Mor Mor is Norwegian for Mother's Mother.
The definition of our Mor Mor is much more complex than this.
Jenny Birkeland Larsen
Mother to Alan and Lily, grandmother to Alan, Jr., Geoff, Jon, and Allison, great-grandmother of Tommy, Makenna, Mallory, Tori, Chase, and Annika. Knitter of scarves and hats that have been kept looking brand new to pass down to heirs. Crocheter of Christmas stockings, bedspreads, Christmas angel toppers, and more baby blankets than could ever be counted. World War II nurse. Beloved wife. Immigrant to America in the 40s. Fantastic storyteller. Loved dog owner. Patient teacher. Farmer's daughter. Maker of lefse bread that would leave you begging for just one more piece. Sneaker of uneaten morsels to Thor, Auggie, and I'm sure Freya too. Great cook. Author of witty remarks. Committed Lutheran church member.
An honorable Godly woman.
She will be missed dearly.
She loved us, and we have been blessed by her life.
Mallory, Mor Mor, Tori, Chase, and Annika Thanksgiving 2008
