Obituary
MOUNT HOREB- Corinne L. “Connie” Peterson, age 91 of Mount Horeb, Wis., passed away Monday, Jan. 29, 2024. She was born in La Crosse, Wis., on June 8, 1932.
Corinne is survived by her children, Deborah (Mike), Diana (David), David (Susan), Daniel (Darolanne) and Mary (Joel); 15 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard; son, Donald Robert; grandson, Daniel; great-grandson, Atley; parents, Lillian and Frank; and siblings, Jimmy, Frank, Robert, Don, Bill and Ruth (Tucky).
Connie was grounded in her Christian faith and was born again when she was 40. She walked in step with the Holy Spirit, staying close to Jesus and standing on the truth of God's Word for 52 years. Connie was extremely generous with her time, faith, and capacity to serve others with Bible studies in her home, a 36-year nursing home music ministry and sharing the gospel with others. She always took time to pray with the residents individually and brought so many new believers to Christ. She loved to cook, bake, go ballroom dancing, and celebrations, especially birthdays and holidays.
A Special Message from Grandma herself called, "Only A Step."
Do not grieve for me, my dear ones now that I have gone away
I've only stepped quietly through the door to the dawn of a brighter day
If you could see the beauty of the garden I'm walking through
If you could feel the touch of his hand, you would want to walk here, too
If you could see the sunshine with no dark shadows lurking near
If you could know the joy supreme, I find with my Lord so dear
Where pain no more can touch me
Where no sorrow can ever be
You would be glad I slipped away to this beautiful land of eternity
