Lillian Louise Wiederholt Struck, formerly of Grantsburg, passed away on December 17, 2014 at the Golden Living Center, Fresno, CA after a long struggle with Alzheimer’s.
She was born in Grantsburg on October 22, 1922, the third daughter of John (Jack) and Edith (Olson) Wiederholt.
Lillian married Lyle Struck at the Pine City, Minnesota, Courthouse on April 6, 1946. The newlyweds moved to Minneapolis where Lyle worked for E.B. Crabtree Company as a delivery driver and Lillian worked at Kickernick Lingerie sewing ladies lingerie. She was very proud of being chosen to sew lingerie for Hollywood movies.
In 1952, Lillian and Lyle and their oldest child, two-year-old Jill, moved to the Larsen homestead on Highway 70 east of Grantsburg. In 1953, while pregnant with her second child, Lillian was stricken with polio and spent many weeks in Miller Hospital and Sister Kenny Institute in Minneapolis recovering from the horrific disease. After several months of worrying, their son, Richard, was born with no ill effects of the polio.
Lillian worked at a variety of jobs while living in Grantsburg, including Crocker Drug, housekeeping for Dr. and Mrs. Bunker, working as a switchboard operator for Farmers Independent Telephone Company, working at McNally’s, and nursing assistant care to the elderly in the nursing home in the old Grantsburg Hospital.
She and Lyle moved to Ahwahnee, California in 1971 where they built a new home. After Lyle’s death in 1990, Lillian continued to reside in her home with her son, Richard, and his family until it became necessary for her to move a full-time nursing facility April 2013.
Lillian is survived by her brother, Donald (Darlene) Wiederholt, Milltown; daughter, Jill (Gary) Jacobsen, Fresno, CA; son, Richard (Gaytha) Struck, Oakhurst, CA; grandchildren, Erika (Kim) Hultquist, Fresno, CA; Kellie (Gentry) Strickland, McKinney, TX; Jamie Struck and Robbie Butler, Oakhurst, CA; great grandchildren, Jordyn Howard; Jillian and Zane Hultquist; Nickole and Bradley Barrows; Neil and Joshua Struck; Nicholas Espinosa; and Ezekiel Butler.
She is also survived by great-great grandson, Dylan Mello; brother-in-law, Donald (Phyllis) Struck, Pierce, Colorado; former sister-in-law, Joani Benson, Clovis, CA; many nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews.
Lillian was preceded in death by Lyle, her husband of 44 years; Father, Mother, sister Alice at age six; sister, Doris Martin; and granddaughter, Tracy Jill, at birth.
