Anna M. (Diddens) Seaderberg

Anna Marie Diddens was born at home on the farm, near Rice, MN on September 13, 1944, to German
immigrants, Herman and Anna (Burma) Diddens. She grew up on the farm speaking a low-Dutch
German dialect along with English. She attended a one room country schoolhouse for her early school
years. After graduating from Sauk Rapids High School in 1962, she moved to Minneapolis and worked
on a blueprinting press at Honeywell.

She met Richard Seaderberg in 1964 after his service in the Navy, and they were married on September
3, 1966. Shortly after marriage, they moved to Woodinville, WA (near Seattle) and she worked out of the
home doing housecleaning and ironing. In 1971 they welcomed their one and only child, Karen, into
their lives.

In 1976, they moved to Baudette, MN and have called it home for 50 years now. While Richard made a
living driving truck cross country for Marvin Windows, Anna continued to be a housewife and mother.
She also had many jobs along the way. Her job of choice was cleaning, and she was the cleaning lady
for The First National Bank and the Baudette Clinic for about 20 years. Later she worked at The Walleye
Inn, LOW Foods, and Ronnings.

Her hobbies included latch hooking rugs and wall hangings, reading, watching movies, gardening and
most of all cooking and baking. As I tell people, her love language was cooking. If she made a meal or
dish foryou---you were loved by Anna!!!

Another important quality about Anna was her love of dogs. Her four black lab mixes she raised (Blackie
& Raven) or helped raise (grand dogs-Prince & Onyx) gave her so much joy, love and happiness.
Anna suffered a severe stroke on February 4, 2026. After much love and care from family, friends and
the local hospital and care center she passed away July 7, 2026, less than two months from her and
Richard's 60th wedding anniversary.

Preceding her in death were her parents Herman and Anna Diddens; her in-laws, Arnold and Lilly
Seaderberg; sisters and brothers-in-laws, Minnie (Lawrence) Wasner and Rita (Victor) Wochnick; and
nephew Steven Wochnick.

She will be sadly missed by surviving family; her husband Richard Seaderberg, daughter Karen (Don)
Holte and nieces: Joyce (Dennis) Rebischke and Carol Wochnick, Jennifer (Donald) Hammons;
nephews: Michael (Jenny) Highland, Mark (Corey) Highland, Paul (Shelly) Johnson, Alan (Nicole)
Johnson, and Chuck (Kim) Baldwin, along with sisters-in-laws: Marie Highland, Ellamae (Dan) Johnson,
and Eileen (Roger) Cordray, plus more extended family of nieces and nephews, Great niece's/nephews
and friends.
