Nancy Carl Funeral

Friday, August 2, 2024 | 12:00 PM

Carl, Nancy Jean (Kinsel), age 92, passed away peacefully on July 10, 2024 in Minneapolis, MN. Preceded in death by husband, James C. Carl and and sons Mark C. and James F. (Jay) Carl; brothers Wilcott, Leslie Jr (Red), Vance, Jerry, John and sisters Helen, Ada, Mary, Margaret, Phyllis, Jacqueline, Constance, Nadine, Jeanne, Barbara, and Sally.

Survived by daughter Cori (Mary C) Viehman and son in law Ed Viehman, son Brian J Carl, and her beloved grandchildren Katy Ramme (Michael Ramme), Miles Nielsen (Jocelyn), Brennan and Fallyn Carl and great grandchildren Mick and Madelynn Ramme.

The 16th of 17 children born to LH and Helen Cott Kinsel, Omaha, NE, she married the love of her life, Jim, and began married life at Travis AFB in Vacaville, CA. Following the birth of their first son Mark, Nancy and Jim moved to Minnesota and raised Mark, Cori, Brian and Jay in New Hope. A fierce proponent of Catholic education, Mom stood in the early morning sign up line at St Raphael’s in Crystal every August to ensure her children were enrolled, as well as crunching the budget so she and Dad could send their kids to Benilde and Grace High Schools.

Nancy and Jim and the boys moved to the Seattle, WA area in the early 1980s and they loved the Pacific Northwest. No snow or hot humid days! Given her large extended family, both in the Kinsel and Carl clans, Nancy had many, many beloved nieces and nephews from all parts of the US, who loved to visit her and visit with her.

Unfortunately, Mom began to exhibit symptoms of dementia and Alzheimer’s and was no longer able to live on her own so we packed her up and moved her home to Minnesota. She resided at St Therese New Hope and Oxbow Brooklyn Park and was a favorite of both the residents and staff.

Nancy was a devout Catholic and loved Our Lord and Blessed Mother and was so happy to have received the Sacrament of the Sick, make her final Confession and receive Communion while in the hospital which eased and comforted her.

So many thank yous to the caring and supportive staff and providers at North Memorial Medical Center, Robbinsdale and St Therese Health. Your wonderful care is appreciated. Memory Eternal, Mom.

Mass of Christian Burial Friday, August 2, 2024 at Noon at Our Lady of Grace, Edina, MN. Visitation one hour prior to Mass. Luncheon/Irish wake to follow. Burial at a later date at Tahoma National Cemetery, Kent, WA.

Jean Reuteler Funeral

Friday, June 21, 2024 | 10:30 AM

Jean Marie Reuteler (Johnson), age 60, passed away peacefully on June 2nd, 2024, after a year-long battle with pancreatic cancer.

Born on April 22nd, 1964, in St. Paul, Minnesota, Jean’s zest for life was evident from her early years. She traveled extensively during high school and even attended school in Italy. Her athleticism shined in high school through her participation in track and field, basketball and horseback riding. In college, Jean found an exciting career in modeling while she continued her education at the University of Minnesota. She then embraced the most rewarding role of all: motherhood.

In matters of the heart, Jean first married Kurt Hornnes with whom she had two beautiful daughters, Jamie and Jessie. Later, through a mutual friend, she found love again with Matt Reuteler. They married at their home in Jordan, Minnesota on February 8th, 2014.

Together with Matt, Jean indulged her love for travel with memorable trips to Jamaica and the Dominican Republic, among others. Jean cherished family vacations— especially those involving her children and grandchildren. The many trips out west to the mountains were truly adventurous. Closest to her heart, however, were visits to the family cabin on the Gunflint Trail. There, Jean loved to fish and enjoy the peace and beauty of the lake and wildflowers.

An accomplished knitter and canner—Jean was a multiple State Fair blue ribbon winner for her canned goods. She also had a passion for cooking that drew everyone to seek out her recipes, which she happily shared. Family members reached out from near and far for any and all cooking advice!

She will be remembered for her compassionate, loving and giving nature, complemented by a humorous and sassy spirit. Jean’s presence was as comforting as it was invigorating. From a high fashion model, to an avid outdoorsman with a fishing pole or hunting knife in hand, Jean always kept you guessing.

She leaves behind a loving family: husband Matt Reuteler; daughters Jamie Appelhof (Blake) and Jessie Bohn (Jeff); grandchildren Ayden, Oliver and Easton Appelhof; sisters Beth Hudson and Julie Sexson; and parents Dale and Jan Johnson.

Jean’s legacy will live on through the countless lives she touched with her wild yet caring spirit. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

A funeral service to honor and celebrate Jean's life will be held on Friday, June 21st, at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Edina, MN. Visitation will begin at 9:30 AM, followed by the service at 10:30 AM.

Memorials preferred in lieu of flowers. The family will make a group donation to the Children’s Hospital of Minneapolis, an organization dear to Jean’s heart.
