She lived in Montevideo, Minnesota until after she graduated high school then moved to Washington, D.C. to work for the FBI. She was on the midnight shift which she loved… she was a “night owl”!

She went to Augustana Lutheran Church in Washington, D.C. She met Charles August Bjorson while they were singing the “Hallelujah Chorus” in the choir (he sang bass and she soprano). They were married at the church on April 16, 1955. At the time of her death they had been married 65 years.

In February of 1958, they moved to Rockville, Maryland and have been at this house ever since.
They had three (3) children:
