Courtney Nicole Meine, age 28 of Maple Grove, MN, passed away December 29, 2020.
She was born on May 29, 1992 in Fridley, MN to John and Marsha (Norwood) Meine. She attended Rogers High School and graduated with the class of 2010. She furthered her education by attending North Hennepin Community College to obtain her paralegal degree, and then recently was enrolled in Hennepin Tech to become a dental assistant.
Courtney was a strong-willed and determined person. She enjoyed her independence, but also loved spending time with her family and friends for special occasions and holidays. She would always include people in conversations and could make people feel at ease in social settings. Courtney had a welcoming and kind personality that allowed her to easily make friends. She loved being a big sister and having someone look up to her for guidance.
Courtney had a strong desire to learn new skills; she taught herself how to knit and wanted to get into crocheting. She liked scrapbooking, coloring, and creating other art projects. She loved being a “cat mom” to her pet cats, had many aquarium pets, and deeply cared for all of their well-being.
Spending time in nature on vacation at the lake was especially meaningful to her. She liked to relax, go for long walks, and play card games with her family.
Courtney is preceded in death by her grandpa, Walter Meine; great-grandparents, Dorothy (Hubert) Burkart, and Bill Featherston.
She is survived by her parents, John and Marsha; sister, Jennifer (Nicholas) Steffen; grandparents, Fern Meine, and William and Sharon Norwood; boyfriend, Ted Pabtig Yang; cat companions, Parker and Serena; and many other relatives and friends.
