Adeline died on Monday, Dec. 16, 2013, at the age of 101.

Adeline was a strong and independent person and lived in her own home until a few short weeks ago when she entered Thorne Crest Retirement Community.

She was born on Feb. 28, 1912, in Waseca. She was one of eight children born to Herman and Marie (Wilken) Klinger. Her family lived on a farm in rural Waseca. Her mother, Marie, died when she was six, and her older sister, Clara, with the help of other relatives, kept the family together.

She was united in marriage to Severt R. Enderson on July 12, 1936, and they made their home in Albert Lea.

She was the neighborhood “haircutter and stylist” and even after they moved away, many came back to Adeline for her special treatment.

She was a faithful member of Salem Lutheran Church. She especially enjoyed church circle activities.

Adeline and Severt enjoyed camping and traveling on short trips, especially after retirement.

In her earlier years, she did a lot of handiwork, but her failing eyesight later made it difficult.

Many will remember the soft spot Adeline had for animals, she always seemed to have a stray she was tending to with lots of tender loving care.

Adeline is survived by her children JoAnn and her husband Richard Maas of Pequot Lakes, and Larry and his wife Cindy Enderson of Albert Lea; grandchildren Kelli and her husband, Dr. Frank Mork III, of Victoria, Brett Maas and his wife Brenda of Billings, Mont., Jay Enderson and his wife Cheryl of Albert Lea and Tina Jensen of Rochester; great-grandchildren Kayla, Frankie and Maddie Mork, Connor, Cameron and Callum Maas, Josh, Alex and Logan Enderson and Sami Jensen; special children Erik Ojala and Jennifer and her husband Greg Woods and their children Ellie and Thomas all of Texas; and many nieces, nephews and other relatives.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Severt, her siblings Clara Barbknecht, Alma Wenzel, Martha Coyle, Mary Francis and Fred, Bill and Arthur Klinger.

Blessed be her memory!
