Johanna M. Lindenbeck

Johanna M. Lindenbeck, age 94, of Allouez, formerly of Germany, passed away Tuesday, August 17, 2021 at her home. She was born in 1927 in Ossling, Germany, daughter of the late Friedrich and Anna (Schneider) Matheschke.

Johanna married Horst Lindenbeck in 1950 in Hamburg, Germany. Shortly after, the couple were blessed with a daughter, Diana. They immigrated to the United States in 1957 and welcomed the arrival of their daughter, Susan, "The Yankee," in 1963. After living in Neenah and Milwaukee, the family settled in Green Bay.

Johanna was well known by her family and in her neighborhood as the "The Bicycle Lady of Allouez." She was a gifted baker, cook and gardener. Her family was her pride and joy. Every family member and friend was mentioned by name in Johanna's daily prayers. Her ministry was to share the saving grace of Jesus with everyone she met.

Johanna's survivors include her daughters, Diana (Wayne) Menne and Susan (Michael) Lapham; 7 grandchildren: Kara (Darin) Kane, Joshua Menne, Katie (Christopher) Filger, Jonathan Menne, Saffron (Jesse) Bunnell, Colter (Kirsten) Dickenshied and Tyler (Keisha) Dickenshied; 10 great-grandchildren: Kelsey, Alexia, Gavin, Bram, Camden, Orlia, Enoch, Luna, Viola and Aria; a brother, Herbert (Ilse) Matheschke and their family in Germany.

Visitation will be held at Newcomer-Green Bay Chapel (340 S. Monroe Ave., Green Bay), Thursday, September 16, 2021 from 2 to 4 PM. A memorial service will follow at 4 PM.

In lieu of flowers, memorials directed to Ribbons of Hope (P.O. Box 148, De Pere, WI 54115) in Johanna's name are appreciated.

A very heartfelt thank you to Dina and Aaron, Annemarie and Bud for their kindness throughout the years.
