Vivian Abrahamson, a daughter of Bjarne and Aasta (Ryan) Hofstad, was born on August 11, 1927 on the family farm near Ambrose, ND.  She was raised there and graduated from Crosby High School.  On June 17, 1951, she married Glen Abrahamson at Ambrose, ND.  Following their marriage, they lived and farmed in the Turtle Mountains near St. John, ND.  She worked side by side on the farm with her loving husband, milking cows, doing the books and everything in between. Glen passed away on September 30, 1985.  Vivian remained on the farm.

Vivian's kitchen was always opened for any friends or stranger that Glen brought into their home and they left with a full belly and a smile.  Vivian sewed and patched for 2 generations.  She always loved time spent with family and friends.  She enjoyed gardening, canning and fishing.  In her golden years, she started creating homemade cards for all her children, grandchildren and other loved ones.  Vivian will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed.
