Lynn M. Stolp
Lynn Marie Stolp, 69 of Rochester, MN joyfully went home to her Jesus on Sunday, November 10, 2024. She spent her final days at home surrounded by loving family.
Lynn was born June 2, 1955 to Gerald and Veronica Stolp of Rochester. She graduated from Lourdes High School in 1973. Upon graduation, Lynn joined the United States Air Force stationed in Alabama, and did a tour of the Azores. After her discharge from the Air Force, she lived in Iowa, Maine, and North Carolina before returning to her home and family in Minnesota where she was employed by Mayo Clinic until her retirement in 2020. Retirement didn’t slow Lynn down one bit as she spent her days volunteering at Mayo Clinic, served as a No-one Dies Alone (NODA) volunteer, and played the Carillon at the Plummer Building.
Lynn married Jim Koehneke in 1993 and later divorced. Together they raised Jim’s two children Alison and Justin.
Lynn was an avid gardener and quilter, and loved travelling (most notably a trip to Europe with her mom and dad). She was a beloved sister, mother, and friend – a giver until the very end with the donation of her organs so that others may live. She was a trusted mentor to her nieces and nephews, and a loving grammy to her grandson Levi who she adored. Lynn loved her family fiercely, and her vivacious energy and boisterous laugh lit up every family gathering.
Lynn was passionate about her renewed faith and looked forward to her weekly service and bible study at Community Celebration Church in Kasson, MN. It was in this faith that she joyously opened her arms to the Lord when he called her home.
Lynn is survived by her children Alison (Seth) Friedmann, Justin (Suze) Koehneke, her grandson Levi, her mother Veronica Stolp, her siblings Bruce (Joyce) Stolp, Julie (Jerry) Laures, Howard (Anne Marie) Stolp, Janet Wallaker, Matt (Laura) Stolp, Nick (Melissa) Stolp, and many nieces and nephews.
Lynn is preceded in death by her father Gerald Stolp, her grandparents, and great grandparents.
Lynn’s family would like to share their love and memories of Lynn in a celebration of life at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Mayo Clinic Hospice program.

Dear Ronnie, Julie and family,
Blessings on you during these tender days of celebrating Lynn while mourning her passing. She was a bright light, full of good humor and kindness. As the “go-between” freshman year at LHS for my Big Sis Mary Klauda and me, she brought joy and comfort (and kept Mary’s identity secret…. Until…she didn’t (!)) What a wonderful daughter, sister, and friend she was to us!
may her memory be a blessing to all who knew her.

I’m sad to hear of Lynn‘s passing. Haven’t seen her for years, but I have fun memories of Lynn when we were both playing with the Hi-Liters at Lourdes. Lynn also played Organ at my wedding. My condolences to the family.
I had the privilege of working with Lynn during her time at Mayo Clinic. Lynn and I got to work closely together on many projects including the Patient Journey. We always had fun no matter what we were doing and enjoyed many laughs together. I will miss Lynn dearly; she was a true joy to be around, and I am lucky I got to know her. I am so sorry to all her knew and loved her, especially her dear family who I got to hear a lot about. I know how much she loved you all.
Take care and God Bless, Karissa
