Langfeldt, Laurie (? – 15 FEB 2020)

Laurie (Voigt) Langfeldt lost her battle with her recently diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cancer on Saturday, Feb. 15, 2020, at home with her family. A memorial gathering will be held from 5-7 p.m., on Friday, Feb. 28, at Cremation Society of Minnesota, 7835 Brooklyn Blvd., Brooklyn Park, Minn.

Her creativity and passion for quilting, crafting and cooking will certainly be missed. She adored her nieces and nephews as well as any child. She loved creating special hand-crafted gifts for all. She also loved to use her skills to provide donations to her cabin church, St. Francis of Assisi. She was married to Jeff Langfeldt, her high school sweetheart, on June 10, 1978, in Loyal. They were together almost 47 years. They both loved the cabin all of those years. She spent the last five summers there enjoying her retirement at their “happy place.” They were blessed with one son, Alex, 32 years ago. She had been a 12-year survivor of breast cancer. Laurie spent her working career around food. She managed food service in health care, Cargill’s executive office and developed the presentation center at Cargill.

Laurie is survived by her husband, Jeff, and son, Alex, of Plymouth, Minn.; her mother, Kathy Voigt of Wausau; her sisters: Cindy (Ed) Jakubiec of Lehigh Acres, Fla., Jean (Mike) Voigt-Zenner of Wausau and JoAnn (Mark) McNeely of Prairie du Sac; and many nieces and nephews who she adored. She was preceded in death by her father, Jim Voigt; a niece, Erin McNeely; and her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Robert and Darlene Langfeldt.
