Betty Kram, age 79, of Cambridge died March 24, 2011 at Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 12:00 noon on Monday, March 28th at Christ the King Catholic Church in Cambridge with Father James David Hahn as Celebrant. Interment will be in the church cemetery.
In loving memory of Betty Lou Mains Kram.
Betty was born on August 26, 1931 in Onamia, Minnesota to Peter and Margaret Mains. She was one of 12 children. Betty graduated from Onamia in 1949. On October 28, 1950 she married Edward William Kram in Onamia. The young couple then moved to Superior, Wisconsin, where a year later, Betty became a mom to the first of her 9 children. On January 1, 1970, the family moved to Cambridge where she lived until her passing. Betty was an avid reader of mainly romance novels, but she could not find the written story that compared to her almost 60 year romance with Ed. Betty loved her family and was always able to lend a hand when it was needed, a laugh to brighten a day, advice and love.
Betty passed away on March 24, 2011 at Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids, Mn. She is preceded in death by her husband, Edward Kram; parents Peter and Margaret(Schnoor)Mains; son Ricky Louis Kram; brothers, Clarence, Harry and Leonard Mains; sisters, Helen Hanson, Anne Gave and Marion Brisbane.
She is survived by her children, Nancy (Steve) Forland of Princeton, Judy (Allen)Welton of Ogilvie, Kenny (Kathy) Kram of Mora, Dennis (Sandra) Kram of Mora, Robin (John Cihak) Marquardt of Ogilvie, Jeff Kram of Princeton, Tina (Dustin) Stradal of Cambridge, and Penny (Chris) Perman of Ogilvie; 33 grandchildren; 30 great-grandchildren; brothers, Harold (Lois) Mains, Richard (Jan) Mains, and Pete Mains; sisters, Ella Mae (Melvin) Baumgartner and Linda (Dan) VanRissegham; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
I wish to express my sympathy regarding your loss of Betty. The Bible encourages us to comfort one another. It is comforting to note that Jesus Christ has power over death. At John 5:28,29 he states that there will be a global resurrection. He gave comfort to many by sharing that hope with his disciples and resurrecting many, proving his power. (John 11:25) Almighty God will end death, tears, pain and mourning as stated at Revelation 21:4. I hope that my sincere condolence will help give you a measure of comfort during this difficult time.

I found this site doing a genealogy search. I’m sorry I didn’t know Betty passed away.
My grandparents were Chris & Lottie, I remember Eddie & Betty from the huge family gatherings as a child.
