Wilkerson, Paulette Cordelia (nee Lindvall)
May 13, 1945 – August 26, 2018
Age 73 of Robbinsdale. On August 26, 2018 Paulette Wilkerson passed away peacefully from
complications of dementia at Copperfield Memory Care in Robbinsdale,
MN. She was born May 13, 1945 to Stanley and Goldie (Clements)
Lindvall in Littlefork, MN. After high school graduation in 1963 she
went on to graduate in 1965 from the Duluth School of Practical
Nursing. She married Bryon (Wilk) Wilkerson in 1966 and together they
raised two daughters Amy Wilkerson (Tony Kukich) and Jody Wilkerson
(Peter Moe). She has one very special granddaughter Emily Krause.
She was a dedicated military wife and supported Wilk in his 21 years in
the United States Air Force. After moving several places they settled in
Rapid City, SD where she returned to nursing. Wilk passed away in 2001
and she eventually moved to Chatfield, MN where her last job was
working at the Mayo Clinic. She finally settled in Robbinsdale to be
closer to her daughters and granddaughter. Paulette volunteered in
her community at Store to Door, a food delivery program for seniors.
She was also a proud lifetime member of the Littlefork VFW auxiliary
post 9641. No matter where she lived or worked she made many
friends. Everyone she met fell in love with her spirit. She was a very
compassionate and giving person and always put others before herself.
She was full of life and lived her life without any regrets. Paulette was
preceded in death by her husband, parents, brothers Terrence (Butch)
and Truman Lindvall, Grandparents and infant nephew. Besides her
two daughters and granddaughter she is survived by siblings Brian (Pat)
Lindvall, Nadine (Bill) Breeton and Michael (Lisa) Lindvall, her sisters-in-
law Ellen (Tom Ollikkala) and Sharon Lindvall plus several nieces and
nephews. A memorial service will be held 1pm September 15, 2018 at the
Littlefork Community Building. In lieu of flowers memorials may be
