Lynn Mader, 72, Bismarck, passed away on Feb. 9, 2017, at CHI St. Alexius Hospital, following a lengthy, valiant battle with pancreatic cancer, surrounded by his family. A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 14, at 11 a.m., at Bismarck Funeral Home with Deacon Terry Glatt officiating. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service. Burial will be held at a later date at St. Mary's Cemetery.
Lynn was born on May 27, 1944 to Joseph and Marion (Jacobsen) Mader in Santa Clarita, Calif. He married Julie Gullekson on March 7, 2000, at Gretna Green, Scotland.
