Aldeana Viola Korpi
Aldeana V. Korpi, 87, of Cloquet, Minn., passed away Saturday, April 28, 2012, at Sunnyside Health Care Center in Cloquet. She was born Nov. 16, 1924, in Pettibone, N.D., to Christ and Sarah (Rexine) Moser. Great-gramma will be remembered for the mittens and socks she knitted for Christmas and the homemade cream puffs made with real cream we all enjoyed. She lived in Tofte with Harold and logged and worked in the logging camps on the Sawbill Trail, picking pine cones and peeling popple. Gardening, picking berries, bird watching and mowing the lawn were some of the outdoor activities she enjoyed.
