Gloria J. Issendorf

Gloria Jean Issendorf, 81, passed away on Tuesday, February 10, 2026 at the Elysian in Lake City.

Gloria was born on January 5, 1945 in Lake City to Alvin & Gladys (Von Helmst) Duden. On October 16, 1965 she married Dennis Issendorf. Dennis and Gloria took over Dennis' family farm from when they were married, until they retired in 2006. Gloria enjoyed gardening, antiquing, and watching over the local deer herd that would often visit her home.

She was a strong and independent woman all throughout life. From in childhood, spending her time breaking horses, to her adamant reluctance to give up her chainsaw later in life. Gloria loved her flowers, dogs, and especially time with her family.

She is survived by her son Bradley; three grandchildren Brandon, Emily, and Delaney; one great granddaughter, Aubrey Issendorf and sisters Eunice (Allen) Blattner and Dinah (John) Marking.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Dennis; her parents; one son, Mike; one daughter Diann Kay and one grandson Owen Bradley Issendorf.

Services for Gloria will be 11 a.m. Friday, February 13, 2026 at First Lutheran Church in Lake City with a visitation one hour prior to the service at the church. Burial will take place at Lakewood Cemetery. Arrangements were entrusted to Mahn Family Funeral Home, Anderson-Peterson Chapel.
