Visitation will be held from 9:30AM until 11:00AM prior to the service, at the church. Burial will be in St. John’s Lutheran Cemetery, Elkton, MN at a later date.
Harvard died of cancer at 2:04AM on Sunday, February 5, 2023 after a fearless year-long battle. He spent the end of his life at Season’s Hospice House with his son KC by his side.
Harvard was born on April 3, 1940 in South Dakota to William and Alma Jendersee. He was raised in Elkton, MN on a farm with three brothers Don, Mel, and Duane. Life was sports, working hard, and especially Peggy Twitchell, the love of his life, whom he married on August 16, 1959.
Harvard loved to work hard at everything he did. He had a successful IBM career, was owner of the The Little Store, and was owner of the old Cow-Town lot that he turned into an impressive building for business rentals. There were plenty of lawns to mow and a very large garden to take care of. Being the father of five kids kept him and his wife very busy indeed. Harvard also loved to enjoy life. Hunting deer and pheasants, fishing for Salmon, Walleye and Northerns, and especially golf… which he excelled at! He could also be found snowmobiling, traveling, socializing, and cut’n a rug on the dance floor at every social event.
Harvard is survived by his children Kellie (Mike) of Lindstrom, MN, KC of Rochester, Kammi of Rochester, Kyle of Naples, FL, 8 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
He is preceded in death by wife Peggy, daughter Kori, two grandchildren, parents, and two brothers.

The family of Harvard C. Jendersee has received the following condolences.
Sorry for the family’s loss. Harv was a great guy . I worked for him at the Little Store . He will be missed by many .
Harv was a friend. I played considerable amounts of golf with him and learned early on he was a very good golfer in spite of a bad swing. When a unit came up in Sunnyshores he lobbied hard for me to buy it. Should have listened to him. Great walleye fisherman. He will be missed

I don't know where to start or where to stop. I have many years of memories and they're all special. He was one of the greatest men I've known. He was so much more than a boss to me for how many years? He was also a mentor a shoulder to lean on and most of all he was my friend. I have so much love and respect for the entire Jendersee family. I'm willing to bet your Mom and Dad are already dancing. RIP Harv you will be missed by so many!!
