Ruby Marie Thorud passed away Thursday, October 8, 2009. We love you and will miss you sorely, Marie. You will live on in our fond and loving memories of you.
This is Marion with her youngest daughter Sandy and her husband Gene Goodman. We had a nice chat that day with the river nearby and a bike path that had been the railroad tracks. The bike path goes to three other cities and is VERY popular there. Beautiful with the trees turning colorful reds and yellows, but still holding the greens.
Ken O'Kada, Gene Goodman and Toby (Tobin) Glenna Susy (Susanne) O'Kada, Sandra Goodman, Bonnie Glenna, Marion and Richard Glenna Mike (Michael) and Sara Onsager, Sherida and Tom Newgard (In order by age: Susy, Sara, Toby, Sherida, Sandy)
This is our cousin, by marriage, Marion Glenna. She was married to Richard Glenna who passed away about four years ago. Richard was Mary Thorud's son. Mary was Grandpa John Oliver's sister. I, Pat Sturges, had a very nice visit with her in Lanesboro, Minnesota last week. She is doing great at 85 years old! She does lots of quilting and donates them all to charities. Her children and their families are all doing great, too. She has something like 29 or more grandchildren and some greatgrandchildren also. I had a fun day with her and her youngest daughter and husband, who were camping in town for the weekend.
We are descendents of Ole Olson Tolrud-Thorud who came from Norway to settle in Minnesota and whose descendents lived there, North Dakota, Oregon and Washington.
