May 21, 1911 — December 13, 2007
Arnold Sundheim, age 96 of Cannon Falls, died on Thursday afternoon, December 13, 2007 at the Angels Care Center in Cannon Falls.
Arnold was born on May 21, 1911 in Sisseton, South Dakota, the son of July Eric Sundheim and Anna Marie (Bjerke) Sundheim. He attended school, but at an early age, was helping on the family farm.
He farmed all of his working life near Sisseton, SD, Froid, MT, and Cannon Falls, MN. He had always been active in churches where he resided, including Urland, Froid and St. Ansgar's Lutheran Churches.
Arnold married Gladys Madeline Schiell on February 15, 1934 at Millbank, South Dakota. They raised eight children together. On March 2, 1984, his wife of 50 years, Gladys died.
Arnold later married Joye Ann (nee Saunders) Carroll on August 9, 1984.
Arnold enjoyed many things...fishing, gardening, flowers, and making crafts!
Arnold will be remembered most for his loving and caring manner, and his honesty. A gentleman's handshake was his word! He will be greatly missed by his loving family and friends.
