Warren Meissner

January 18, 1926 — June 29, 2016

Warren Virgil Meissner was born January 18, 1926 in Millerville Township, MN, the son of Rudolph and Hattie (Wussow) Meissner. He grew up and attended school in Millerville Township. Following his schooling Warren worked for his parents on the family farm.

On December 29, 1954 Warren was united in marriage to Alice Dickhoff at Zion Lutheran Church in North Effington Township, MN. The couple made their home on the Meissner home farm which Warren acquired in 1967 and continued to farm. The couple was blessed with three children, Warren, Linda and Roger. In 1987 Warren turned his dairy farm over to his son, Warren, and he and Alice moved to a home on Lake Aaron. He continued to work on the farm, helping his son, as much as he was able to. In 2000 Warren completely retired from farming and moved with Alice to Alexandria. Most recently Warren was a resident of the Bethany Home community in Alexandria.

Warren was active in the Trinity Lutheran Church near Millerville for over forty years and served his church as an elder. Warren was also a member of the Millerville Sportsman's Club. He and Alice enjoyed traveling and visited most of the lower forty-eight states, Nova Scotia and Germany. Warren liked to spend time fishing in the winter and if time permitted he would fish with his family in the summer.

On Wednesday, June 29, 2016 Warren died at the age of ninety years. He was preceded in death by one son, Roger Meissner; one great grandson, Eli; three brothers, Harlen, Allan and Clinton Meissner; and one sister, Geraldine Hausmann. Warren is survived by his wife, Alice Meissner of Alexandria, daughter, Linda Meissner of Sturgis, SD; and son, Warren Meissner and wife, Donna, of Millerville; grandchildren, Beau Larsen, Nicole Larsen, Catlyn Condon and husband, Dan, Brittany Meissner, Brendan Meissner and Brandt Meissner; and great grandchildren, Shaylee Larsen, Hailey Condon and Owen Condon.

A funeral service was held Friday, July 1, 2016 at the Grace Lutheran Church in Brandon. Reverend Ed Borchert officiated. Interment followed in the Trinity Lutheran Church Cemetery. Casket bearers included all of Warren's grandchildren and Warren's great grandchildren served as honorary casket bearers. Arrangements were with the Anderson Funeral Home in Alexandria.
