Leonard E. Beatty, Jr, 82

Leonard E. Beatty, Jr passed away at his home in Montgomery, MN on October 26, 2020, at the age of 82. He was born in St. Paul, MN on December 1, 1937, to Leonard Sr. & Bessie (Fitch) Beatty. 

Leonard was a graduate of St. Rose of Lima Catholic School in Roseville, MN and of Cretin Derham Hall High School in St. Paul, MN

In February 1957, he married Kathryn Schwarzbauer at Sacred Heart Church in Wahkon, MN, and together they had six children. 

He is survived by his son, Leonard Beatty III; daughters, Elizabeth Beatty, Joan (Marty) May, Carol (Tim) Jewett, and Amy Beatty; four granddaughters, Kimberly (Stephen) Pettinelli, Allison May, Audrey Jewett, Anna Jewett; three great-grandchildren, Oliver, Sam, and Lucy Pettinelli; and one brother, Richard (Kathryn) Beatty, as well as other extended family.

He was preceded in death by his parents, daughter, Anne Beatty, and brother, James Beatty.

In 1966, Leonard and his family moved to rural Montgomery, and started farming until his retirement in 2000. For many years, he was involved with the Le Sueur County Pork Producers.

After his retirement, he volunteered for many years at the Montgomery Food Shelf. 

Leonard’s Catholic faith was an integral part of his life. He was a member of Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church where he had been a member of the parish council and a Eucharistic minister for many years.

Leonard’s other passions included deer hunting, cutting wood on his farms, and gardening.

Leonard’s greatest love was his family, supporting, giving advice, and spending time with them. He enjoyed helping and encouraging them, and was always so proud of their accomplishments. He especially enjoyed his time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  

Due to COVID, private services will be held at Holy Redeemer Church at a future date with interment at St. Michael Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to Most Holy Redeemer (Montgomery), St. Wenceslaus (New Prague), or Cretin Derham High (St. Paul) schools.

Arrangements are with Neptune Society and the Beatty family.
