Locals raise dough
for the Lindstroms
By EDWARD STRATTON
The Daily Astorian
Friends and local businesses
have started several fundraisers
to help John Lindstrom, co-own-
er of Lindstrom’s Danish Maid
Bakery with his wife, Jan, and
their family recover from his re-
cent medical emergencies.
Kim Pena, sister of Jan Lind-
strom and a former employee,
created a GoFundMe account
Wednesday called “Raising the
Dough.”
Pena said an infection in
John Lindstrom’s left foot re-
sulted in his leg being amputat-
ed below the knee. She said he is
expected home today. The fami-

“Mentally, he’s doing great,”
Pena said. “He really is. Even
Jan sounds really upbeat and
positive about their future.”
Local author Muriel Jensen
and city special projects man-
ager Rosemary Johnson started
a fundraising account at Wells
Fargo in downtown Astoria
called “Raising the Dough for
Danish Maid” and have been
recruiting business owners to

They have also organized
a walkathon starting at 10 a.m.
Oct. 24 at the Maritime Memo-
rial. The procession will walk
east to the Barbey Maritime
Center, where a silent auction
at noon has already gathered at
least $2,000 in donations from
local businesses.
Jensen said she has a con-
nection to the family, working
at the Danish Maid in the 1970s
after moving to Astoria. John
Lindstrom started working at
the bakery in 1974, purchasing
it with Jan in 1986.
John Lindstrom baked six
days a week and cleaned on
Sundays, Jensen said. “We joke

Many merchants bought or-

“They make our bread for us
for our sandwiches, and then we
get their cherry fritters,” said Jim
Defeo, co-owner of Astoria Cof-
feehouse and Bistro, which will
donate a quarter of its gross prof-
its Oct. 17 to the Lindstroms.
