Minda Unseth, child of God, died unexpectedly March 17, 2022 at University Medical Center of natural causes. She was born November 1, 1950 at Swedish American Hospital in Rockford, IL. The third of six children born to Malcolm and Lois Unseth. As a young child, Minda lived in Minneapolis, Portland, and Klamath Falls, OR before settling in Seattle as a young adult. Graduating high school in Klamath Falls, she attended Trinity College (Lutheran Bible Institute) and North Seattle Community College. Minda worked for Safeco, followed by 29 years for UW Hospital billing. Being a voracious reader, she loved mysteries and biographies. Minda never met a person she couldn't talk to. This was an excellent attribute to have as a docent at the National Nordic Museum. She loved volunteering at the museum as reflected in her receiving the Volunteer of the Year Award. Prior to this, she served as one of the first board members for the Ballard Food Bank. An avid supporter of the arts, Minda had season tickets to PNB, the 5th Ave Theater, and membership at SAM. She also attended plays at ACT and Queen Elizabeth Theater in Vancouver, BC. Minda is preceded in death by her parents and siblings, Brita and Jonathan. She is survived by siblings Catherine, Malcolm (Karen), and Gretchen; nephew, Matthew (Christina); and nieces Hailey and Madison. Memorials may be given to Ballard Food Bank or National Nordic Museum Burial will be on April 30th at 10:00am at Crown Hill Cemetery.
