Glora, 95, died peacefully in her sleep on Wednesday, February 25, 2009. Glora Viola Earl was born February 24, 1914 the daughter of Olai and Minnie (Hanson Engen) Kjarland in Pleasant Township on the family farm. She was baptized and confirmed at Canoe Ridge Lutheran Church. She was educated in Pleasant Township, district no. 8 country school. She grew up in a traditional rural Norwegian family. She had one sister: Julia Kjarland and seven brothers: Claude Hanson, Henry Hanson, Selmer Kjarland, Ingvold Kjarland, Laurance Kjarland, Lloyd Kjarland and Stanley Kjarland. Glora's fondest childhood memory was cross country skiing. Glora married Lester Foss when she was 19. They had four children - Galen, Donna, Naomi and Roy. Lester died in 1970. They had been married for 37 years. Glora married Emmett Earl in 1971 and they were married for 15 years until his death in 1986. Glora was a homemaker and a gardener. She was a master lefse maker, learning from her grandmother. She loved nature and was an avid bird watcher. Glora's grandchildren were lucky indeed. In the winter, she came up with games like "string the buttons" and "hide the thimble". She read them stories at night and tucked them in under a quilt so heavy they could not move. In summer, it was the sand box, dress up, tag and red rover. On occasion, she would get out her coin purse and dispense the precious few coins she had to her grandchildren who were huddled around her like chicks with hands. She somehow always managed to have just enough for everyone for a dime cone or a nickel root beer or spending an hour at Rooney's store searching for just the right piece of candy. When her grandkids took time out from playing, there was always a white sugar sandwich for easy consumption. For the past 22 years Glora lived alone with her dog Tiny. Glora never owned or operated an automobile and enjoyed walking in the fresh outdoors. In September of last year she could walk no more and moved to the Cresco Care Center. Glora is survived by her daughter: Donna Harding; her sons: Galen (Betty) Foss and Roy (Beverly) Foss; her stepson: Arnold (Rita) Earl; 31 grandchildren; 22 great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren. Glora was preceded in death by two husbands; her daughter: Naomi Foss Berg; two grandsons: Robert Harding and Steven Berg; her parents; and eight siblings.
