HINDERER 

Lenore Adele (Koeck)

AGE 93

 

Lenore, formerly of Shoreview, passed away peacefully on March 7, 2025. Lenore was born and raised in St. Paul and attended Derham High School. After graduation she married Edward Hinderer.  She was married very young and was soon a very young mother to a houseful 7 children. 

 

She and Ed raised their large family in St. Paul on Jefferson Ave until moving to Shoreview in the early 1970s. Eventually Lenore started working outside the home for H&R Block as a tax preparer and office manager. She retired with her husband Ed in 1994. They both loved to travel with friends, their children and Ed’s sisters. 

 

No matter where, on Jefferson Ave or on Jerrold Ave, Lenore loved to spend time with friends and family, gathered in her home over the winter holidays or around the pool celebrating summer holidays. There were always people stopping by, coming and going.  She will be remembered for her contagious laugh, sense of humor and love of parties and celebrations. She will be missed by many. Proceeded in death by her husband Ed and brother Larry, along with a niece and some special nephews.  Her death marks the last of a remarkable generation that included Larry’s wife Barb and Ed’s amazing five sisters (Katie Schwab, Mary Routzahn, Louise Woulfe, Margaret Murnane and Irene Geraghty) and their spouses.

 

Survived by children Linda (James) Grafstrom, Laura (Carroll Gonzo) Hamilton, Steve (Norma Cadena), Bill (Kathy), Harry (Sara), Bridget (Dewey) Berglund, Joe (Jeanna), 16 grandchildren; 14 great grandchildren.  Also survived by many nieces and nephews. Visitation and service May 3, 2025 at Willwerscheid Funeral Home, 1167 Grand Ave, St Paul.  Visitation 10:00-1:00 with a Catholic Funeral Service at 12:00.
