Jeannette Kay Kloberdanz

September 15, 1938 - June 28, 2024

CROSSLAKE -

Jeannette Kay Kloberdanz, 85, of Crosslake, MN formerly of Mason City, IA died June 28, 2024 at Whitefish At The Lakes Senior Living.

Funeral services will be held August 17, 2024, at 12:00 PM, at Wesley United Methodist Church, 1405 South Pennsylvania, Mason City, Iowa, with Pastor Nadine Nkulu officiating. Interment will be in Memorial Park Cemetery, Mason City. Visitation will be held from 10:00 AM to Noon prior to the service at Wesley United Methodist Church.

Jeannette was born Jeannette Kay Fisher on September 15, 1938, in Mason City, Iowa, the daughter of Ervin and Ruth Fisher. She graduated from Mason City High School in 1956. It was there she met her high school sweetheart, William Kloberdanz. She married William "Bill" Kloberdanz on September 14, 1956, in Bellville, Illinois. From this union four children were born: Kevin Scott, Kelly Kay, Kirk William, and Kathy Ann.

Jeannette loved all kinds of music genre, especially country, and could often be heard singing along with her beautiful voice. She and Bill enjoyed dancing, camping at Madison Lake and watching Iowa Hawkeye basketball. Her greatest joy was her family and she enjoyed all the time she was able to spend with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and extended family. After her husband Bill's death in 2003, Jeannette spent a few years traveling with her friend, Jim Stilwell before moving to Port Charlotte, Florida as a snowbird for 5 years before returning to the Midwest due to health concerns.

Jeannette worked for Sears Roebuck and Co. and for many years at Decker's Meat Packing Plant and later for ConAgra Foods in Mason City. She also worked at Sam Raizes Department store and later as a paraprofessional for Mason City Schools and worked for Cashwise foods before retiring.

Jeannette was a lifelong member of Wesley United Methodist Church in Mason City.

She will be sadly missed by her children, her two sons, Kevin Kloberdanz of Osh Kosh, Wisconsin and Kirk Kloberdanz of Mason City, her two daughters, Kathy Scheuss and her husband, Brian Scheuss of Crosslake, Minnesota, and Kelly Kloberdanz of Mason City, eleven grandchildren: Matthew (Angie) Kloberdanz, Jennifer Hanson, Robbie Rick, Nichole Kloberdanz, Tyler (Machaela) Kloberdanz, Brandon Rick, Ryan Honken, Michael Scheuss, Kade Kloberdanz, Samuel (Janey) Scheuss, and Kyle Kloberdanz, and great grandchildren: Cadyn and Caster Hanson, Ethan and Elijah Rick, Makayla Woida, Melah and Blakely Kloberdanz, Nicoh and Ahni DeRoos, and Dax and Nolan Kloberdanz. Jeannette is also survived by her brother Darrell Fisher, her father-in-law, Karl Walters, many nieces and nephews and numerous cousins.

She was preceded in death by her husband, William Kloberdanz, her parents, Ervin and Ruth Fisher, her mother-in-law, Bonnie Walters, sister and brother-in-law, Marilyn and Michael Scoville and their son, Michael Scoville Jr., her sister-in-laws, Susan Fisher and Erma (Dolly) Cottrell, and brother-in-law, Wallace Kloberdanz.
