Clara Jean Dahlgren

April 30, 1928 - February 24, 2022

Clara “Jean” (Edlund) Dahlgren, age 93, died February 24, 2022 at Meadow Woods in Bloomington. Jean was born April 30, 1928 in Dassel, Minnesota. She was preceded in death by her husband Lowell Dahlgren in 1997; her parents, Oscar and Evangeline (Peterson) Edlund; and sisters, Donnis Breid and Carol Edlund. She is survived by her children, Steven (Judi) Dahlgren of Bloomington; Dianne Tydings (Dave) of Anchorage, Alaska; and Barbara Dahlgren Wihnan (Joe) of Kamloops, British Columbia; grandchildren Jamie Glover (Matt); Kristin Olson (Brent); Laurie Bohn (Steve); Emily Johnson; Nathan Owen; and Greg Tydings; eight great-grandchildren, and a great-great-grandchild due in June. She is also survived by dear friends Henning and Elsa Freiesleben of Fargo, ND. Jean married Lowell Dahlgren in 1946 at the Evangelical Covenant Church in Dassel. They were married for 51 years, raising their children and making homes in Minnesota, North Dakota, Iowa and Florida. Jean was employed as a secretary in the insurance industry until purchasing and operating the Carriage House Ethan Allen Gallery in Waterloo, Iowa with her husband. Jean cherished time spent with family and friends. Always a gracious hostess, she loved to bake and was known for her fresh peach pie--the family favorite. She maintained an active lifestyle and was affectionately dubbed “the energizer bunny.” Jean loved visiting her children in Alaska and took part in adventures like riding on float planes, four wheelers and snowmobiles into her late eighties. She enjoyed playing games, especially Quiddler and Scrabble, and was a crossword whiz. Her Christian faith centered her life and she was always active in her church. Her family will remember always her love, elegance, warmth, and vibrant spirit. Services are planned for late spring. Arrangements by Johnson Funeral Home, Dassel, MN.
