Virginia M.
Lagerlund
August 10, 1916 – February 10, 2012
Virginia Marie Lagerlund, 95, passed away on February 10, 2012, in Rochester.
Virginia was born on August 10, 1916 in Chicago, IL, the daughter of Daniel John Wanamaker and Mabel Maloney Wanamaker. She and her older brother Daniel and younger brothers Robert (Bob) and Laurence (Larry) grew up and attended local schools in Chicago, IL. She graduated from Siena High School on June 11, 1934. She and her brothers liked college football and always cheered for Notre Dame.
Virginia married Harold Lagerlund on June 21, 1952 in Oak Park, IL. They lived in Lombard, IL 1952-1960 and in Glen Ellyn, IL 1960-1981. Harold was employed as an accountant, and Virginia worked as a secretary during the early years of her marriage.
In 1981 after Harold retired, he and Virginia moved to Spring Hill, FL where they lived full time until June 1988. At that time they bought a house in Rochester MN to be near their son, but still spent the winter months in Spring Hill FL until finally selling their Florida house in March 2002. Virginia enjoyed reading and spending time with her grandchildren.
Virginia is preceded in death by her parents and her three brothers and by her husband, Harold. She is survived by her son, Terrence and daughter-in-law Lynn and their six children, Sarah, Benjamin, Luke, Samuel, Rachel, and Eva, who also live in Rochester.
