Juliet Elizabeth Crennel Linder

Linder, Juliet Elizabeth Crennel September 12, 1950 - March 20, 2017 On Monday, March 20 Juliet Linder. 66, of Minneapolis surrendered her 25 year battle with MS and went home to be with the Lord. Born in Lynchburg, VA to the late Msgt. Joseph L. and Mary (Donigan) Crennel, Juliet spent her childhood in Virginia, Kentucky, Texas and Germany as the family followed her father's military career. After receiving her B.A. in Nursing from Duke University, Juliet relocated with her new husband to Minneapolis, where she later earned her MSN in Nursing Mgmt from the U of M. In the late 1970s and early 80's she supervised the Cardiac & Coronary Care Unit at Hennepin County Medical Center, while also serving as President of the Twin Cities Chapter of the American Association of Critical Care Nurses. During her tenure she helped to revise the national certification exam for critical care nurses. Juliet worked in ICU/CCU units at Divine Redeemer Hospital and at Fairview St. Mary's and Abbott Northwestern. She also taught as a clinical instructor at St. Mary's Jr. College and MCTC, and was active in the Minnesota Black Nurses Association and in ToastMistresses. Later in her career she worked as a Technical Consultant for Medtronic in their Cardiac Pacemaker Division. Juliet was preceded in death by her parents Mary and Joseph Crennel and is survived by her devoted husband of 44 years, Dr. Harvey D. Linder of Minneapolis, and two sons, Donigan (Angela) Linder of Elk River, and Da Vis Linder of Minneapolis, two brothers, Romeo (Rosemary) Crennel of Palm Beach Gardens, FL, and Carl Crennel of Norfolk, VA, three sisters: Brenda Foster of Raleigh, NC, Joanne (Peter) Crennel Byrne of Cambria, Heights, NY, and Raymonde Johnson, also of Norfolk, and sister-in-law Sandra Crennel of Jacksonville, FL, a treasured and devoted aunt, Cordelia (Randolph) Green of Lynchburg, VA, and her dear mother-in-law, Eddie Mae Linder of Knoxville, TN, as well as dozens of other nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins much too numerous to receive mention here, as well as her longtime friend Clara DeLeon of Hilo, Hawaii. Juliet was loved and admired by all who knew her. Few failed to remark on what a lovely smile she always had on her face and of how she was always able to remain resolutely positive and upbeat in spite of the challenges she faced. Through her unwavering faith in Jesus Christ she served as a source of inspiration for many. She will be sorely missed. Funeral services will be private. The family will welcome flowers or donations to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Minnesota Chapter. Juliet preferred yellow flowers over red or pink, and no roses.
