Jean May (Leaf) Bjorklund
April 21, 1923 - May 16, 2015
Jean Bjorklund passed away May 16, 2015 at the age of 92.
Jean was born to Andrew and Mary Erickson Leaf of Grandy, Minnesota and was the fourth of 12 children. In February 1946, Jean married Jim Bjorklund and lived in Minnesota until moving to Oregon in the summer of 1950. They settled in the Sellwood neighborhood close to Jim's brothers and sister. In 1966 they moved to Tigard where they lived on 3 + acres.
Together they grew a large flower and vegetable garden. Jean canned and shared the fresh vegetables with family, friends and neighbors. They loved the Oregon coast and spent long weekends at their favorite place, the Sandcastle. In 1985, they traveled to Europe on a three week tour with Jim's sister and brother-in-law. At the end of the tour, they traveled to Sweden to visit with their extended families. Jean's father and Jim's father emigrated from Sweden in the early 1900s.
They worked together creating woodworking projects which Jim crafted in his shop and Jean painted and finished for sale and family gifts. She loved to crochet and quilt. Her favorite craft was her handmade dried flower cards that were sold or sent to family and friends. In 2004, Jean moved to King City where she resided until 2013.
Jean was preceded in death by her beloved husband Jim of 55 years in 2001; parents, Andrew and Mary; five brothers, LeeMoile, Allen, Russell, George and Wayne and sister Barbara.
She is survived by daughter, Nancy and husband Ralph Arnzen of Lake Oswego, son, Mark of Wilsonville; grandchildren, Julie Arnzen of Lake Oswego, Matt Arnzen and wife Jill of Beaverton; great grandchildren, Adam Lunceford and Lauren Arnzen. Jean is also survived by five sisters, Marian Tesmar, Dorothy Nelson, Lila (Jack) Hasser, Beverly (Glen) Paulson and Janice Johnson all of Minnesota; sister s in-law, Dorothy (Russell) Leaf, Minnesota, June (LeeMoile) Leaf, California, Phyllis (George), Alaska, Helen (Bjorklund) Hanson, California, brother-in-law Bill Bjorklund, Minnesota and many nieces and nephews.
The family would like to thank Oswego Place Assisted Living and Signature Hospice for their wonderful care and support.
At Jean s request there will be no service. A celebration of life will be held later. Jean will be interred at Willamette National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to your favorite charity.
