She accepted Christ as her Savior at the age of 12 during an evangelistic meeting led by Herb Rockensock at the Hornet Town Hall.  She was a faithful follower of Christ the rest of her life.  Like her mother, she showed Christ’s love and grace to everyone she met, loving unreservedly.  She had a way of making those who knew her feel special.

She was a wonderful mother and homemaker.  She was especially known for her baking skills, forming perfectly round buns, bread loaves, cinnamon rolls, pies, and cookies.  She enjoyed having coffee with friends and family at her kitchen table. 

Extended family was always very important.  Mom loved being with her people on both sides of the family.  Mom and Dad looked forward to the annual Kilde Reunion at the Hornet Town Hall.  Later mom would attend the reunion now being held at the site of her childhood home. They loved camping at Webster Lake near Blackduck, where local relatives would come to visit.  They also cherished the annual Nicholson extended family campout at McCarthy Beach State Park each September.

In retirement they enjoyed traveling in their conversion van to the North Shore, Southern Illinois, Texas, Florida, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  They attended grandchildren’s college graduations in Greenville South Carolina and a wedding in Ohio.
