Cora Lee Newgard
Our precious Cora Lee Newgard, 62, of Polson, went to be with the Lord surrounded by her family on Friday, September 11, 2009 at St. Patrick Hospital in Missoula of natural causes. Cora loved her Heavenly Father and embraced him. She died with dignity and on her own terms. Cora was born in Polson on December 3, 1946 to Mordie and DeLane Newgard. Her father preceded her in death. Cora resided in Boulder, Dillon, Ronan, Polson, and Missoula, Montana. Cora's smile lit up the room. Her loving and joyful spirit touched her friends, family, and caregivers. She was a joy to care for and had a way of making everyone's day a pleasure. We were all blessed to have had her in our lives. She is survived by her mother, DeLane Newgard of Polson: a sister, Barbara (Glen) Knopp of Seeley Lake: a brother, Thomas (Kathie) Newgard of Polson, and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins. Cora's family would like to thank all of her caregivers she had throughout her life. Also, her family would like to extend their gratitude for the exemplary care given to Cora in her final days by the staff on the 5th floor North at St. Patrick Hospital. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Cora's name to the charity of one's choice.
