BARBARA JEANNE (BENSON) LYNGHOLM

Barbara Jeanne (Benson) Lyngholm

Barbara Jeanne (Benson) Lyngholm, age 70, of Apple Valley, MN was called to her heavenly home on Tuesday, October 5, 2021 with her loving husband Thomas by her side.

Together, they gave their children and grandchildren the epitome of what a devoted Christian marriage should be. Barb embodied love and dedication to her family, friends, and her church.

In 1998, she was diagnosed with an advanced case of breast cancer. With a warrior’s spirit and a passion to one day meet her grandchildren, she beat cancer and offered help and counsel to countless other women who faced the frightening diagnosis. The Lord blessed us with 23 more years of her in our lives. During those precious years she saw both her children marry and she was able to witness her five grandchildren to grow in faith and become bright shining examples of their Grandma’s loving spirit.

Barb is survived by her husband, Thomas; son, Derick (Dianna) Lyngholm; daughter, Bethany (Doug Mackey); her grandchildren, Melia, Jamison, Christian, Bennett and Elyse; and her siblings, Brian Benson, Joyce Evenson, and Lea Benson.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Darrell and Marie Benson.

Funeral services were held on Monday, October 11, 2021 Bloomington Lutheran Church, Bloomington, MN. She was laid to rest on Tuesday, October 12, 2021 at Fort Ridgley Cemetery in Fairfax, MN.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that you consider a gift to the American Breast Cancer Foundation or the Alzheimer’s foundation.
