Eagan, Minnesota
Sullwold, Beverly Ann "Bev" (Bielke) age 67, died unexpectedly at her home in Eagan, MN on July 14th, 2013. Bev was born on December 10, 1945 in Minneapolis, MN. Bev thoroughly enjoyed trying new things (she often said "I will try anything once"), was full of energy, had a strong spirit and was not afraid to speak her mind. She lived to do fun things with her 4 granddaughters, and was often seen watching their various activities. She was especially fond of the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum and would take the kids there multiple times per year. She was an active member of the Eagan and Apple Valley senior centers. She recently celebrated her 40th wedding anniversary with Larry Sullwold on March 3. Bev is survived by her husband Larry, her sister Sharon (Archie) Sybrandt, her brother Donald "Butch" (Sue) Bielke, son Darin (Lissa) Sullwold, daughter Jodi (Damon) Schuler and 4 granddaughters Maddie (14), Kayla (13), Alexis (6), and Avery (3) as well as many nieces, nephews and other close friends. Her mother and stepfather, Elizabeth and Floyd Stein, paternal grandparents Robert and Erna Bielke and maternal grandparents Jacob and Dorthea Zeier, preceded her in death. The memorial will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, July 18 at Christ Lutheran Church located at 1930 Diffley Road, Eagan, MN 55122. There will be a visitation one hour prior to the service. A reception will follow the service. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Bev's honor.

It was always good to visit with Bev when we lived next door at Lake Minnebelle, and even when we moved, she would include us on the yearly gathering of neighbors . Good memories.
