Jane and I were in a lot of the same classes in high school, and during college we worked together as counselors at a Girl Scout camp in northern Wisconsin. She was smart, kind and had a great sense of humor. I'm a better person from knowing her and will miss her. Here is her obituary:
In Loving Memory: Jane Wiederholt
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jane Wiederholt, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She peacefully left this world on June 10, at the age of 75, surrounded by the love and warmth of her family. While we mourn her loss, we take solace in the beautiful memories she leaves behind.
Jane was welcomed to heaven by her parents Darwin & Mary Beulke, brothers John and Jim, and son Birch. She is survived by husband Richard Wiederholt, daughter Gretchen (Steve), son Richard (Danielle), son Charlie (Mandy), daughter Mary (Tanner), and grandchildren Landon, Nona, and Avery.
A speaker of multiple languages and world traveler; in her younger years Jane fearlessly travelled through Europe and the former Soviet Union and in her later years conquered the outback of Australia. From the bottom of the Grand Canyon to the mountains of New Zealand, Jane embraced the sense of adventure in her heart.
Professionally, Jane wore many hats working as a librarian, paralegal, law editor and more. Jane considered herself a lifelong Girl Scout, putting her skills to use in nature building campfires and embracing the outdoors. As a lover of learning she was an avid reader and sharer of knowledge. It is with fondness that we remember her love of baking, knowing she would never forget that extra bit of chocolate. We remember her delight for her furry companions, most recently Gatsby. We remember her ability to stay connected to those she loved, no matter the physical distance.
The family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude to all those who supported them during this difficult time. The outpouring of love, prayers, and comforting words has been a source of strength. Jane's family appreciates the kind messages, shared memories, and the presence of friends near and far.
A memorial service to celebrate Jane's life will take place at 11:00 am on Monday, June 26, 2023 with visitation 1 hour prior at Morris Nilsen Chapel in Richfield, Minnesota. In the meantime, the family encourages everyone to hold onto their cherished memories of Jane and continue to honor her by living life with kindness, compassion, and a sense of joy. In lieu of flowers, Jane asked that donations be made to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) or Caringbridge.
In honor of Jane, let us celebrate her remarkable life and the love she shared with us. May her memory be a source of comfort and strength, and may her beautiful soul rest in eternal peace.
