Maurine M. Behle — and her twin sister — were born on Dec. 25, 1920, to Edward C. and Rosetta A. Steele Behle in Armstrong Township. In her younger years, she was very active in

4-H. She was raised in the Alden area and graduated from Alden High School in 1940.

She was united in marriage to Earl A. Levisen on July 10, 1946, at Concordia Lutheran Church of Pickerel Lake. From this union, three children were born.

Maurine was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, serving on the altar guild, Ladies Aid and various circles. She started working at Woolworth’s Dime Store and later worked at Skinner Chamberlane Department Store, Herberger’s, and The Yarn Shop where she employed her talents in knitting and crocheting. Maurine was a member of the Danish Brotherhood. In her free time, she enjoyed knitting, sewing, gardening and fishing. In 2009, she moved to Inver Glen Senior Living in Inver Grove Heights, where she sang in the choir, played in the band, volunteered at the preschool, attended bible study and taught knitting classes.
