Notes:

Signe Grace Eleanor Bakken Huseth, age 92, passed away on May 29 at Northfield Retirement Center.

Funeral services were at 11 a.m. Saturday, June 1, at the Vang Lutheran Church of rural Dennison, Minn., with burial at the Vang Cemetery. Visitation was from 4-7 p.m. Friday at the Bierman Funeral Home in Northfield.

Signe Grace Eleanor Bakken Huseth was born in rural Dennison on Dec. 14, 1920, to Thea (Holien) and Abraham Bakken. She was baptized and confirmed at Vang Lutheran Church, Dennison. She graduated from Kenyon High School in 1939. She was united in marriage to Olaf Huseth on Sept. 26, 1942. Together they raised three children on the family farm.

Grace was an inherently gifted artist and musician. She instilled her love of the arts in her children and her companions. Painting was her passion. She was inspired by the beauty in nature and painted many landscapes and still lifes. She loved to play the organ and the piano, and she continued to do so even into her 90s. Her music filled the rooms and hearts of many. She was a dedicated wife and mother. She prepared five meals a day every day of the year. She baked fresh bread every week, washed laundry with a wringer washer, and hung clothes on the line. And when the day's work was completed, she picked up her paint brushes and made time to tap the artist within. Grace loved to share her early memories with her family: what life was like when she was a young girl in the 1920s and '30s, walking to District 128 Schoolhouse, having family picnics in the woods with sketchpad in hand. She was able to pass along those memories up to the very end of her life so that the stories could be preserved for the next generations.

She is survived by son Ronald Huseth and wife Diana of Dennison; daughters Ann Percuoco and husband Michael of Avon, Minn., Marjorie Huseth and husband Brian Powers of Minneapolis; grandchildren Jonathan (Melissa) Huseth, Kristina (Kent) Wedeven, Jeremy Huseth, Emily Percuoco, Kate (Eduardo Cardenas) Percuoco, Nick (Lindsay) Percuoco; great-grandchildren Hailey, Rachel, Luke, and James Huseth, Quinn Wedeven, Felix Cardenas Percuoco, Benjamin Percuoco.

Signe married Olaf HUSETH on 26 Sep 1942. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
