Jeannie (Anderson) Noack

Jeannie Marie Noack (née Anderson), 49, of Alexandria, left our world too soon on Wednesday, June 26, 2024.

Jeannie was born on December 21, 1974, in Elbow Lake, MN to Carroll "Bud" Anderson and Kay (Bjorgan) Kratochwill. She was baptized at Trinity Lutheran Church in Wendell and confirmed at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Elbow Lake. Jeannie graduated from West Central Area High School in 1993, where she was a member of the National Honor Society. She continued her education at Fergus Falls Community College, graduating with an AA Degree.

Jeannie married Shawn Noack in 2001, and to this union two sons were born, Mitchell and Matthew. She worked various jobs in health care and especially drew personal meaning from her job as a Certified Nursing Assistant in nursing homes. Many will remember Jeannie as a thoughtful gift-giver, a talented piano player, and a collector of owl decorations. She enjoyed reading, craft projects, listening to music, and watching movies with loved ones. There was nothing in this world Jeannie loved more than her sons, of whom she was infinitely proud.

Jeannie is survived by her sons, Mitchell Noack and Matthew Noack, both of St. Cloud; parents Bud (Mona) Anderson and Kay (Lyndon) Kratochwill; brothers and sisters, Butch (Michelle) Wentland, Kathie (Ray) Kvalvog, Jeff Anderson, Errin (Mike) Stevens, Greg (Emma) Kratochwill, Steve (Jodi) Wentland, Susan (Dennis) Bakken, Michael (Stephanie) Kratochwill, Andy (Lori) Anderson, Tom Anderson, Elizabeth (Jared Leese) Kratochwill, and Emily Kratochwill; and by numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Jeannie was preceded in death by her grandparents, Clifford and Pearl Anderson, Thorwald and Mae Bjorgan, Gerald and Dorothy Kratochwill, and Raymond and Leila LeCuyer; and sister-in-law Sherlyn Anderson. 

A memorial service will be held Saturday, July 20, 2024 at 2:00PM, at Grace Evangelical Free Church in Elbow Lake. Visitation will begin one hour prior to the service. Memorials preferred to Mitchell Noack and Matthew Noack.
