Storkamp was born June 5, 1951 in St. Cloud to Clifford and Leona (Wipper) Goenner. She married Timothy Storkamp on Oct. 15, 1977 at St. Marcus Catholic Church in Clear Lake. She graduated from St. Cloud Vocational and worked for Brown Boveri from 1974-1983. In 1985, she joined the IT department at St. Cloud State University, finally retiring in June 2011.
Storkamp was the heart of her extended family. Her love of life was apparent in all she did. To meet her was an experience that left a lasting impression. Whether it was the weekly Saturday get-togethers or the holiday celebrations; all were welcome and the laughs were plentiful. Her laugh would carry across a crowded room and started deep in her belly. Family was held so close, and friends soon became family.
Storkamp worked hard but had an uncanny ability to make work fun. She loved being in the country, working in her gardens, watching birds and other wildlife, riding horses, crossword puzzles, fishing and traveling. She was always up for a great adventure, fun shenanigans and being the number one fan at all her grandkids’ events.
Storkamp brought so much joy, exuded such strength, was the eternal optimist and fiercely independent. She was the most genuine person.
Her body lost the battle with cancer, but her spirit and memory live on in each person who was lucky enough to have known her.
Survivors include the following: her daughters, Nicky (Mike) Folkerts of St. Joseph and Tracy (Brian) Zinken of Becker; grandchildren, Zander and Lily Folkerts of St. Joseph and Lila and Brody Zinken of Becker; brothers and sisters, Leon (Julie) Goenner of Foley, Doreen (Terry) Dumonceaux of Foley, Bonnie (Duane) Gohman of Clear Lake, and Lisa (Mike) Nielson of Cedar.
She was preceded in death by her parents; and husband Tim in 2015.
