Paulette was born in Tracy, MN, on October 18, 1950, the daughter of Donald and Irma (Miller) Christenson. She was married to Charles "Charlie" Pederson, and she was a daycare provider.
She worked for FSI and CVN before she started daycare in her home for several years. After she retired, she and her husband Chuck moved to Apache Junction, AZ, and lived in a community where they made a lot of friends and enjoyed a lot of activities. Chuck and she had 10 wonderful years there. After her husband passed away in 2024 she moved back to be near family.
Paulette is survived by sons, Jay and (Leslie) of Annandale, Jon (Jody) of Otsego; grandchildren, Kayla, Jacob, Amanda, Kaden and Emeric; sisters, Gail of Shakopee, Teresa (Stan) of Dassel; nephews, Blake and Derek. She was preceded in death by her husband, Chuck; daughter, Stacey; brother Al; and her parents, Donald and Irma.
A private family interment will be held at Fort Snelling National Cemetery where she will be laid to rest with her loving husband. In honoring Paulette's wishes, there will not be a celebration of life. Mom will be missed by all.
