Glen Schindeldecker, age 85, of Winona and formerly of Cannon Falls, passed away peacefully on Sunday, June 7, 2020 in Red Wing at his daughter's home. While there, he was surrounded and visited by loved ones in his final days.

Glen Roger Schindeldecker was born on May 23, 1935 in Inver Grove Heights, the son of Harry and Hazel (Leubecker) Schindeldecker. He grew up in Inver Grove Heights and graduated from South St. Paul High School. Following school, Glen served his country honorably in the Air National Guard from 1953-1959.
