Obituary: Laina Rikala, age 101, passed away at Essentia -St.Marys Medical on 6, 2015, after a brief hospital stay. Laina was fortunate to have had a long, healthy life, living independently until the last few years of her life when her daughter, Judie, became her caregiver at her own home. Her 100th birthday celebration was a very special memory for her.

Laina was born 17, 1913 to Taavetti David and Edla (Pennanen) Rasanen in Kuopio, Finland. She traveled with her mother to Duluth, MN, at the age of six months to join her father. She became a permanent resident of Duluth living in her own home for 68 years; up until her passing, she continued to do weekly exercises which preserved her ability to climb stairs at home. Laina also retained a remarkable memory for details and could vividly recount events from many years ago including her childhood.
Laina graduated from Duluth Central High School in 1932. She married Bernard Rikala on 3, 1944, in Duluth, MN, after getting to know him through the exchange of letters while he was in the Army. Laina and Bernard were happily married for 58 years until his death in 2002.

Early employment included seven years as a maid and four years as a stenographer. her marriage, she embraced her job as a homemaker, devoting herself to raising four children and keeping the house clean as a whistle. She prided herself on cooking full-course meals and always had cookies, cakes, or pies on hand for her children and grandchildren.
Laina had a special place in her heart for animals, especially cats, and did not hesitate to take in one or two stray cats. She fondly took care of her last cat, Buddy, until she was 98.

Laina had a passion for reading which started as a child. She liked reading historical fiction novels, the daily newspaper, and her mail. She also kept a diary for many years. Writing letters to family members was another favorite pastime, and she never forgot anyones birthday. She also spent some time tracing the ancestry of her husbands family, as well as her own.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Bernard; a brother, David; and a grandson, Daniel Andretta.

Laina is survived by four children, Judie Marino, Duluth, MN; John (Stephanie) Rikala, Payson, AZ; Lorraine (Tony) Andretta, Payson, AZ; and Wayne (Jude) Rikala, Mendota Heights, MN; six grandchildren, Kenneth Marino, Jonathan Marino, Cheryll Cota, Antonio Andretta II, Erik Rikala, and Paul Rikala; 11 great-grandchildren, Joshua Cota, Breanna Cota, Noah Cota, Cayla Marino, Josiah Marino, Micah Marino, Ben Marino, Ella Marino, Kaitlin Rikala, Isaac Andretta, and Tyler Andretta; one great-great-grandchild, Jackson Williamsen; and many nieces and nephews.
