Mary Rose (Wenzel) Dinneen 83, passed away on June 18, 2019, at home.
Born to Pearl and Frank Wenzel on April 9, 1936, in New Richland, MN. Preceded in death by son Kevin; siblings Phyllis, David and Elaine. Survived by husband Dick Youngblood of St. Paul; son Sean Dinneen; daughters Shari (Dave) Fink and Molly Dinneen; grandchildren Kaitlin Fink, Kevin (Abby) Fink, Megan Fink; and great-granddaughter Lucy. Mary is also survived by her beloved brother Frank Wenzel; many nieces and nephews; step children Kent (Maggie) Youngblood, Ruth (Ron) Mandsager, Beth (Jeff) Kolanski; and former husband Keith Dinneen.
Mary was Valedictorian of her high school class and received her Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from the College of St. Thomas. She loved finding just the right gift for her family and friends, gardening, reading, watching HGTV and collecting flow blue. She taught us to find beauty and joy each day, no matter how small. We are planning a remembrance for family and friends to be held later. A special thank you to her neighbors for building a small town on their Linwood Ave. block. Keep dancing, AnnaSophia.
