Margaret "Margie" Rendulich

Margaret (Margie) Jane Rendulich, 66, of Thief River Falls, Minnesota, passed away peacefully on Sunday, August 17, 2025, at the Villa in Crookston, MN, with her loving family by her side.

Born on December 21, 1958 in Thief River Falls, MN, Margie was the beloved daughter of Norman and Eunice (Hjelle) Sorenson. Margie was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith, which remained a guiding light throughout her life. She attended and graduated from Bemidji High School in 1976.

Margie was united in marriage at Faith Lutheran Church in Thief River Falls to Robert "Bob" Rendulich on February 21, 1976. To this union, five children were born, Lisa, Traci, Kristen, Angie, and Eric.

Margie attended Northland Community College and earned an Associate of Applied Science in Accounting in 1991. She worked alongside her husband with their trucking business, Rendulich Trucking. She also enjoyed driving the semi-truck around the country.

Margie had a quiet strength and a generous heart. She found joy in simple pleasures, whether it was spending time with her grandchildren, scrapbooking, sewing, playing bingo, tending to her home, or sharing stories with loved ones. Her warmth and wisdom will be deeply missed.

Margie and Bob enjoyed taking motorcycle trips around the country together, visiting friends and family. One of their favorite places to visit was Hawaii where they renewed their vows.

A devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, Margaret's life was centered around her family. She is survived by her children: Lisa (Brian) Bruns, Traci (Nathan) Leitheiser, Kristen (Austin Mathisen) Rendulich, Angela (Mike) Vidmar, and Eric Rendulich; her siblings, Mary (Rob) Madden and David (Christy) Sorenson; and her cherished grandchildren: Alex, Taylor, Ethan, Elijah, Gracie, Keagan, Ian, Madison, Gunner, Easton, Alissa, Avalene, and Kinsley; and many other friends and family.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Rendulich; her parents, Norman and Eunice Sorenson; her brother, John Sorenson; and other family members.

A celebration of life for Margie will be held at 5:00 PM on Friday, September 12, 2025 with Reverend Kristin Ostercamp officiating. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service. Dinner and fellowship to follow the service in the church basement.
