Kari Kvamme

Kari was born on February 11, 1964 in Wadena, Minnesota to Kenneth and Marilyn (Brenna) Kvamme. She was raised in Wadena and Verndale and graduated from Verndale High School. She lived for 25 years on her farmstead near Verndale, and worked for over twenty years at the Shady Lane Nursing Home in Wadena.

Faith, family and friends were her focus in life.
