Eileen Minnie Topel Shindoll was born on February 6, 1932 in the Sixteen area of rural Monona, IA. She was the daughter of Herman and Selda (Timmerman) Topel. Eileen attended the rural Sixteen School as well as Monona Schools. As a young woman, she did a lot of housekeeping for many area families.
On October 24, 1964 she married Rueben Shindoll at Zion United Church of Christ in Waukon. They farmed together in rural Waukon where Eileen took care of the work around the house and yard and was also involved with choring and caring for the livestock. She continued to live on the farm until four years ago when health issues forced her to move to Northgate Care Center in Waukon.
Eileen was a member of Zion United Church of Christ and Rachel Circle. She enjoyed the outdoors and loved to go fishing on the Mississippi River. She'll be remembered as a hard worker on the farm, an immaculate housekeeper and an excellent cook.
Survivors include her husband Rueben and son Richard, both of Waukon; 5 brothers, Wilbert (Lucille) Topel of Milwaukee, WI, Alfred Topel of Harpers Ferry, IA, Donald (Deloris) and Wayne (Sharon) Topel, both of Waukon, and Gary (Jamie) Topel of Corpus Christi, TX; as well as several nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents; a sister, Darlene Keehn; and a brother, Robert Topel.
