Videll Berneice Hollister was born to Raymond and Emma (Aadland) Syverson on January 23, 1938, in Sisseton, South Dakota. Videll was raised in the Sisseton area with her five siblings until she left home to start working and eventually moved to the Twin Cities area. Videll met her husband Bob through mutual friends and relatives. Bob and Videll were married on August 30, 1958. They lived in St. Paul and Crystal before moving to the Isanti/Cambridge area where they raised three children—Lon, Wade, and Sherri. After Bob retired, he and Videll enjoyed living in Hot Springs, SD for 10 years before coming back to Cambridge in 2015.
Videll was a loving wife, mother, sister, and friend. Videll will be remembered for her faith in God and was often heard singing portions of hymns throughout the day in recent years especially. Videll loved to cook for and entertain friends and family; collecting and trying new recipes was one of her hobbies. Videll loved going for drives with Bob around the areas in which they lived to look at fall colors, find wildlife in the Black Hills, or just enjoy the scenery.

She is also survived by her sister, Beth Grieser of Hot Springs, SD; sister-in-law, Barbara Syverson, and many nieces and nephews.
Videll was such a wonderful Aunt! I loved her in so many ways. She always saw the humor in everything or make her own humor, she was so uplifting. I so enjoyed spending a week or 2 with them in the summers growing up, and many weekends when I worked in the cities. Their home was always a fun, happy and quiet place to go. I will not be able to attend the funeral, but you all are/will be in my thoughts . 💞
I remember Videll so well from when she and Bob had the Sunday morning meeting in their home in Hot Springs. She often spoke from a hymn and I so appreciated that. She and Bob were pillars in the church.
very special memories of being in fellowship meetings with them, and going with them so many times on photo shoots too.
