Doris I. Barkve, 92, Ada, MN, passed away peacefully on Monday, October 11, 2021 at Benedictine Care Community in Ada.

Doris Irene (Jacobson) Barkve was born on May 31, 1929 to Clarence and Nettie (Bell) Jacobson in rural Hendrum Township.

Doris married Howard Barkve on July 28, 1951 and together they had four children. Doris was a devoted wife and mother who gave her all to her family.

Doris made her life with her family in the Hendrum-Ada area. She had a strong faith in Christ and reflected that faith as a member of her church community and her neighborhood. As a good neighbor, Doris visited shut-in neighbors and did what she could do for them, providing support and companionship. Life brought loss, and some very challenging times for Doris. She was not prone to complaining, and she strongly persevered. She was not afraid of hard work and her dedication to helping others was greatly appreciated by the many lives she touched.

Genealogy was of interest to Doris, as she informally kept track of her many extended families of cousins and their families. She attended and enjoyed many family reunions.

Doris is survived by her sons, David Barkve, Ada, MN, Allen (Kelly) Barkve, Marine on St. Croix, MN, and Steven Barkve, Ada, MN; grandchildren, Marit (Brice Dally) Barkve Dally, Nik (Kate Schletty) Barkve, Christopher Olson, and Tony Olson; and great grandchildren, Olander and Leo Dally, June Barkve, and Michael Olson.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Howard; parents, Clarence and Nettie Jacobson; daughter, Irene Barkve; and sister, Ardis (Jacobson) Chisholm.

Funeral: 2:00 PM, Monday October 18, 2021 at Grace Lutheran Church, Ada, MN. Due to COVID 19 concerns, the Barkve family has requested that masks be worn to the funeral and visitation.

Visitation: Two hours before the funeral at the church.
