Jean A. (White) Danielson

Danielson, Jean A. (nee White) Beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, age 84 of Minneapolis died peace-fully in her sleep on November 14, 2015. Preceded in death by her parents Anna and Harry. Survived by loving husband of 62 years, Richard "Dick"; sister Lois Schomp of San Francisco, CA; sons Robert (Sheila) of Eden Prairie, Charles (Sue) of Edina; daughter Janet (Steve) Vecchi of Dacula, GA; five grandchildren, Lindsay Danielson of Eden Prairie, Michael (Katie) Danielson of Maple Grove, Andrew Danielson of St. Paul, Samuel Danielson of Edina, Katie Vecchi of New York, and four great-grandchildren. Jean was a life-long resident of Minneapolis and active member of Mount Olivet Lutheran Church. She graduated from Washburn High School (class of 1949), attended Gustavus Adolphus College, and completed Saint Mary's X-Ray technician program. She married the love of her life, Richard "Dick" Danielson on November 28, 1953. Jean was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother and a wonderful friend and neighbor to many. She saw her family, friends, and dogs as a true blessing in her life. She was a life-long active member of Mt. Olivet Lutheran Church as a nursery school (her favorite), Sunday school, and confirmation teacher. She was a devoted volunteer at Mount Olivet nursing home and Cathedral of the Pines. Her great love for the water was on full display at the family cabin they built on Lake Sylvia near Annandale, MN in 1966. There she could swim, listen to the loons, take rides on her pontoon and enjoy the company of many friends. She loved animals so much that in lieu of birthday presents, she requested donations be made to the Humane Society. And, she never went anywhere without her dogs in tow. The family thanks the exceptional caregivers Rosemary, Betty, Joy, Barbara and the Asera Care Hospice staff, for their comfort these past number of months and in her final days. A celebration of life service will be held WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18; 1:00 PM at MT. OLIVET LUTHERAN CHURCH, 50th and Knox Ave. S. Mpls. Visitation one-hour prior to service, in lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to The Humane Society, 845 Meadow Lane North, Golden Valley, MN 55422.
