Helen Clenora Kompen was born April 1, 1920 in Lyon County, Minnesota to Gudbrand and Julia (Broughton) Kompen. She grew up on her parents farm in the Erie area and attended country school nearby. She was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith.

On February 9, 1947 Clenora was united in marriage to Alfred James Iverson at Trinity Lutheran Church, Thief River Falls. The couple purchased a farm in Star Township of Pennington County, and worked together there until Alfreds death in 1999. Her failing health led to her residence at the CNC Unit at Northwest Medical Center.

Clenora was a member of Ekelund Lutheran Church. She was devoted to her sons and loved visiting with her family. She was an excellent cook.

Clenora is survived by her son, Leslie Iverson, Goodridge, MN; sisters, Hilda Hoffman and Agnes Jensen both of Thief River Falls and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by husband, Alfred; son, Gary on February 11, 2004, and brother Alvin Kompen.
