Obituary for Madelyn "Anna" Kniebel

Madelyn "Anna" Kniebel slipped her earthly bonds on October 22, 2021 and joined the angel band. A lifelong learner, champion of the pursuit of education, supporter of the arts, and a faithful Catholic, she lived a life of selfless service to her family, friends, and colleagues. Beloved wife, sister, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, aunt, cousin, college instructor, career counselor, and eternal optimist—her tenacious positivity and encouragement never diminished no matter the challenge. She radiated love, support, and acceptance of others. She will be profoundly missed.

Thank you for teaching us to love, laugh, dream big, take life one step at a time, believe in ourselves, help others, and never, ever, quit. We love you more than all the stars in the sky and will see you again on the other side.

A celebration of her life will be held at St. Gerard's Catholic Church, 9600 Regent Ave N., Brooklyn Park on Saturday, October 30, 2021 at 11am with visitation one hour prior to the service.
