Mary Jahoda Mortenson
May 18, 1938 — January 24, 2007
Mary passed away peacefully in her daughter's home on January 24, 2007, in the arms of her children and her loving husband, David Mortenson, after a valiant battle with colon cancer. Mary was born in North Platte, NE, on May 18, 1938 and was raised in Battle Lake, MN.
Mary is survived by her mother, Bernice Merten, Battle Lake; a brother, Dan (Kathy) Merten, Crookston, MN; her adoring husband, David; her children, Susanna (Ken) Neuharth, Inver Grove Heights, MN, John (Cheryl) Jahoda and their children, Nicole and Zachary, Ramsey, MN, Rebecca (Robert) Thelen and their children, Joseph and Francis, St. Louis Park, MN, and Theresa (David) Hanson, Duluth, MN, and their children, Jessica (Mike) Gerberding, Erin, Laura, Danielle and Kenneth. Mary is also survived by David's children, Andrea Mortenson, Scottsdale, AZ, Brett (Kate) Mortenson and son, Grant, Minneapolis, MN, and Nate (Heather) Mortenson, Minneapolis. Mary was preceded in death by her husband of 38 years, John Jahoda; and father, Charles Merten.
Mary enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. Many memories have been made at the lake where she grew up on the resort owned by her parents. Mary had a great appreciation for the outdoors and wildlife. Some of Mary's hobbies included painting, flower designing, cooking, and gardening. Mary had a heart full of love and served her church and community with various volunteer activities. One of Mary's greatest attributes was her ability to give sacrificially to her family and be thoughtful of others. Mary was a dedicated wonderful mother, grandmother and faithful loving wife.
We all love her and will miss her very much.
