Doreene Kaye Magnuson Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on February 25, 2026 we had to say goodbye to Doreene Kaye Magnuson of White Bear Lake, Minnesota, born in Iron Mountain, Michigan. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Doreene Kaye Magnuson to show support.

She was predeceased by: her husband Jerry; her parents, Lucille Perkins and Garfield Perkins; her mother-in-law Helen Lehto; her sister Caryl Novara; and her sister-in-law Julie Robinson.

She is survived by: her friend Jerry Magnuson; her children, Anne Miller (Adam) and G. T. Magnuson; her grandchildren, Lili Magnuson, Arika Miller, Alex Miller, Chevas Magnuson and Madi-Jo Magnuson; her brother John Phillips (Donna); and her brothers-in-law, Larry Robinson, Ray Novara and Ken Magnuson (Sue).

In lieu of flowers, please direct memorials to Open Arms of Minnesota (a service Doreene used that was very helpful to her in the past year; they deliver and provide medically tailored meals to those living with illnesses so she had nutritious low-sodium meals to help her heart: https://www.openarmsmn.org).
