Jian Teng), Bill (Lisa), and Kristin Peter; grandchildren Jeff (Andi) Peter, Cassie (Joe) Gordon, Bryce Johnson, and Katie Peter; and was GG (great grandma) to Lili, Claira, Raiden, and Alden. Also survived by many friends, daughter-in-law Pam Peter, partner in crime Billy Joe White, and her beloved dog Louie. After having her first child, she persevered to receive her GED. She later graduated from Metro State University (MN) with a Bachelor's in Psychology and Human Services, being one of the first in her family with a college degree. Linda dedicated her life to serving others, within her career, within her family, and within her everyday life. Most notably, her time at Missions Inc. was spent transforming people's lives when they were at their lowest. She was always willing to help someone in need, no matter the cost. She retired from Missions Inc. in 2019, but continued to have an open heart and willingness to be there for those who oftentimes didn't have anyone. Linda, a true lover and advocate of all the arts, was a gifted artist in many ways. Her family will remember her by the artwork she collected, her love for music and singing, and her intricate, harmonious drawings. She encouraged all of her family to take up the arts, but especially her grandchildren. Although she had great love for her family, Linda's greatest (and 'secret') joy was her closest four-legged companions, Sammy and Louie. Her love for animals didn't stop with her dogs - she had a love for all life, and although she may have denied it, she loved the family cats too. Linda was compassionate, generous by all accounts, stubborn as all hell, and greatly loved by many. Linda has now left an absence in the lives of so many, but her impact on those around her will continue to push them to be the best people they can be. A service and celebration of life will be held on November 15th at 3:00pm at Washburn-McReavy Glen Haven Funeral Chapel, 5125 W Broadway, Crystal, MN 55429. Visitation will be held at 2:00pm. Refreshments will be served after the service. Please wear purple or blue, as those were Linda's favorite colors! In lieu of flowers, donate to Minnesota Public Radio, tpt (Twin Cities Public Broadcasting), or your local animal shelter
