Korn, Marvin Fredrick (23 MAR 1922 - 31 MAR 2018)

Marvin Fredrick Korn, 96, of Stanley, WI, passed away March 31, 2018 at River Bend Senior Living in Rochester, MN while under the care of Heartland Hospice Care.

He was born March 23, 1922, in Stanley, at the home of his parents Fredrick and Olga (Gisvold) Korn. He graduated from Stanley High School, attended Eau Claire Technical Institute, served in the Army-Air Force during WWII, and worked as an accountant for a variety of businesses including Northern States Power Co. and Cardinal Corp. in Stanley WI. In his final job prior to retiring, he partnered with Glenn and Sheryl Hayward starting and growing a successful business, BTI, Inc. of Thorp WI.

During his adult life, he pursued many activities with golf lasting into his early 90’s. He instilled his love for the game of golf to his wife and children. To his credit he honed a scratch golf handicap, with three holes in one, and was shooting bogie golf from the red tees late into his 80’s. He was an avid sports fan with the Green Bay Packers, Wisconsin Badgers, and St. Louis Cardinals landing at the top of his list. Marvin also prided himself with his family, home,
lawn, and organization.

The family wishes to extend their appreciation to the incredible staff at River Bend Senior Living and additional care and support from Heartland Hospice Care, Visiting Angels, and Home Instead Senior Care. The compassion, empathy, and understanding given to Marvin and his family eased his passing.

Marvin is survived by his beloved wife Everine (Gunderson) whom he shared 71 years of marriage, his children David (Janet) of Thorp, WI; Randy (Mary Ann McDermid) of Eau Claire, WI; Jeff (special-friend Julie) of Mounds View, MN; Wendy (Sherwood Peterson) of Rochester, MN; grand-children Joshua (Kristina Owen) son of David and Janet; Alicia daughter of Jeff; Andrew and Hannah son and daughter of Wendy and Sherwood and brother Carlton (Marian) of Stillwater, MN.

Marvin is preceded in death by parents Fredrick and Olga (Gisvold), sister Gracia Lee, brother-in-laws Luverne and Eugene, and sister-in-law Margaret (Babe).

A celebration of his life will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 19, 2018 at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Stanley, WI with Pastor Ken Schmidt officiating. Interment will follow at Evergreen Cemetery.
