Obituary of Viola Hellen Wikgren Shea

Viola Hellen Wikgren Shea, Age 101 of Richfield, MN

Loving mother of nine children. After celebrating her birthday at a great party with her family and close friends, Vi passed away July 25, 2022. While those of us who remain are heart-broken we know that Vi is in heaven celebrating with those who predeceased her, especially her husband Jim and daughter Susan.

She is survived by her children Brigid Peterson, Michael (Karen) Shea, Deborah (Bob) Abendroth, Peggy (Marc) Watt, Patrick (Sandi) Shea, Teresa (Jim) Fisher, Kate (David Sausen) Shea, Maureen (Kurt Wilkowske) Shea and “adopted” daughter Nadine Gunderson. Grandchildren Kirstin (Vic) Stuhr, Jenny Shea (Luke Boyd), Tim (Nicole) Shea, Peter Peterson, Lauren Shea, Colleen (Steve) Savstrom, Maddy Fisher, Jack, Ellen & Thomas Watt, and Nick Wilkowske. Great-Grandchildren Jackson, Cooper & Lucy Stuhr, Peter William & James Peterson, Eleanor, Beatrice & Dorothy Shea, and Ellie Boyd.

A celebration of life to be held at a later date.
