Jean L. Lindstrom

Jean L. Lindstrom (1933-2022) Jean Louise Lindstrom, 89, died Thursday, Aug. 11, at Kingsley Shores in Lakeville. She was born April 11, 1933, in Red Wing, Minnesota, the only child of Oscar and Esther Munson. She was raised on the Munson Hill family farm in Welch, where she doted on her animals, including Spike the dog and her show heifer, Nancy. Jean met her future husband, Gordon Lindstrom, at 4-H as teenagers. She was a 1951 graduate of Red Wing High School and worked as a secretary for 3M for nine years. Jean and Gordy married Oct. 22, 1955, at Cross of Christ Lutheran Church in Welch. In 1958 they built the Brooklyn Center home where they raised sons Keith and Kent, and made memories for nearly a half-century. While Gordy traveled for work with the Federal Reserve, Jean held down the fort at home. She was a Boy Scout den mother, faithful attendee of band concerts and basketball games, and longtime election judge. Jean and Gordy were dedicated members of Elim Lutheran Church in Robbinsdale. She led the church's Leisure Age Center for 45 years, providing opportunities for socialization and fun for local seniors. Jean and Gordy escorted hundreds of trips around the country and abroad. No matter how far they traveled, Jean made sure everyone - and their luggage - was back on the bus with time to spare. Jean relished her role as Nana to her four granddaughters. It was apparent by her enthusiasm in their childhood activities and support as they grew into adults with careers, independence and families of their own. She delighted in finding four sets of everything, whether it was Beanie Babies or matching outfits. Nana lit up every time she held the family's newest addition, great-grandson Theo. Jean could be counted on to bring the best rice pudding to Christmas dinner. She loved her family and friends fiercely and was endlessly generous with her time, resources and love. Surviving are sons Keith (Lin) and Kent (Nancy) Lindstrom; granddaughters Katy (Tyler) Van Heest, Lauren, Madeline (fiancé Daniel Hansen) and Megan Lindstrom, and great-grandson Theodore Van Heest. Visitation will be 4-7 p.m Monday, Aug. 15 at Washburn-McReavy Funeral Home, 4239 W. Broadway Ave., Robbinsdale. A funeral service will be 11 a.m. Tuesday with visitation one hour prior at Elim Lutheran Church, 3978 W. Broadway Ave., Robbinsdale, followed by a 3 p.m. burial at Cross of Christ Lutheran Church, Welch. Tributes are suggested to The Elim Foundation. www.Washburn-McReavy.com Robbinsdale Chapel 763-537-2333
