Age 86 years
Passed on to her heavenly home November 6, 2022 surrounded by Love. Born January 13, 1936. Preceded in death by brother Robert Reed and Son-in-law Dr. John Gustafson. Survived by husband of 67 years, Charles; daughters: Cynthia Gustafson, Julie (Brian) Wold, Debra (Robert) Anderson, Sandra (Daniel) Bassamore; Son: Charles “Chip” (Roxanne); 14 grandchildren; 25 great-grandchildren; many nieces, nephews and friends.
Mom loved gardening, walking, cooking for a crowd, watching sunsets and holding your hand. On October 7, 1955 she married her high school sweetheart, Charlie. She worked as a cocktail waitress at the Met Stadium Club, hostess at the Ambassador, and her favorite job and retired from Mpls Food Service at Wenonah Elementary serving the kids. We especially want to thank the Nursing Assistants that took such loving care of mom while in memory care. She touched so many lives and blessed each one of us.
