Lee Ellen Gustafson

Lee Ellen (Falck) Gustafson, age 91, of Moundsview, MN, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Thursday, September 24. 2020, under the care of Brighton Hospice at the home of her son, Robert Gustafson and his wife, Shelly.

Lee was born July 21, 1929, in Minneapolis, Minnesota to the late Pearl and Bernard Falck. On May 21, 1948, she was united in marriage to Robert Gustafson. They shared 43 eventful years together with most of those years serving with New Tribes Mission (now Ethnos 360) with the goal that the truth of Jesus Christ, the Savior, would be known throughout the world. After her husband's death in 1992, Lee continued representing the work of Ethnos 360 in churches as well as attending and serving in local churches.

Lee is survived by her daughter, Lynette Lee, and her husband, Gary, of Roach, MO; a daughter-in-law, Donna Gustafson, of Fridley, MN; three sons, Timothy Gustafson and his wife, Michelle, of Fridley, MN; Stephen Gustafson and his wife, Sharon, of Flowery Branch, GA; Robert Gustafson and his wife, Shelly, of Ham Lake, MN; fourteen grandchildren and many great-grandchildren ; two brothers, and extended family and friends. She loved her family so much and so enjoyed seeing her family together.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, a son, Jeffrey Gustafson, two brothers, and two sisters.

We cherish who she was as a mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. We look forward to the day when we will all be together again. We cherish her love for us all.
