Dr. Quenten D. Sundberg
October 3, 1931 - March 31, 2015

Dr. Quenten Deane Sundberg, age 83, of Linn Grove, Iowa, died on March 31, 2015, in Linn Grove.

Quenten Sundberg, a son of Nels and Edna (Johnson) Sundberg, was born on October 3, 1931, on a farm in Barnes Township near Linn Grove. Baptized and confirmed at the Riverside Presbyterian Church in Linn Grove, he attended school at the Linn Grove Consolidated School, graduating in 1949. He, then, continued his education at Iowa State University where he earned a doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. He was also a member of the ACACIA Fraternity. Quenten, known by many as “Doc”, proudly served his country as a First Lieutenant in the United Starts Army Veterinary Corp. He was honorably discharged on December 31, 1957.

While living in Ames, Iowa, Doc married Mary Wilken. They, subsequently, had three children: Susan, Steven, and David, before Mary passed away in 1958. On August 7, 1960, Doc married Joyce Sexton. They were blessed with one daughter, Jolene.

An active member of the Trinity Lutheran Church in Linn Grove, Doc spent his life working as a veterinarian. In addition, he remained a member of the Iowa State Veterinary Association.

In his spare time, Doc loved to spend time out on the farm. He, also, enjoyed bowling, golfing, and refinishing furniture. Most of all, however, Doc loved spending time with his family and friends. Remembered as a hardworking and devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend to many, he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Those left to cherish his memory include his wife, Joyce Sundberg, of Linn Grove, Iowa; his children: Susan (Ryan) Moses, of California, and Jolene (Mark) Ranard, of Iowa City, Iowa; his daughters-in-law: Patti Sundberg, of Denver, Colorado, and Nancy Sundberg, of Ames, Iowa; his grandchildren: Erin and Robin Sundberg-Moses, Joseph and Rachel Ranard; and Hanna, Kaylee, Michael, and Riley Sundberg; and his brother, Gordon (Marjorie) Sundberg, of Eagle Grove, Iowa; as well as many cousins and extended family members and friends.

Doc was preceded in death by his parents; first wife, Mary; two sons, Steven and David; and an infant brother, Loren Sundberg.

Funeral services will be held Saturday, April 4, 2015, at 1:00 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church in Linn Grove. Burial will follow in the Barnes Township Cemetery in Linn Grove. Visitation will take place Friday, April 3, 2015, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Fratzke & Jensen Funeral Home in Storm Lake. Memorials may be directed to the Trinity Lutheran Church in Linn Grove.
