Patricia Gorman Funeral

Friday, December 6, 2024 | 11:00 AM

Helen Patricia “Pat” Gorman, née Rowan, of Edina, formerly of Chicago, IL, passed away peacefully on November 24, 2024. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, John A. “Jack” Gorman; her sister, Mary "Honey" Rowan and her parents, Agnes and Patrick J. Rowan.

Pat is survived by her devoted sons, John A. Gorman Jr. of Kyoto, Japan, and Patrick T.R. Gorman (Theresa) of Madison, New Jersey. She was a loving and proud grandmother to Jack, Finn, and Kate Gorman of Madison, NJ. Pat’s warmth, kindness, sense of humor and unyielding love for her family impressed all who knew her and she will be deeply missed.

Pat was a trailblazer. In the 1950s when career paths for women were limited, she became a flight attendant for Eastern Airlines. In the 1970s, she studied Hatha Yoga and went on to become an in demand community education instructor across the southern suburbs. In the 1980s, after the Supreme Court ruled against gender discrimination, she fought for and regained the position at Eastern Airlines she had been forced to resign upon marriage. Widowed at an early age, Pat’s greatest pride was her family. In her sons and grandchildren, she encouraged a strong appreciation of their Irish roots, a desire to explore other cultures, and a strong hope to make the world a better place.

Visitation will be at 10:00 AM, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial. Interment will follow at Resurrection Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to the Foundation to Advance Vascular Cures for research into cures for Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).

Bea Manske Funeral

Wednesday, December 4, 2024 | 11:00 AM

On November 20, 2024, one day shy of her 94th birthday, our wonderful, brave, loving, generous, spunky, very hilarious mother decided it was time to step out of the body that had served her so well, but was "just worn out" (her words) and move on to her next adventure.

Bea began her wonderful life on November 21, 1930, in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. After completing high school, she moved to the "big city" where she became a registered nurse and worked at General Hospital and Abbott Northwestern, both in Minneapolis.

Her greatest love was her family. Bea loved and was loved by her six children, Glenn (Jane) Manske, Jill (Michael) Manske, Lori (Tim) Wente, Kipp (Maria), Manske, Robyn (Paul) Kruger, and Toni (Robb) Schwartz. Her busy “Bea-hive” was also filled with her sixteen grandchildren, William, Katie, CeeBie, Katrin, Steven, Natalie, Derek, David, Sarah, Mike, Nadine, Molly, Tony, Ryan, Julie, and Megan, and 12 great-grandchildren.

Bea is survived by her brother William Krump of Morris, MN; 27 nieces and nephews; and too many friends to count, including her dear friend Joy,[1]  with whom she shared many lunches and adventures.

She was preceded in death by her loving and much missed husband, William (Bill) Manske; parents, Adolph and Loraine; sisters, Marlys (Bob) Haedrich, Lorraine ("Smitty" Smith, and Harold) Lemke, JoAnn (Darrell "Lefty") Miller; and brothers, Norman (Marion) Krump, Chuck (Mary) Krump, and Peter (Joan) Krump.

A Memorial Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated with visitation one hour prior. Private burial at Fort Snelling National Cemetery.

We won the mom lottery. She will be missed forever.

Memorials preferred to the Loraine Witt Krump Scholarship, St. Catherine University, or St. Jude Children’s Hospital.
