July 4, 1935 — January 29, 2017
Beverly Jane "Bev" Griebenow, age 81, of Pine Island, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Sunday, January 29, 2017 at Pine Haven Care Center.
A memorial service is scheduled for Wednesday, February 1st at 11:00 AM at Saint Paul Lutheran Church in Pine Island, with Reverend Craig Breimhorst officiating. Visitation will be 1 hour prior to the service at the church.
Bev was born July 4, 1935 in St. Paul, MN to Orval and Lucille (nee Weiderholt) Albrecht. She grew up in Pine Island and graduated from Pine Island High School in 1953. She was married to Donald Griebenow in 1955 and they later divorced. In addition to fulfilling the many skills and tasks of a mother raising her six children she held numerous part-time jobs. These included working at the Pine Cheese Mart, Pine Island Bakery and Head Start Program. For a brief period of time she resided in Excelsior MN where she was employed at Gerard In-Home Family Services and Target.
Bev's pride and joy in life were her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her favorite past times included fishing, bowling, playing bingo, crocheting and a multitude of creative endeavors.
Bev was an avid sports fan and spent years cheering her children and grandchildren to victory. She was an active member of St Paul's Lutheran Church and a vital force in many local programs within her community. Bev was also a member of the Pine Island American Legion Auxiliary.
Throughout the many chapters of her life, Bev gathered friends from near and far, offering and receiving many kindnesses, nurturing and nourishing them through her passion for cooking and baking and willingness to lend a helping hand. Her humor and tenacity of spirit lifted many and carried her through difficult times. She was deeply loved and will be missed by all.
She is survived by her daughter Lynda Griebenow (Kathleen) of Minneapolis, Michael Griebenow (Carrie) of Lake City, Brenda Reichel (Craig) of Chatfield, Brian Griebenow (Angie) of Kokomo, IN, Bradley Griebenow of Twin Bridges, MT and Kevin Griebenow (Terry) of Pine Island; 12 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren; sisters Karen (Donald) Anderson of Pinehurst, NC and Susan (William) Catchings of Goodyear, AZ and sister-in-law Roxanne Albrecht of Excelsior, MN.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her loving and caring mother, who raised her, Evelyn (Lindeman) Albrecht; brothers, Don (D.W.) Albrecht, Bob Albrecht and Jerry Albrecht; and sister-in-law Lavonne Albrecht.
Memorials may be written to the family and will be designated at a later date to local organizations. Online condolences are welcome and may be shared at www.mahnfamilyfuneralhome.com
