Annette B. Klatt

Annette Klatt, age 85, passed away peacefully in her home on Sunday, August 14, 2016, surrounded by her loving family.
Annette was born in Raymond, WA on May 26, 1931, the eldest of three girls.
She married Edwin, a Marine, in 1948, and moved to MN. There, they bought a farm along the Rum River, where they lived, toiled and thrived raising their four children, Susan, Linda, Edwin and Brad. Always good stewards of the land, they planted thousands of trees, including Christmas trees that helped to fund their children’s and grandchildren’s education.
Annette was a full time mother until her youngest child began school. She retired, after 26 years as Quality Control Inspector/Foreman for Control Data, in 1989.
She found the time she needed to enjoy hobbies such as crocheting and knitting. This included doilies, tablecloths and afghans, as well as prayer shawls and baby hats. Many of these treasures were donated to families in need. Because she loved to cook and bake with a pinch of love, every meal was special around her table.
Family was the world to her. She was the anchor and compass in our lives so that we always knew right from wrong. Her faith and positive attitude kept us from giving up or getting lost.
Those left now to carry on her legacy of love and service to others includes: her sister, Carol Carnahan, daughters Susan Willson and Linda (Don) Neal, sons Edwin (Bobbi) and Brad (Chris) Klatt, grandchildren Derek (Carol) Willson, Dayna Willson, Graham Neal, Thea (Dan) Nealschneider, Rylan Klatt, Kendal (Jim) Langer, Eli Klatt, Noah Klatt, dear friend Joan Stock, faithful dog Missy and many other loving family and friends.
She is preceded in death by her loving husband Edwin L. Klatt, parents Ruth and Neal Niemi and sister Barbara Layton.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt appreciation to her wonderful doctor, Dr. John Ruddy, and all of the Allina hospice team, especially Sandy and Cindy. Their care, along with her children, allowed Annette to complete her life’s journey at home. In lieu of gift or flowers, the family requests contributions to the Senior Activity Center in Cambridge, Allina Health Hospice Foundation, or Sharing and Caring Hands. A private graveside service has been held. Annette’s full obituary for may be found at www.carlsonlillemoen.com
