Jeanne Toso

Jeanne A. Toso, 64, of Pelican Rapids, died October 15, 2024, at her residence, surrounded by family, under the care of hospice.

Jeanne Anna Maree (Trelstad) Toso was born on September 28, 1960 in Mahnomen, MN. She was the first of two daughters after four boys. Family was everything to Jeanne as she grew her circle of loved ones to include her first-born daughter she sought to someday meet since 1979, husband Loren Toso, son David “Cheeto” (Sabrina) granddaughter Odessa of Fergus Falls and daughter Annamaree (Tyler) in Dalton, GA and several god-children and “bonus” children over the years. She was “Mama Jeanne” to many. She also had her special group of women friends to whom she was fiercely loyal.

Jeanne grew up in Moorhead, attending Edison Elementary, Central Junior and Moorhead Senior High. From early on being a caretaker in senior homes to working in the bakery at Larson’s Super Value, Quality Toyota where she was a service writer and Northern Contours where she was a superstar at customer service. Her joy in work came from the friends she made whether co-workers or customers.

Jeanne married Loren Toso on May 7, 1988, and lived in rural Rothsay.

Her hobbies included gardening, camping and anything and everything involving family and friends. That includes several wonderful dogs, the latest and sweetest being Jasper who knew when she needed him to be in her lap.

Other family members include brothers, John, Mark, Lynn (Michelle), Pete; sister, Jill; and brothers-in-law, Keary (Sue) and Michael (Maria).

She was preceded in death by her father, Maynard; mother, Avonne; father-in-law, Ken Toso; mother-in-law, Judy Toso and also sisters-in-law, Marcia and Lynette who passed at 13 months of age.
