Nancy Tyndall Lund

Nancy Tyndall Knowles Lund passed away on October 26, 2023, at the age of 79, surrounded by family.

Nancy was born in New Haven, Connecticut on June 13, 1944, the oldest daughter of Rex and Jessie Knowles. She spent her childhood years in Lincoln, Nebraska, and Danville, Kentucky, with her four siblings, Anne, Rex, Trudy, and Mark.

Nancy met her husband Larry in Greensboro, N.C. 55 years ago. According to both, it was love at first sight. They eventually settled in St. Paul where they raised their children.

Nancy is predeceased by her precious son Zachary. She is survived by her husband Herbert Lawrence (Larry); her children, Juliet Holder and her husband Daniel from Coon Rapids, MN; Jessica Leth and her husband Steve from Elk River, MN; Eric Lund and his wife Kristen from Bloomington, IN; her godson Isaiah Thomas from Los Angeles, CA; her beloved grandchildren: Joshua, Hannah, Callum, Owen, Juliana, and Emilia; her siblings; their spouses; and numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.

The most important thing to Nancy was family. Nothing made her happier than to sit with her extended family late into the night singing, telling stories, and playing games. Some of her most precious memories were at Knowles family reunions at Clearwater Forest, Minnesota and Lund family reunions out West.

Nancy devoted her life to others through nursing, teaching, and church work. Her gift was in geriatric nursing. Later in her career, she developed and implemented a curriculum to train nursing assistants.

Nancy was a dedicated member of the Macalester Plymouth United Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, the same church her father pastored in the 1970s and 80s. She served on the Fellowship Committee for years, organizing her favorite event, the All-Church Retreat.

A celebration of her life will be held at the Macalester Plymouth United Church, at 1658 Lincoln Ave, St Paul, MN 55105, on November 3, 2023, at 1:00.
