The couple made their home on a farm near Dennis’s parents. In 1972 they purchased a farm near Karlstad where they raised their family. In 1980 they began milking cows where they resided until 2003 when they moved across town to a farm north of Karlstad. She worked hard and taught the kids to be responsible workers and said those were the best of times as we all worked together.
They went on many dairy trips through the Red River Valley Dairy Association and Debbie was active on the Land-O-Lakes regional board and the American Dairy Association. They traveled on trips to Mexico, Hawaii, and went on numerous camping trips with family. After retirement they spent January through March at Laguna Beach Christian Retreat in Florida.
