Born on December 12, 1969, in Fargo, ND, she was a graduate of Ada High School and pursued further education at Moorhead State College.

An avid lover of animals, she was a wonderful pet owner and recently found joy in birdwatching, enjoying the beauty of her wooded backyard. Her love for the outdoors extended to her passion for hiking, water skiing, swimming, and lifeguarding.

She is survived by her mother, Carolynn (Dale Rostberg); sister, Kari Leen (Joel Schmid); and her step-sister, Kim (Scott) Parks.
