Paul N. Talsma, resident of Guttenberg, peacefully passed on Thursday, Jan. 29, 2026.

Visitation will be held from 9:30-10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 14, at St. John’s Lutheran Church, Guttenberg. Funeral service will commence at 10:30 a.m.

Paul entered this world on Easter Sunday, April 13, 1941, surrounded by love with little to no fanfare. He chose to depart this world in the same manner. He had a love of nature, sailing, music and family. Adventurous at heart, he spent his early years in the Army exploring Alaska and continued traveling extensively throughout his lifetime. He is now on his final journey.

He is survived by his wife of 41 years, Joni; his daughter, April and son-in-law, Michael; sisters, Faye, Anna and their families; sisters-in-law, Michele, Sandy and husband, Mike; brother-in-law, Ron and their families.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Lutheran World Relief in Paul’s name.

Morris Funeral Home (Dyersville, Guttenberg, Garnavillo, Monticello, Holy Cross) assisted the family and online condolences may be left for the family at www.kramer-morrisfuneralhome.com.
