Paul Peterson Obituary, Death – Paul A. Peterson, age 60, a resident of Lake City who had previously lived in St. Charles, passed away on Monday, November 14, 2022 at the Lake City Care Center. He was surrounded by his loving family as well as his family from the care center. Bennie and June (Wanek) Peterson welcomed their son Paul into the world on August 21, 1962 in Rochester.
Before relocating to St. Charles in 1990, he and his family had previously made their home in Rochester, Hayfield, Lewiston, and Winona. In 2011, he made the transition to the Lake City Care Center.
