Leone Marie Hunter-Gjesvold

Hunter-Gjesvold, Leone Marie of Crystal. Sept. 8, 1954 - Dec. 12, 2015 Beloved Wife, Mother, Grammy, Sister, Daughter, Friend, and colleague, Leone Hunter-Gjesvold was called home to heaven December 12, 2015 after a brief illness. She was born in Mankato, MN, oldest of 4 children, to Norma (Schweim) and Luverne Lueck. As a young girl, she enjoyed playing make believe with her little brother Jimmy and riding bikes with her sisters-usually to her Grandma Lueck's house (a block away). She spent a lot of time with her Grandma Lueck who she considered as her role model. Her Grandma's strength, wisdom, kindness, and compassion for others shaped Leone's ideals and inspired her to achieve her dreams and become a strong role model for others, especially women. Leone was a strong willed, independent woman who knew exactly what she wanted. She lived her life exactly the way she wanted all the way to the end. She lived with passion, she loved deeply, spoke frankly, laughed hard, and shared it all with us unselfishly. She would not want you to mourn her but instead celebrate the fun times you shared and smile at the memories. Then go buy something and donate it to charity, but get yourself something nice too.Because of that spirit, in lieu of flowers, please donate to Sharing and Caring Hands or your favorite charity. Survived by her loving husband, Duane Gjesvold, her two children and her two grandchildren: Ross (Nikki) Hunter and their son Drake, Jon (Erica) Hunter and their son Garrett, mother Norma (Schweim) Lueck, brother James (Pat) Lueck and their sons Tony (Ashley) Lueck and their children Addison and Austin, Robert (Nicole) Lueck and their son Karsyn, sisters Carol (Jim) Schank and her son Andrew Prindle, Sherry Schultz and her daughters Kimberly (Neal) O'Connell and Katie Schultz. She is also survived by many Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and many dear friends that she considered family. She was preceded in death by her father Luverne Lueck, grandparents Leslie and Marie Lueck, Arthur and Edna Schweim, niece Katherine Prindle. A Celebration of Life service will be held on Friday, December 18th at 11:00 AM at Calvary Lutheran Church, 7520 Golden Valley Rd, Golden Valley, MN 55427, with visitation before the service starting at 10:00 AM.
