Katherine Elvira Quarve was born September 19, 1920 to parents, John O. and Katherine Jacobson in Rushford, Minnesota. She met and married Walter Quarve in 1939, together having one son, Leon, and remained married until Walter's passing in 1993. Katherine worked at the Boeing factory in Denver during the second world war. After the war, Katherine and husband Walter managed the golf course in Rushford. In 1955, the couple and their son moved to Lake City, where Katherine spent the rest of her life working at the Lake City Country Club and eventually the Coffee Mill Golf Course in Wabasha before final retirement. Katherine was also a homemaker and animal rights activist, initiating and running the Hiawatha Valley Humane Society operations in the Lake City area.
