I retired from a major corporation and am celebrating 49 years of marriage. Three grown daughters and seven grandchildren (who are the light of my life). I love genealogy. My original family immigrated to North Dakota (the Swedes) and Minnesota (the Norwegians). I lived many years in central Illinois but moved to Nashville TN in July 2023. I generally visited my family origins in Minnesota and North Dakota yearly and remain close to many of my extended family.

Have been managing Find a Grave records since 2014. If a memorial does not have a manager, I willingly accept them. If you are a family member, I would be glad to transfer any memorial to you. Members are welcome to use the photographs I've taken. Please use the "EDIT" tab on any memorial page for edits, corrections and transfers.

Upon my death I authorize any of my memorials to be transferred. However, I want whoever accepts a transfer to NOT remove any pertinent information or obituaries. The memorials can be transferred to any Find a Grave contributor as they are requested, with preference given to family.

Some family names in my Swedish branch are Swanson, Olsen, Olson, Lindblom, Jonsson, Cossette, Albrecht, Wedlund, Knutson. In the Norwegian branch of my family: Dalen or Dahlen, Bjordahl or Bjordal, Dedon, Wright, Holmbo. My husband's family names are Sommars, Sackman, Peters, Coffman, Michel, Krueger, Kramer and Wilhelm.
