And so it is, one of Those Lutheran Ladies has gone to reunite with her Music Man. This is Most Certainly True.
Suzann Bendetta (Johnson) Nelson passed away suddenly March 14, 2021 at the age of 74 in Grand Rapids, Minn.
Suzann was born in Alexandria, Minn. on October 31 (of course!), 1946, to the most amazing parentsâTheodore and Bendetta Johnson. She, along with her older brothers Deloyd and Arlynn, were raised as solid, hard-working farm kids in rural Evansville. Suzann later âmoved to town, thenâ to become a graduate of Evansville High School in 1964.
Suzann next ventured out to The Cities as a Scandinavian Studies Major at Augsburg College. While there, she met one of the best, Ronald Nelson, who undoubtedly wooed her with his versatile voice, guitar skills, and wavy red hair. In March 1967 the two were united in marriage, only three months after feisty and tenacious Suzann proposed to Ron in order to liven up a âboring New Yearâs Eveâ party. The rest is history. They were the loves of each othersâ lives.
