Linda Wiens

Linda Feil Wiens died peacefully Friday, July 1, 2016 at the Good Samaritan Village, Mt. Lake, MN. Her family was with her at the time of her passing from this life into the presence of Jesus. Linda was born to Heinrich and Eva Elizabeth Feil on September 3, 1911 in Mt. Lake, MN, the youngest of nine children. She was raised and nurtured in a Christian home. During her teen years she accepted Jesus as her Savior and was baptized in August of 1930 upon confession of her faith in Christ. She became a member of the Mt.Lake Mennonite Brethren Church (now Community Bible Church) where she faithfully retained her membership the rest of her life. On June 6,1937 Linda was married to Menno Wiens at the Carson Mennonite Brethren Church. Four children were born to this union - Melva, Gary, Gail, and Timothy. Melva married David Brandt, Gail married Bruce Vanderberg, and Tim married Carolyn Frary. Linda has four grandsons - David and Stephen Brandt, and Bret and Kerry Vanderberg. There are five great grandchildren - Alexandra and Daniel Brandt; and Jonah, Samuel, and Benjamin Brandt. Linda was pre-deceased by her husband, Menno; parents Heinrich and Eva Feil; brothers Adam, Jacob, John, and Henry; sisters Mollie, Katie, Elizabeth, and Martha. Church was an important part of Linda's life. For a number of years she taught a teenage girls Sunday School class and one of her visible expressions of love for the church was the sanctuary flowers she provided from her garden. Menno and Linda's retirement home was deliberately built across the street from the church. They regularly provided hospitality for guest speakers and other visitors to the church, and provided a set of "eyes" to watch the church facilities. Linda was a "people person." She enjoyed entertaining in her home. A favorite activity was to attend the meetings of the county extension group each month. Her garden was a great joy for her. Her flowers were gorgeous and showed up in her home all summer. She grew vegetables, but her real interest was the flowers. At the top of her list of interests was her family. She loved to cook for us all and to provide a home that was beautiful and clean. The family wishes any memorials given to the memory of Linda Feil Wiens be given to The Good Samaritan Society of Mt. Lake, MN in acknowledgment of their loving care to Linda during her last years.
