Our loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Cora Helen Thorson Penne, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, January 12, 2019. She is preceded in death by her husband, Gilbert Penne; her parents, Jorgen and Clara Thorson; and her siblings, sister Joyce Paulsen, and brothers Leonard and Robert Thorson. She is survived by her children, daughters Carol Stupka, Mary Penne, Sandra Brady, and son Gary Penne. She is also survived by her six grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren. Cora was a strong, devoted woman and we will all miss her optimistic “it could always be worse” spirit!
