LeAnn Marie Nordskog
(December 10, 1949 - May 7, 2012)LELAND - LeAnn M. Nordskog, age 62 of Leland, died Monday, May 7, 2012, at her home in Leland.
LeAnn Marie (Johnson) Nordskog was born December 10, 1949, to John and Luella (Sperring) Johnson. On January 10, 1950, she was baptized at the Winnebago Lutheran Church. After completing the first three years of her elementary education at the Scarville School, she transferred to the Forest City Schools for the remaining grades. In her youth, she enjoyed horseback riding and camping. She belonged to the 4-H and Home Economics Clubs and loved pretty much any outdoor activity. She did a lot of babysitting for her nieces and nephews as well as for various other families.
In 1965, she married and had two children, a son, Chad, and a daughter, Kristi. She later divorced. In time, her grandchildren became the light of her life. She had five, three boys and two girls: Ben, Sarah, Colton, Carlie, and Isaac. Ben would say “Grandma, you’re my buddy”. Sarah would say “Hey, Granny. What you doing?” Colton would always tell her “to do fish lips” while she was rocking him. Carlie always wanted her hair fixed by grandma, and Isaac would have her tell him as many “tories” as he could get her to tell at bedtime. She loved her family more than life itself.
LeAnn is survived by her children, Chad (Jodi) Nordskog; Kristi (Todd) Knutson; five grandchildren, Ben, Sarah, Colton, Carlie and Isaac; two sisters, Helen Throntveit, of Webster City, and Donna Anderson, of Thompson; two brothers, Richard, of Mason City, and Paul Halverson, of Garner. She was preceded in death by her parents; two brothers, Donald and John; a sister, Lois; three nephews, Larry, Dean, and Todd Michael; and several aunts and uncles.
A Memorial/Visitation will be held from 4:00 to 7:00 PM on Thursday, May 10, 2012, at the Petersen Lund Funeral Home, 505 North Clark Street, Forest City, Iowa. Burial will be at a later date at the Vinjie Cemetery in Vinjie, Iowa.
In lieu of flowers, the family directs memorials to the Leann Nordskog Memorial Fund which will be donated to charity.Copyright © 2012, Petersen Lund Funeral Home
