Doreen Gronning Obituary
1938 ~ 2024 (age 86)
The family of Doreen Nancy Gronning sadly announce her passing on Sunday, November 17, 2024.
Doreen is survived by her daughters: Beverly Jackson (Gerry), Sandy Leys (Wayne), Diane Brewer (Oren); grandchildren Austin Lennox, Ryley Jackson, Katherine Brewer and Abby Brewer; and siblings Lily Baysor, Cliff Pederson (Vi) and Marion Gibbs (Brian). She was predeceased by her parents Norman and Martha Pederson, husband Eiwind Gronning, daughter Sharon Gronning.
Doreen's passion was her faith in God and her family.
In 1974 Doreen and her girls were involved in a serious car accident which took her eye sight but not her spirit. Doreen's strong determination and faith pushed her to go through a two month adjustment training at the CNIB in Saskatoon, SK.
She was an inspiration to many people by the way she coped to raise a growing family, cooking, baking and keeping a home. She educated many children at Westberry and Elizabeth school on visual impairment and how to cope with aspects of daily living while being visually impaired.
For many years Doreen used her heightened touch to treat many clients in Reflexology treatments.
She was very involved with St. Olaf Church with Ladies Bible Studies, Church Council and prayer groups.
She loved spending time with her grandchildren playing cards, knitting, gardening and listening to her audiobooks.
Her Memorial Service will be held at St. Olaf's Lutheran Church on Saturday, November 23, 2024 at 11: 00 A.M. with Pastor Scott Kopperud officiating.
The family would sincerely like to thank all the nurses and staff at Heritage Manor for the excellent care mom received.
We would also like to extend a special thank you to all the home care workers who provided love and true compassion to our mom.
