Kathleen Kaseman, our beautiful, generous, and much-loved wife and mother, moved to heaven May 29, 2022.
Diana Kathleen Kaseman was born January 20, 1943, in Bismarck, North Dakota, the daughter of Sidney and Amalia “Mollie” (Evans) Nielsen. She grew up on a dairy farm north of Mercer, North Dakota.
