Glenn Allen Homandberg, age 83, died unexpectedly Saturday, June 15, 2019 at his home. Funeral services will begin at 10:00 a.m. Wednesday, June 19 at Canton Lutheran Church. Visitation will be Tuesday from 2-7 p.m., family present 5-7 p.m., at Anderson Funeral Home in Canton.
Glenn was born on March 28, 1936 to Arne and Agnes (Laugen) Homandberg. He graduated from Canton High School in 1954. He married Evelyn McKenney on May 24, 1960 at Canton Lutheran Church. The couple farmed and raised livestock outside of Beloit, IA until 1995 when they moved and began farming east of Leota, MN. After semi-retiring, he moved to Lismore, MN. Glenn enjoyed collecting tractors and toys, playing cards, visiting, and after his wife, Evelyn, passed away in 2003, he took over her card writing job to pen pals and family. Family was very important to Glenn. He loved attending his grandchildren’s events and never missed a family reunion. He will be remembered as being a kind man who always put family first.
Glenn is survived by his children, Marsha (Alan) Kumlien, Canton, SD and Mike (Esther) Homandberg, Slayton, MN; grandchildren: LeAnna Homandberg, Kara (Dylan) Von Holtum, Lydia Homandberg, and Audra Homandberg, Amanda Kumlien, Craig Kumlien, Joseph Kumlien (Caiti Sehr), Austin Kumlien, Katee Kumlien, Adam Mc Manus; great-grandchildren: Bo Kumlien, Lane Kumlien, and Travis Kumlien; special friend, Karen Buus; dog, Seta; along with many extended family and friends. He was preceded in death by his wife, Evelyn; an infant son; his parents; brother and sister-in-law, Alvin (Darleen) Homandberg; sisters and brothers-in-law, Ruth (Carl) Stokke and Gladys (Wilbur) Johnson.
Our sympathy to Glenn’s family. Glenn was my Mom’s neighbor (Joyce) in Lismore.
We visited with him different times when we were at my Mom’s
place. Thinking of everyone in the days ahead.
Sorry for your loss.
We are sorry for your loss. Hold your memories close and each other closer. Sending lots of prayers.
Please accept my condolences for the loss of your father. May the God of all comfort be with the family during this difficult time. (2 Corinthians 1:3)
So sorry to hear of Glenn’s passing. I’m glad we had some opportunities to get acquainted with Glenn at my sister Karen’s house. He & my husband used to like sharing Ole & Lena jokes. It was always a pleasure to spend time with him.
I am so sorry for your loss, Marsha.
Thanks, Charlotte, I appreciate it. Marsha
I am the daughter of Joyce Erdman, Glens neighbor in Lismore…so sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. I would talk to Glen when visiting my Mom if he was outside or if we were sitting outside. He was a good guy and mom enjoyed him as a neighbor, he would help her out if she needed which was very appreciated. Sending prayers to the whole family for comfort at this time.
