Ann Ragozzino Funeral

Tuesday, April 22, 2025 | 11:00 AM

With hearts full of love, sorrow, and deep gratitude, we share the peaceful passing of Ann Ragozzino on April 17, 2025—just five days shy of her 98th birthday. Ann lived a long, joyful, and deeply meaningful life, grounded in her unwavering Catholic faith, devoted to her family, and marked by grace, humility, and quiet strength.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Ann’s love for family, community, and the church was nurtured from an early age. She embraced the values of compassion, service, and faith passed down through her heritage and spiritual upbringing. Her Catholic faith remained her compass and comfort throughout her life.

Ann was married for 64 loving years to her beloved deceased husband, Tony. She is survived by her children Mark (Karen), Mary Jo (Brad Beisel), Paul (Linda Henneman), Lisa (Mark Hadley), and Will (Luciane Maia); her grandchildren Brad (Catherine), Lia (Jen), Nika Hadley (Max Shaulis), and Mario Hadley (Julia Hadley); and her great-grandchildren Daniel, Braylee, and Reagan Ragozzino, and Haven Hadley. Her family was her greatest joy, and her legacy of love lives on in each of them.

Faith was the cornerstone of Ann’s life—something she lived every day. Her kindness to others, generosity toward those in need, and steadfast devotion to her family and community were quiet but powerful reflections of her faith. She was an active member of Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Edina, Minnesota, and found joy and fellowship through the Genesis and Saint Francis Guilds.

Ann’s home was a sanctuary—filled with warmth, conversation, laughter, tradition, and the aromas of home-cooked meals. She taught generations how to live with grace: how to plant a garden, feed the birds, care for the earth, and most importantly, how to love selflessly and unconditionally.

She will be missed more than words can express, but we find comfort in knowing she is now at peace in the presence of our Lord, joyfully reunited with those who went before her.

Visitation one hour prior to the Mass of Christian burial. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Ann’s memory to Catholic Medical Mission Board or League of Women Voters.

David Gengler Funeral

Thursday, April 10, 2025 | 10:30 AM

Dave Gengler, 83, passed away on February 6, 2025. He was a beloved husband, father, uncle, great-uncle and friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Dave was born on May 17, 1941 to Jeanette and Arnold Gengler in Plainview, MN where he spent his childhood on the family farm.

After graduating from Plainview High School he went on to serve in the Army with the Old Guard at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. After his discharge, he attended Rochester Junior Community College and then finished his Bachelor's of Science in Business at Mankato State University. After graduating, he began a 31 year career with IDS Financial Services/Ameriprise in downtown Minneapolis. Throughout his career, he was proud of his attention to detail, problem solving and persistence for customers, and a contagious sense of humor on the job.

But more than anything, Dave was a loving father and husband. He enjoyed cheering on his kids and grandkids whatever they were doing from sports to academics to career moves - he was a proud father and grandfather and would tell anyone who would listen about them. He was always there to offer a pearl of wisdom, teach them something new, or just encourage them on their next endeavor whatever that might be.

In his free time, Dave enjoyed gardening, woodworking, fixing things around his house, and quietly helping neighbors, friends and community members. He was an outgoing guy who loved chatting with whoever was around, often with a story or a joke to make them laugh. He was a man of many facial expressions to punctuate a joke that was just over the line - he loved to get a reaction and get people laughing.

Dave is survived by his wife, Jan, his children, Ben Gengler (Deanna) and Katrina Mezera (Rob), and his 6 grandchildren Sophia, Isaiah, Lillianne, Walter, Jackson, and Natalie, his sisters Rita Gengler and Lyn Mussaleum (Bob) and brother John Gengler (Rita), and many in-laws, nieces, and nephews and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his father and mother, Arnold and Jeanette Gengler, his siblings Earl, Richard, James, Paul, Gerald, and Jerome Gengler and Virgina Lee.

A visitation will be the hour prior funeral service. A visitation will also be held on April 9th from 4 - 7 PM at Washburn-Mcreavy Funeral Chapel in Edina, Minnesota. Internment Saturday, May 17, 2025 at 10 AM at St. Joachim Cemetery in Plainview, MN.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to VEAP Food Shelf in Bloomington, MN.

Jim Seidel Funeral

Friday, April 4, 2025 | 11:00 AM

It is with deep sorrow that we mourn the passing of beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, son, uncle, golf partner, basketball teammate, and friend, James A. Seidel (“Jim Senior”) of Edina, MN. Jim was born December 8, 1932 and peacefully entered eternal life March 4, 2025. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 63 years, Lucia; parents Richard and Miriam; and 11 siblings. He is survived by his biggest fan and son, Jim (Annie); treasured granddaughters Maggie and Molly, sister, Katy (David) Mechtenberg, and numerous cherished nieces and nephews.

Jim was a devoted husband, an exceptional father and friend to his son Jim, wonderful father-in-law, and deeply dedicated grandfather. Jim was born in Chicago, lived in several cities as a child before the Seidel family moved to St. Paul when Jim was in 5th grade, and made one more move to Minneapolis while he was in high school. Jim graduated from St. Luke’s grade school in St. Paul in 1946, St. Thomas Academy in 1950, and St. Thomas College in 1954. Jim and Lucia Louise Carlin were married in 1958, lived in Minneapolis, and then moved to Edina in 1970. Jim began his career at U.S. Bank (then First Bank), and served two years in the U.S. Army. In 1963, Jim joined Great West Life insurance company where he worked for the rest of his career. Many recall Jim as an All-State basketball player on two St. Thomas Academy State Catholic Championship teams, and as the six-time Men’s Club Champion golfer at his cherished Minikahda Club. Jim was an avid reader, close follower of Minnesota high school, college, and professional sports, and current events. Jim’s life was marked by steadfast faith in God, love for the Catholic Church and the sacraments, a deep devotion to the Blessed Mother as a daily devotee of the Rosary for most of his life, and as a member of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem.

Jim’s warm smile, deep gratitude for the many blessings in his life, internal strength, and the joy and love he had for family and lifelong friends will be appreciated forever. Jim was content throughout his entire life, including when he passed at The Glenn in Hopkins in his recliner, not long after attending daily Mass, concluding a life well lived, and a race exceedingly well run.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to St. Thomas Academy or the OLG Father Cassidy Scholarship Endowment.

Visitation one hour prior to Mass of Christian Burial. Rosary at 9:45 AM Interment St. Mary's Cemetery.
