Her world revolved around her family. From the loudest in the crowd as she cheered on her children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews at every sporting event, to the quiet moments of shared connection, she cherished every bond. Lucky’s 13 in Roseville was more than just a workplace; it was her second family, a community that she embraced with open arms. Her heart overflowed with affection for her animals, and for the friends who filled her life with immeasurable joy.

Terri faced her cancer battle with extraordinary bravery and grace, an inspiration to all who witnessed her strength. Though her fight was tragically short, she fought like hell.

Born on March 21, 1944, in St. Paul, MN, Jeannine lived a life filled with warmth, generosity, and an unwavering dedication to her family, friends, and community. She graduated from Globe Business College before embarking on a 46-year career at Ace Hardware on Grand Avenue in St. Paul. Starting as a clerk at just 15 years old, she worked her way up to Office Manager and eventually became the majority owner alongside her husband, James. Her leadership extended beyond the store as she served on the Grand Avenue Business Association board of directors for several years, always striving to support local businesses and strengthen the community she loved.

Jeannine had a heart as vast as the ocean she adored in Hawaii. She found immense joy sitting on the lanai, feeling the soft breeze while watching the waves roll in—especially when surrounded by family and friends. Her kindness knew no bounds; she was deeply committed to helping those in need, whether through personal acts of generosity or supporting numerous charities dedicated to uplifting others.

At Ace Hardware, Jeannine created more than just a business—she built a family. Customers weren’t just patrons; they were welcomed as old friends. It was not uncommon for her to travel across the country and run into someone who remembered her from the store, and she greeted each one with open arms and genuine interest in their lives. The hardware store was also home to five beloved cats that brought her endless joy.

Beyond her love for people and animals, Jeannine had an enduring admiration for Elvis Presley—the only other love of her life besides James, her husband of 53 years.

Jeannine is survived by her husband, James F. Solin; stepdaughter, Elisa Welliver, CA; grandchildren, Forrest Welliver, Hannah Rothschild. and Ryan Lynn all of the Twin Cities; sister, Suzanne Vax Laverdiere, TX; niece, Kelly (Gregory) Garramone, Washington DC; nephew, Matthew (Jennifer) Laverdiere, TX; and grand-nieces and grand-nephew, Gwyneth Garramone, MD; Jessie Laverdiere, Dylan Laverdiere, and Alexie Laverdiere, TX; plus many cousins and friends.

Passed away peacefully from complications due to dementia on March 11th, 2025 while under Minnesota Hospice care.

Bob was born on January 15, 1947 in St. Paul, MN.  He attended Humboldt High School and later vocational school to learn the machinist trade.  He had an extremely creative mind, fixing or rigging up any challenge that came his way.  While working at Honeywell, Bob was drafted into the U.S. Army during the Vietnam crisis in 1971.  Bob retired from 3M in 2007.

Bob married his wife of nearly 50 years, Lillian, on May 17, 1975, whom he met on a blind date.  They were each other’s best friend and did almost everything together.  He was a man of few words until he got to know you.  He loved all things cars- new and old.  He attended car shows, subscribed to many car magazines and always had a new Mustang in the garage- preferably red.

Bob and Lil traveled over the years and especially enjoyed the scenic and serene beauty of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  They enjoyed relaxing in their sunroom watching the variety of wildlife that wandered by.

Bob and his 18-year-old cockatiel, Sunny, were a bonded pair. When she tragically died a year ago, it seemed that a part of Bob left with her.  She was very special to him.

Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Lake and Marcella (Tuma) Ward; sister, Patricia Jungbauer; brother-in-law, Edwin Schmierer; parents-in-law, John and Frieda Schmierer and Blanche Schmierer.  He is survived by wife, Lillian; sister, Kathy (Joe) Loney; brother, Paul (Deb Kammerer); brother-in-law, Steve Jungbauer; sister-in-law, Lorna (Greg) Schafer; sister-in-law, Mary Schmierer; and many nieces, nephews and their children.
