Obituary for Clarice L. Lindahl
Clarice Leone Lindahl, 81, of Frederic, WI, died Sunday, May 3, 2009 at Abbott Northwestern Hospital. She was born May 16, 1927, in Eureka Township to Harry and Ruth Skoog. She attended St. Croix Falls High School where she graduated in 1945. She married Gene Lindahl on July 1, 1950. They spent the early years of their marriage traveling throughout Wisconsin for Gene’s job with the Department of Transportation. Gene’s first birthday gift to Clarice was son, Mike born on her birthday in 1951. Daughter, Mary was born in 1952. In 1956 the family moved to Frederic. Another daughter, Jill was born in 1957. In 1960 they moved to their newly built home on Park Avenue, where she resided until her death. For several years Clarice stayed at home raising her children and helping to raise others. She volunteered her time with Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts. For nearly forty years she was a well known source of fresh cookies for the neighborhood children. When she deemed her children old enough, she took a job at the Frederic Clinic. Following that, she worked in the insurance department at Bremer Bank for many years. She was an active member of Pilgrim Lutheran Church. In over fifty years of membership she rarely, if ever, said no to an opportunity to serve. She enjoyed snowmobiling, gardening, walking, shopping, visiting with friends, and spending time at the lake. She took great pride in her housework and yard work. What she loved most was spending time with her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and her sisters and brothers. Each year she looked forward to and contributed to the food, fun and the fellowship of the annual Skoog reunion.
