Northfield - Deborah Joan (Madson) Halgrimson Age 72 of Northfield Mn died peacefully Tues July 4th at TLCC with her loving family at her side.

Deborah Passed away after a lifelong battle with Heart Disease.

Deb was born April 20th 1951 to Harold and Ida (Henry) Madson, who Dairy farmed in the Union Lake area of Lonsdale MN. She was a 1970 Graduate of Northfield High School.

Deb worked at Sheldahl in Northfield for 32 years, where she treasured her many friends and memories that carried on, long after her early retirement.

Deb married Gary Rasmussen in 1969 at St Peters Church in Northfield . They lived and raised their 2 children in Northfield.

As life's paths unfolded, they eventually chose separate roads to follow and discover what more, life had in store for them.

In 1987 she married Kenneth Halgrimson and they resided in Cannon Falls while also "snow birding" down south for a few seasons. Following their separation in 2017, she moved to Plum City Wisconsin to be near her children and their family. When they moved back to Northfield; she was also able to return, to be near her sisters, family and old friends once again.

Deb bravely battled heart issues for most of her life. Having a big heart was her super power, but also her villain many times.

She was welcomed into heaven on Independence Day with what we believe was an incredible celebration of freedom, reunion with family members and most of all, a loving reception from Jesus, who has restored her to a healthy and abundant life.

A celebration of life will be held on Friday July 21st, 2023 at Trondhjem Church in Lonsdale Mn at 2:00 pm. Visitation will be held 1 hr prior and a light luncheon will be served following.
