Bessie A. Linden, 91, passed away Friday, February 15, 2019. She was preceded in death by her husband, Leon Charles Linden; parents Max and Sarah Lent; brothers, Sam, Sherman, Ben and Morton and sisters, Ethel G., Minnie Cohen, Sally Hirsch, and Mutzi Seiden Green and her siblings’ spouses.

Bessie grew up in Duluth, the youngest of nine children. She moved to Minneapolis after high school with her best friend, Naomi Shiff. She worked as a bookkeeper and met Leo at a wedding. They married in her brother Sammy’s living room in 1950. Together they were active in hiking, fishing, skating and tandem-biking. Famous for her matzoh ball soup, knishes and Mandelbrot, she knew how to make a house a home. We’ll miss her sassy sense of humor.
