Theresa “Terry” Gruenberg

Terry Gruenberg passed

away peacefully in her

home in Anchorage, Alas-

ka after a week of hospice

care. She had moved to

Minot, ND to be closer to

Terry was born in Kra-

mer, ND to Ted and Rose

Naumann. She spent most

of her life in Minot, ND,

and also lived in Roches-

Terry’s occupation was

in administration. She

worked as a Medical Ser-

vices Accounts Officer for

the Air Force Hospital in

Minot, and later as a re-

ceptionist for an

orthopedic surgeon. She

said that “of all the jobs

she had, the most satisfy-

ing and the one that fills

me with the most pride

was being a MOM. To

raise children and to see

them take flight to their

own destinations in life is

the most rewarding thing

a mom can do. And then

to be further rewarded by

new generations of

grandchildren and great

grandchildren is the ulti-

mate satisfaction.”

Her special interests

were baseball, politics,

history and reading.

She is survived by son

and daughter-in-law Steve

and Michelle Kruse of Ea-

gle River and daughter

Karlene Johnson of Ply-

mouth, MN, and
