Kristine Alicia Luchsinger

Kristine A. Luchsinger, 46 of Minneapolis, Minnesota passed away Wednesday, August 7, 2013 at her residence.

Kristine was born July 19, 1967 in St. Paul, Minnesota.  The daughter of Mary Ann (Solomonson) and Thomas Albert Bever.  She is survived by her Son Bryan Kedrowski of Oakdale, MN, one Brother, Adam (Julie) Bever of Balsam Lake, WI, 2 nephews & 1 niece; Scotty, Kiera and Laif, Uncle Jim (Karen) Bever of Forest Lake, MN and her loving companion Daniel Bilden of Minneapolis, MN.  Also survived by other relatives and many friends.  She is preceded in death by her parents.

Kris loved life, family, friends, people in general and animals.  She has been through a lot and hardly ever complained.  And if she did you knew it was bad.  One of her happiest days was riding up to Wisconsin with Uncle Jim in the old Ford (with everybody looking at them) to watch Adam and Julie adopt their children.  She would talk about that every time she could, with a big smile.  There are only a few things Kris did not like – being in the hospital, mushrooms and the Packers!  She had a new found passion-cooking.  She was very happy slicing and dicing with something sizzling in the frying pan.  Dan was happy too.  As sick as she was last Monday, Dan took the day off to be with her.  Dan was putzing in the kitchen, Kris asked him to get out of the kitchen, Dan asked why? Kris said because I have my morning chores to do.  She made coffee, breakfast and watered her plants.

A Memorial Service for Kristine will be Saturday, August 10, 2013 at North Valley Lutheran Church in Milltown at 11:00 A.M.  Family and friends will greet guests one hour prior to the Service.  Pastor Maggie Isaacson will officiate.  Interment will be private.   The family would like to invite their guests to join them for fellowship and lunch following the Service.
