Christina E. (Olsen) Shodeen of Upsala was born July 10, 1949 in Dassel, Minnesota. She passed away peacefully on June 17, 2025, following a short illness
Christina “Chris” Shodeen was a bright, generous presence in every life she touched. A natural caretaker and a steadfast supporter of those around her, Chris spent her life lifting others—always the first to lend a hand or a listening ear.
She is survived by her loving husband, Larry Shodeen; her brother Carl (Susan) Olsen; sister-in-law Alicia Olsen; brother- and sister-in-law Duane (Molly) Shodeen; and her beloved nieces and nephews, who will miss her deeply.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Eugene and Janice Olson; her brother, Craig Olsen; her in-laws, Ron and Ruth Shodeen; and her nephew, Keith Shodeen.
Chris and Larry were married in 1983, beginning their life together in Golden Valley before settling at Pine Lake, where they embraced 22 beautiful years of lake life—the quiet joys, the gatherings, and the sunsets she so adored.
Her legacy of compassion, resilience, and warmth lives on in the countless lives she touched. A private service will be held at a later date.
