Ralph Korman passed away on March 14, 2024, at Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital with his family by his side.
“On September 25, 1932, in the afternoon an early snowstorm was moving in and my mother decided it was time for me to greet the world. The place was Granny Korman’s house in Saco, Montana located in Phillips County. Born to Earl and Lola (Stewart) Korman. “Had a good life growing up on the Milk River below Juneburg Bridge.”
“Put two years in the Army 1954-1956. Married Alice Soennichsen on April 26, 1957, and had four kids: Karla, Kathy, Jack, and one stillborn Joel.”
Ralph spent his early years around horses and enjoyed that part of his life immensely. Later he ran a D7 Cat and scraper, building reservoirs and leveling fields, until his retirement. He was talented and liked to draw, paint and sculpt.
Preceding him in death are his wife, Alice, parents, Earl and Lola, and son, Joel.
He is survived by his daughters, Karla Sudbrack and Kathy (John) Anevski; and son Jack; sisters, Carolyn (Gus) Korb, Susan (Michael) Wendland, and Nancy (John) Sparks; Terry (Donna) Korman and Ronnie (Maxine) Korman; grandchildren; Christopher (Erica) Anevski, Michael (Deidra) Anevski, and Jenna Korman; great-grandchildren: Mikai Anevski, Daelyn Anevski, and Calvin Anevski; and numerous nieces and nephews.
“So Long see you all later!”

From personal experience I know how hard it is to lose a brother, a father. Feel blessed that you got to keep him in your life for so many years longer than so many people do. Mourn his death, yes, but celebrate his life and keep your memories close. My thoughts and prayers go out to each and every one of you.

I enjoyed many visits with Ralph & Karla at Sweet Memories. Ralph was always up for a great discussion or able to share an interesting story, especially of local history.
Karla—may the memories of your father make you smile while our Lord wraps you in the warmth of His comfort & peace 🙏
