Joan M. Tiedemann
March 19, 1924 — August 27, 2015
Joan Myra Tiedemann, 91, passed away Thursday, August 27, 2015 at the Pine Haven Care Center, Pine Island, where she had resided since December 2013.
Joan was born March 19, 1924 in Cascade Township, Olmsted County to August and Meta (nee Ihrke) Koenig. Joan was the youngest of their four daughters. She cared for her invalid mother until her mother's death. Joan married Walter Henry Tiedemann on September 24, 1950 at Grace Lutheran Church in Oronoco. Joan and Walter farmed in Chester Township, Wabasha County until moving to Mazeppa in 1977. Joan and Walter were members of St. John's Lutheran Church in Mazeppa where they were custodians for several years. They were adult leaders for the local 4-H club and members of the Senior Citizens Center. Joan and Walter were a "team", working side by side, as cited in an article in the local newspaper as to the success of their marriage. While living in Mazeppa Joan assisted several of the town's elderly in their homes for several years. Her life was one of caring, hardworking and an unselfish nature. She was never idle, mowing her own lawn and shoveling snow into her upper 80's. Walter passed away September 20, 2013.
Joan is survived by a son, Kenneth of Dodge Center; two daughters, Barbara (Michael) Koball of Pine Island and Nancy Tiedemann of LaCrosse, WI; grandchildren, Alicia (Zlatan) Krizan, Sara, Larry and David Tiedemann; and six great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Walter; son Russell; three infant granddaughters; sisters, Esther (Leonard) Prokasky, Phyllis (Frank) Wise and May (Amos) Whipple.
The memorial service will be held on Sunday, August 30, 2015 at 2:00 PM at St. John's Lutheran Church in Mazeppa with Pastor Alan Horn officiating. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service at the church. Burial will be in the Mazeppa Cemetery.
Memorials may be made to the Mazeppa Cemetery Association or the Mazeppa Area Historical Society.
