Katherine Leona Kruse, the daughter of Martin Sr. and Olina (Nelson) Christensen, was born August 31, 1922, on a farm west of Mapleton, IA. When Katherine was four years old she moved with her parents to a farm east of Oto, IA. She attended country school there until they moved to Mapleton in 1931. She finished the 6th and 7th grades at Mapleton Public School and then moved back to country school for the 8th grade. She graduated from Mapleton High School with the class of 1939. On July 16, 1944, Katherine was united in marriage to Raymond W. Kruse in Coffeyville, KS. Raymond was still in the service at that time, so the couple traveled, lived in apartments, and waited for furloughs until his honorable discharge. In 1946, the couple began farming on Raymond’s dad's farm in Soldier Township then eventually moved north of Mapleton before finding their forever farm in 1951 northwest of Soldier, IA. The couple was blessed with five children: Kathleen, Norma, Raymond, John, and David. Katherine was a homemaker and farm wife while her children were growing up. She enjoyed gardening and raising her chickens. When her children were grown, she worked as a cook at Burgess Hospital in Onawa and as a cook for the Monona County Head Start in Moorhead, IA. Katherine was a lifetime member of St. Peter’s United Church of Christ in Mapleton, was a member of the St. Peter’s UCC women’s fellowship and taught Sunday school. She was also a lifetime member of the Soldier American Legion Auxiliary. Katherine not only loved her family and friends but showed love and kindness to all she met. She believed in passing that love on. She will be dearly missed by her family and friends. Left to cherish her memory include 5 children: Kathleen (Donald) Johnson of Oto, IA, Norma Westerveld of Peoria, AZ, Raymond M. (Lynn) Kruse of Junction City, KS, John (Martha) Kruse of Kearney, NE and David (Kathy Jensen) Kruse of Soldier, IA; 10 grandchildren: Doug (Stephanie) Johnson of Oto, IA, Jeff (Katrina) Johnson of Oto, IA, Lt.
