Jennifer Lynn Rapatt

Jennifer Lynn Rapatt was born May 6, 1983, in Perham, Minnesota to her parents Roger and Mary (Kimmes) Rapatt. She attended primary and middle school in New York Mills before transferring to Perham High School. Her love of music guided her to Brown Institute in Minneapolis to earn an associate’s degree in broadcasting.

In October of 2008 she met her best friend, Bill Heinis. She was employed at Boedy Appliance shortly after moving back to the Perham area in 2014. She moved to Fargo in 2017 where she eventually got back into the appliance parts business at Sunberg America as the branch warehouse manager. Her health led her to move to Bill’s home in Ottertail in December of 2023. She had a brief recovery in her health that enabled her to move to her final residence in Battle Lake, July of 2024.

She loved music, podcasts, collecting vintage toys, cooking, watching comedies and documentaries, spending time with her pets and her small circle of close friends.

Jennifer passed away on December 23, 2024, at her home. She is preceded in death by her parents Roger Rapatt, Mary (Kimmes) Rapatt, grandparents Wilmar Rapatt, Frances (Tanko) Rapatt, Edward and Mildred (Schmitz) Kimmes, uncle Paul Kimmes, aunts Sarah Kimmes, Linda (Kimmes) Lofte, cousins Aaron Koelman, Bobby Gillette
