Jodie Landin
November 15, 1959 ~ July 5, 2019
With profound sadness, we announce the passing of our loving mother, Jodie Lynn Landin, 59, Fargo, ND formerly Warroad, MN. She made her way to Heaven on Friday, July 5, 2019 at her home.
Jodie was born November 15, 1959 in Luverne, MN to Clarence “Casey” and Carol (Schrader) Lommen. She was the oldest of 4 and described by her mom as “a good little girl who was always proper and would never think of doing anything wrong.” She went to school in Hills, MN through 6th grade when her family relocated to Roseau, MN where she graduated. Jodie went to college at Moorhead State and East Grand Forks.
Jodie married John Landin in 1982 and they resided in Warroad, MN. Together they had two children, Jennie and Tanner, that became her life and she loved being a mother. She was a great mother at that! Jodie never missed any of their activities and her home was one where the kids’ friends often gathered. Jodie’s home was a place of comfort and her door was always open. While in Warroad, Jodie worked for the City and the Police Department as an administrative assistant. She also taught confirmation at Zion Lutheran Church and cleaned the city library. She made her kids go with to the library to dust and vacuum!
Jodie’s best friend while she lived up north was her late Grandmother Ruby Lommen. Jodie would go to Roseau where Ruby lived regularly to visit Earl’s Drive In, the park, or the DQ. Jodie would occasionally bring Grandma Ruby home to Warroad for slumber parties which entailed popcorn and ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire”.
Jodie moved to Fargo, ND in 2016 to be closer to family. She enjoyed visiting and spending time with her parents in Lake Park. Carol and Jodie enjoyed shopping, thrift stores, flea markets and just being together. There was never a dull moment with the two of them in the same room and it was guaranteed you’d hear lots of laughter. Jodie made a lot of us laugh; in fact, she even made herself laugh. Ha!
Jodie also had a special talent of being creative. She made many beautiful scrapbooks and cards. The other talent Jodie had was the ability to go all in when she found something she enjoyed. She has more scrapbooking things and holiday decorations than the general population combined.
Jodie also loved to love on people. She often put others before herself and found a new love of thrifting – giving things she found at thrift stores to others. She took the “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” to a whole new meaning. Delivering totes upon totes to her family and neighbors she never showed up empty handed. Her granddaughters thought every day was a holiday when Grandma Jodie came around.
The last few years of Jodie’s life were hard for both her and those who loved her. Jodie struggled with depression and alcoholism. She tried many times to overcome the battle. If you are reading this and are struggling, please know you are loved and it’s not too late! 1 Peter 5:7 “Cast all your anxiety on God because he cares for you.”
She will be sorely missed and survived by her parents, Casey and Carol Lommen of Lake Park, MN, her brother Toby (Stephanie) Lommen of Moorhead, MN, and her sister Heidi Lommen of Fargo, ND; her children Jennie (John) Hedstrom, Moorhead, MN and Tanner (Kassiann) Landin, Forest Lake, MN; her grandchildren Nora, Molly, and Bo Hedstrom and Henry Landin; many aunts and uncles; cousins; and nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her grandpuppies Lily and Chevy; her sister Jamie Hokkanen; her uncles Rick Burggraf, Buck Schrader, and Gordon Lommen; her aunt Janet Erks; and her grandparents.
Please join us celebrating her life at 2:00 P.M. Saturday, July 13, 2019 at Boulger Funeral Home & Celebration of Life Center, Fargo with visitation starting at 1:00 P.M.
So very sorry for your loss!! Praying for His comfort and that your memories will be a blessing to cherish!

Casey, Carol and your family: Aileen and I are so sorry for your loss. All those years as neighbors in Roseau with our kids so close in age. … Jodie always such a great smile. Please know that all of Roseau is grieving with you. Mark Helgeson
Jen and Tanner,
My deepest sympathy to you both! Your mother was great to work with at the WPD and was always there for me.
She loved taking your pictures and scrapbooking…she was so proud when she showed them to me…especially the Hawaii trip.
Your mother will truly be missed by all that knew her.
I am so sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful person inside and out.
Oh man will you miss her and I will forever hold her and all of you in my heart. All the time I spent at your house growing up just became more special. Why does life have to be so hard! May God hold you during this time and give you comfort. Take care. Love Rhonda
Jennie and Tanner
I don’t know where to begin. I am so sorry that this happened to you both. When I first met your Mom I thought that she was so beautiful that she belonged on the front of a magazine. Yes, true statement. Beauty was not only on the outside but all thru her. She loved life, family and everything around her. We all loved her girlish smile. She will always hold a piece of my heart being my ‘sister’.
Know that your Mom loved you both dearly. Death is very hard to accept when it comes so quickly, we all have many questions as to why God chose her at this time. The big “why” that will never be answered!! Now you have your own special angel watching down on you, guiding you and loving you from afar. Cherish the memories of the good times you shared with her. She is now at peace.
Remember this: If God brings you to it, He will bring you thru it.
Love,hugs and prayers to you and your families.
To the family and friends who knew Jodie well, am so sorry she is no longer with you. The things you wrote about her are beautiful and it’s so sad she struggled in later years. I knew her in high school as a beautiful person inside and out. I send love to you all. Jean (Michal) Kroll

My deepest sympathy. Jodi & I had many discussions at the WPD. She was always helpful, kind and welcoming. With much sadness. I Peter 5:7 !!
I am so sad Jodie left her earthly home too soon. But I’m grateful to know she is with Jesus and I will see her again in the next life.
I did not know about Jodie’s struggles but I know the pain Jodie felt. It is only by the grace of God I am alive. I pray for your family to find peace in your loss. I will forever remember Jodie’s smiling face and sweet personality. She will not be forgotten.
So sorry for your loss! Hugs to all of you!
