She was baptized and attended the Lutheran Church in Alvord and was later confirmed at Trinity Lutheran Church in Estelline. The family left Iowa in 1925 in a Columbia car with side curtains and moved to a farm near Estelline in the Hidewood Hills. Their furniture and livestock came by train. She attended grade school in Grange Township District #28. She met her husband, Norman Holter at Toronto in 1937, at which time she was working at a store in Salem, SD, and after meeting Norman she left Salem and didn’t go back. They were married on April 5, 1938 and they lived with Adolph and Cece Holter for five months until they got a house of their own. A short time later they moved to a farm northeast of Bruce where they lived until they retired and moved into Estelline in 1981. Norman passed away on March 21, 1996 and she stayed in her home in Estelline until her health required her to move into an assisted living, first in Castlewood for the winters and later full-time at Edgewood Vista in Brookings. After a fall she was transferred to Brookview Manor, The Neighborhoods nursing home where she passed away on Friday, June 5, 2015 at the age of 98 years.
