his 97th birthday. Giving of himself, even in death, his body was donated to the University of Minnesota Anatomy Bequest program.
Quentin enjoyed traveling, visiting family and friends, collecting stamps and coins, and working on his computer. He was also a walker, gardener of sorts, and a good friend to many.
As well as a servant of the church and community, Quentin was a wonderful father, grandfather, and great grandfather. Quentin was preceded in death by his wife Vera, brother Marvin and sister Helen. He is survived by his son Dennis Walseth (Wanda) of Moorhead, MN; daughters Donna Walseth Shaheen (Bill) of Minneapolis; Christina Walseth of Albuquerque, NM; Karin Lindberg (Paul) of Kandern, Germany; and Margaret Chaney (Jerry) of Salt Lake City, UT.

December 20. Visitation with the family will be one hour preceding the worship. A reception will follow the service.
