With sadness and disbelief I am letting you know that our classmate Karin Sandvig has passed away unexpectedly. Here is the funeral info: a very simple, basic service at Muellers, across from St. Mary's on Bald Eagle Avenue. There will be an obit on Sunday 6/16 in the Pioneer Press. Service is Tuesday 6-18-2024. Visitation from 10 to 11, prayer service at 11, then burial after. The burial is at Evergreen across from Lakewood/Century College on 120. Karin retired early, from MN State of Touism Board, to help take care of her dad, Ron, who moved into assisted living. Mom, Betty, made the move also. Ron passed two years later, for last seven years Karin was involved with care taking for her mom, and making she was doing well. That she did very well!! I met Karin in typing class in 10th grade, the first "Sunrise" friend I made, with that she introduced me to eight more of which still in contact with five classmates. She loved to golf, ski, watch tv, root on girls sports of any kind, sail her little sunfish. I remember she really really wanted to be the mascot bear--and did for a basketball game. Broomball, that was so much fun. Being invited to go to a family cabin at Carnelian with a car full of other gals. Ski trip to Canada, just north of MN-have to ask for "gravy" with your fries and bowling-the bowling balls are about the size of bocce balls. Skiing locally after work on Thursdays. Free round of drinks at the old bar on 3rd and Washington, Bob (?) the owner would look after us girls, if some guys came in and he could tell not interested in them hanging around, he'd shoe them away saying, say Bob and Larry left a message, they are running late and will be here soon, then bring us a pitcher of beer. A group of us, 8 to 10, canoed and camped along St. Croix with in days of graduating, the planning, the current, the fun we had!! Rest in peace dear friend, you will be missed.
