Christine Diane Ewald

She graduated from Blaine High School in 1978. She worked as a Quality Assurance and Control Analyst for Starkey Labs for 25 years. Then at Vascular Solutions for 13 years until retirement in 2022. Later that fall, she fulfilled a dream of moving to Florida.

She was preceded in death by her father, Nicholas Walter; brother, Kenneth Walter and step-daughter, Elizabeth Ewald.

She is survived by her husband, Dean Ewald; daughters, Jenny Wallskog and Shelly Meyer; grandchildren, Ethan Meyer, Dean Champion, Alex Wallskog, Lila Wallskog, and Landon Meyer; mother, Margaret Joyce Mastel Walter; siblings, Teri Walter, Mike Walter, and Steve (Nicole) Walter; her cousin that is like a sister, Naomi (Dan) Nelson; and many loved nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

She was known by friends and family as Chris or Christy. She was loved for her witty sense of humor, thoughtful and generous gift giving, her love for books and movies, ability to make friends with everyone, and appreciation for quality time with family. She especially loved her time with her grandchildren. During her lifetime, she enjoyed attending sports and activities for her children and grandchildren, volunteering for charitable causes, leading Jenny’s girl-scout troop, going dancing, traveling, playing cards, and joining many social events with friends and family in Minnesota and Florida. She collected lighthouses and anything with a yellow smiley face. The yellow smiley face was a perfect symbol for the joy that she brought wherever she went. Chris spent her final 15 years of life with her incredibly loving and devout husband, Dean. He was the love of her life and she often referred to him as her best friend.
