Corrine Tyberg

Corrine E. Tyberg, Grantsburg, passed away peacefully Saturday, May 28, 2016, at Continuing Care Center, Grantsburg, WI, under the care of Regional Hospice. She was born August 28, 1920, to Axel and Hazel Danielson, of Trade River, where she was raised on a farm. Brothers, Robert and Roger, completed the family. Corrine graduated from Grantsburg High School in 1938 and attended Teachers College in Rivers Falls. Her teaching career found her teaching at Midway School and Wood Lake Graded. During the Second World War she worked for Standard Oil in Chicago. In 1946 Corrine married Rudolph Tyberg and moved to Grantsburg where they raised daughters, Patricia and Betty. In addition to her homemaking career, Corrine was employed as Burnett County Register in Probate, Deputy Clerk of Court, and secretary to county judge Harry Gunderson. She was also actively involved in community activities including the Grantsburg Women’s Club where she was instrumental in starting the public library in the early 1950s. In her retirement years she volunteered at the public library and at the community food bank. Corrine especially thrived in her commitment to her Lord through church activities at Grace Baptist Church. Among her activities she taught Sunday school for 50 years, served as church clerk, deaconess, leader for AWANA and Girls Missionary Guild, sang in the choir, directed Christmas programs, and held leadership positions in women’s mission circles and the library committee. Corrine enjoyed traveling with her family in the U. S. and Europe, entertaining friends and family, sewing clothes, needlecraft, and reading. Her family will remember her as a woman who actively lived her Christian faith, and showed generosity and kindness to others expecting little in return. She is preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Rudy; and her brothers, Robert and Roger Danielson. Survivors include her daughters, Pat (Ron Hughes) and Betty (Ralph Beer); grandchildren: Bjorn Beer (Amanda) and Corie (Patrick Jones); and great granddaughter, Freya Beer; as well as nephews and nieces. The family wishes to acknowledge with gratitude the care Corrine received at both Shady Knoll and Continuing Care Center in Grantsburg. Special thanks go to Carol Ahlquist for her professional and personal guidance through the past three years. The services honoring the life of Corrine Tyberg will be conducted Sunday, July 3, 2016. The committal and burial will be at Riverside Cemetery, Grantsburg, at 2:00 pm, followed by a memorial service at Grace Baptist Church at 3:00 pm, with Pastor Brad Moore officiating.
