Gloria M. Ofsthun passed away peacefully on September 29, 2019.
A lifelong resident of Minneapolis, the North Shore was her beloved second home for over 60 years. Whether in a tent in the Rec Park, a condo in Tofte, a small resort cabin in Croftville, the Best Western in Grand Marais, or more recently, a family cabin overlooking Lake Superior, this was where she wanted to be if she wasn’t at home.
The trips up north included the usual: a glazed at World’s Best, pizza at My Sister’s Place or Sven & Ole’s, dinner at the Harbor Inn, the Blue Water, or the Angry Trout, breakfast at SOB, a soda or cone at Leng’s.
Hikes to Eagle Mountain, Britton Peak, Magnetic Rock, and Blueberry Hill were common, along with picnics at Devil’s Track, Kimball Lake, and Paradise Beach.
Memorials to Arrowhead Animal Rescue or donor’s choice.
