Mina E. Knudson

Mina E. Knudson, 75, of 3810 Cliff St., Wisconsin Rapids, a loving mother, went to be with the Lord at home after a long, courageous battle with cancer.

A tribute and celebration of her life will be held 11 a.m. Wednesday at First English Lutheran Church in Wisconsin Rapids. The Rev. Kenneth Hanson will officiate. Burial will be in Merrill Memorial Park Cemetery, where she will rejoin her loving husband.

Mina was a graduate of Merrill High School and lived the last 45 years of her life in Wisconsin Rapids, raising her two children, Nick and Robin. She was a bookkeeper for Neipps Hardware for many years and was a devoted mother, grandmother and housewife. She was an avid cook, camper and gardener. She also loved raising tropical fish.

She is survived by her children, Nickoli "Nick" of Wisconsin Rapids and Robin (Robert) Bentil of Milwaukee; grandchildren, Lonnie, Robert II, Robin, Wesley, Naomi, Jasoene, Benjamin, Joshua, John-Jeremiah and Matthew-Johnathan; her great-granddaughter, Hailey; and her half-brother, Walter Fechtner of California.
