Richard Strandlund Obituary
Richard Strandlund, 91, of Conway, Arkansas, went to be with the Lord, Sept. 4, 2023. He was born April 21, 1932, in Hurley, South Dakota, to the late Christian Nelson Strandlund and Opal C. Jernigan. The family moved from South Dakota to make their new home in Perry, Arkansas, where Richard finished school at Perry High School. Richard worked many years as production coordinator at Virco Manufacturing in Conway and retired with 29 years from the U.S. Army National Guard. Richard enjoyed spending time with his family, especially his two granddaughters. Richard was active at his church, Central Baptist, where he volunteered to drive the church bus until his health and age no longer allowed him to do so. Richard was preceded in death by his parents; daughter, Cindy Strandlund; sisters, Iris Johnson and Beverly Dixon; and brother, Christian Newton Strandlund.
Richard is survived by his wife, Mable Strandlund; son, Brian Strandlund (Holley Shettles); granddaughters, Heather Riddle (Jonathon) and Sarah Britton (Jordan); a great-grandson, Carter Riddle; and several nieces and nephews.
Visitation will be held at Roller-McNutt Funeral Home on Sunday, Sept. 10, 2023, from 6-8 p.m., with graveside service officiated by Central Baptist Senior Pastor Don Chandler on Monday, Sept. 11, 2023, at 10 a.m. at Crestlawn Memorial Park in Conway.
The Strandlund family would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the staff at StoneBridge Senior Living, Conway, for the love and care they provided for Richard. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Renewal Ranch, 72 Lake Drive, Houston, Arkansas, 72070.

I worked with richard at virco for 3 years but grew up knowing him and his family at central baptist church on lee street. He was always laughing or telling funny stories. Everyone in Conway knew richard. Did not know he passed. Sympathy to the family. Peace to all.
