On June 19, 2022, Jesus took the hand of Kristina Lynn Swenson, and walked her to her Heavenly home. Kristina was born on November 4, 1977, in Williston, ND, the daughter of Cary Swenson and Sandra Ahmann. She attended elementary school in Grand Forks, ND and high school in Williston, ND.

Kristina has two children, Jesse Wayne Swenson, 18 and Julianna Becker, 17. Kristina loved reminiscing about her childhood adventures with her two children. She told so many stories that her children say they had almost lived the adventures themselves. Some of her fondest memories were on the farm. She loved horseback riding, driving golf carts, picnics in the field, riding the combine, and of course golfing.

At an early age, Kristina realized her passion was cooking and baking. She carried that passion throughout her life. She worked at Sons of Norway, NDSU Sorority, and local bakeries, such as Cynthia’s Custom Cakes, where she learned the craft of cake decorating. She regularly cooked extravagant meals for her family and dreamed of opening her own restaurant one day. Her love of cooking also inspired her two children to work towards culinary degrees.

In the past year, she fulfilled two of her dreams. She purchased a charming home built in the early 1900’s, which she enjoyed decorating. You could also see her cruising around the streets of Fargo in her dream car, a 1972 Chevelle.

Kristina is survived by; her dad, Cary Swenson (Renee); her mom, Sandra Ahmann; her sister, Keily Chavez; her son, Jesse Swenson; her daughter, Julianna Becker; her aunt, Nancy Rudolph; her uncle, Terry Rudolph, and her cousin, Ashley (Brent) Mucha.
