Paul Arnold Lindemann

Paul Arnold Lindemann was born in Waukesha on October 29, 1939, to Adolph and Olive (Thiesenhusen) Lindemann, the third of seven children. He was born again and adopted into the family of his heavenly Father through the washing of holy baptism on December 3, 1939. He was instructed in the saving truths of Holy Scripture and professed his faith in the Triune God and Jesus Christ as his Savior when he was confirmed at St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church of Muskego on March 29, 1953. 

Paul attended Rochester High School and graduated from MATC with a degree in business. He worked for over 30 years as a purchasing agent at Waukesha Engine (Dresser).  Following his retirement from Dresser, he served many more years as a consultant at Fluid Power Energy and Filtration Systems Inc.  in Waukesha. 

On June 4, 1965, Paul married Janet Mayer of Muskego, Wisconsin. He was a loving father to three children: Ann, John, and James. An active member of St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, Paul took every opportunity he had to grow in the grace and knowledge of his Lord and Savior, faithfully attending church services and Bible studies. He served in various leadership positions at St. Paul’s in addition to teaching Sunday School for 50 years. A strong supporter of WELS missions, he had the opportunity to visit his son John in the African mission field four times. A member of the Stoney Creek Adult Community Board of Directors, he served as its President from 2014-2017. 

Paul was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Known as Pa to his family, his sense of humor, godly wisdom and affection will be deeply missed. He patiently endured a lifetime of chronic pain, always keeping his eyes fixed on Jesus and the promise of an eternal life free from pain. 

On Wednesday, April 5, 2023, God in his wisdom and mercy summoned Paul from this world of sickness and pain to his side in glory having granted him a time of grace in this world of 83 years, 5 months, and seven days.

Paul is survived by his wife and best friend, Janet (nee Mayer); his daughter, Ann (James) Janke; his sons, John (Melinda) Holtz, and James (Judy) Lindemann; his grandchildren, Joshua (Elisabeth) Janke, Sarah (Aaron) Dolan, Hannah (Marcus) Bitter, Rachel (Christopher) Anderson, Heather Holtz, Lukas Lindemann and Kathryn Lindemann; and great-grandchildren, Silas, August, and Gretchen Dolan; and Levi, Joel, Jude, Anna and Liam Janke; his brothers, Carl (Betty) Lindemann, and Larry (Janet) Lindemann; his sisters, Arlo Schultz, and Jane Lindemann; sisters-in-law Ann Lindemann and Colleen Lindemann; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was predeceased by parents Adolph and Olive (Thiesenhusen) Lindemann, and brothers Edward and Earl Lindemann.

St. Paul’s church was a spiritual blessing to Paul throughout his life. A sincere thank you to the pastors for their many home visits and words of comfort. 

A heartfelt thank you to Paul’s caregivers from Aurora at Home Hospice Care, Andrea and Jackie. 

A visitation for Paul will be held on Sunday, April 16th, from 1:30-3:30pm at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church (S66 W14325  W Janesville Rd. Muskego).  A funeral service will immediately follow. 

Paul’s mortal remains will be laid to rest in St. Paul’s Lutheran Church Cemetery, there to await the resurrection that will take place when Jesus Christ returns in power and glory on the last day. 

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to Martin Luther College, Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary and St. Paul’s Lutheran Church.
