Irma was married to Albert Krueger on October 20, 1940. They lived on a farm at Ormsby, MN, until 1947 when they moved to Tilney farm in Truman, MN. In the fall of 1956 they moved to the Ray Flynn farm in Beardsley. In the fall of 1998, she moved to the apartments in Graceville. Albert passed away January 9, 2000.

Irma was an active member of Bethlehem Lutheran Church. Served as President, Secretary/ Treasurer of Ladies Group for many years. She was also a charter member of Chat N' Chew Club, acting as Chairman and Secretary/Treasurer.
She loved her family, grandchildren and great-grandchildren dearly. Irma spent many happy hours making their favorite meals and serving Schwan's ice cream, playing games and cards and just going for walks with them. She enjoyed having her long 'special talks' with them and writing in and sharing her 'religious folder'.
A little message to leave for my loved ones with; Don't cry for me, and don't ever forget I loved everyone of you dearly. I hope I meant enough to all of you, so you will have some special memories to cling to.
