April 27, 1956 — December 19, 2014
Wanda Lynn Hinrichs, age 58, of Zumbrota died peacefully at her home on Friday, December
19, 2014. She was born on April 27, 1956 in Zumbrota to Albert and Dorothy (Markuson)
Nygren. She graduated from Zumbrota High School in 1974 and went on to Rochester
Community College to obtain a degree in nursing. On July 12, 1980 she married Dave Hinrichs;

receiving a double lung transplant on July 3, 2003. For the last 7 years of her life, she worked as
a medical coder for the Mayo Clinic. Wanda enjoyed crocheting, knitting, embroidery, cooking,
camping, blues music, spending time with her family and friends, and most of all doing whatever
she could to make sure everyone was taken care of.
