Beatrice Charlotte Lockrem was born March 18, 1923 on the family farm east of Dennison in Sogn Valley, daughter of Austin and Malvina (Estrem) Lockrem. She was raised on the farm and attended the country school located on Highway 56 near their home. She then began working at the Laura Baker School in Northfield. In the early 1960s she learned how to drive a car and moved to the Twin Cities and began working as a cook in a nursing home until retirement. “Beat”, as she was known to her nieces and nephews, then began caring for elderly people in their homes for a number of years, including Ida Strand Edlo Solum, and her aunt Valborg Husbyn. In 1985 she moved back to the family farm to provide care for her sister Gladys King who had been diagnosed with cancer. Following Gladys’s death in 1988 she remained on the farm with her brother-in-law Alva King and cousin Theodora Remmen. Beatrice was an independent person and was always a caregiver. She was beloved by her nieces and nephews and enjoyed playing games and having them spend the night. She was an avid reader of Readers Digest, and liked to write letters. She belonged to the Vang Ladies Aid and enjoyed helping with their Lutefisk Dinner. In her free time she enjoyed sewing, had a large vegetable garden every year which included canning her prized tomatoes, and liked to bake. Beatrice Lockrem is survived by brother Austin (Louise) Lockrem of Northfield and her nieces and nephews; Alice Oleson, Bob, Alan, and David King, Gary, Ronnie, and Marvin Lockrem, Lucy Wefel, Harry and Richard Lockrem, Ann Albert and Lori Lockrem. She was preceded in death by her parents, sister Gladys King and brothers Lawrence and Marvin Lockrem.
