Zelda Mae (Howe) Andresen, 94, formerly of Atkins, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 25, 2020 at the Keystone Nursing Care Center.
A private funeral service will be held at the Keystone Cemetery.
Zelda was born April 9, 1926 on the family farm near Dysart, to Everett and Alma (Stahr) Howe. She graduated from Elberon High School, class of 1944.
and on May 19, 1945 she married Calvin S. Andresen at Zion Lutheran Church in Dysart. Together they farmed in Benton County for many years.
Zelda worked at Amana Refrigeration (Whirlpool Corporation) for 26 years, retiring in 1988.
Zelda was an accomplished shopper; we can still hear her saying “It was on sale!”
She loved listening to country music, collecting cardinals and spending time with her family, including her poodles.
She grew beautiful flowers and enjoyed working outside, thanking her father’s influence for her love of the outdoors.
She found happiness in making desserts for her grandkids birthdays and taking them to “shows/movies” as they were growing up. Zelda could always find something to worry about, but she found joy taking care of her loved ones.
She was a loyal and loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and aunt.
Zelda is survived by her son, Harlin (Rosie) Andresen, grandchildren, Laura, Scott (Melissa Kauffman),Troy (Mariana) Andresen, Darin (Megan) Andresen, and Danielle (Dan) Rauser, seven great-grandchildren, Briana and Brandon Andresen, Sydney, Calvin and Bowen Andresen and Dredan and Braxton Rauser, and great-great- grandchildren, nieces and nephews; sister Linda (Tom) Lindgren; brother, Allen (Linda) Howe, sister-in-law Audrey (Gerald) Howe, sister-in-law Margie (Ervin Lee) Andresen, sister-in-law Marge (Marlin Wayne) Andresen and her special friend, Debbie Vandolah.
She was proceeded in death by her parents, and husband, Calvin, in 2005, son, Lorenz in 2015, grandson, Lorenz Andresen Jr.; brothers, Delbert, Gerald "Jerry," and Stanford Howe; and sisters, Thelma Hansen, Marjorie Barta-Dowd and Helen Wiley.
