- Dorothy Clara Corneliusen
Berry, beloved wife, mother,
grandmother, sister, and
aunt, passed away February
7, 2023 at the age of 90.
Born January 7, 1933
to Ingvald and Helen Inman Corneliusen in Salol,
Minnesota. On January 16, 1954, Dorothy married Fred
Berry and they have been married 69 years.
Dorothy enjoyed many activities throughout her life.
She enjoyed snowmobiling, hunting, fishing, crafting,
gardening, and sewing. She was an immaculate
housekeeper and you would be hard pressed to find
anything out of place. She was an excellent cook and
prepared many wonderful meals from the game that
she and Fred harvested throughout the years. She could
hunt and dress an elk or deer with the best of them,
and Fred will attest to that as he stayed out of her way
on a few occasions. Dorothy’s family always came first
and if you had the misfortune of coming between her
and her family you would experience the wrath of the
Corneliusen temperament.
Dorothy is survived by her husband, Fred, Grand
Junction, CO; daughter, Debora (Jeff) Poloni,
Henderson, NV; son, Dale Berry, Grand Junction,
CO; granddaughter, Jeana Poloni, Kent, WA;
brothers, Harold (Audrey) Corneliusen; Wayne (Janet)
Corneliusen; sisters, Irene Pearson; Karen (Les) Staff;
and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in
death by her parents; sister Adeline; brothers, Donald
and Harvey; and grandson, Kris Poloni.
A memorial service will be held February 12, 2023, at
1:00 PM at Callahan-Edfast Mortuary, 2515 Patterson
Road, Grand Junction, Co.
Funeral Services and Interment will follow at a later
date under the direction of Helgeson Funeral Home,
Warroad, MN.
