Ardis Sylvia Krahmer was born May 10, 1922, to Frank Abraham and Louise Amanda (Ask) Krahmer in Fraser Township. They farmed in Fraser, Martin County and Ardis attended Fairmont School and Madelia High School. At Madelia High, she played clarinet and excelled in band. On July 18, 1939, she was united in marriage to Victor Charles Perrine at Estherville, Iowa. After their marriage, they farmed near Madelia in partnership with Victor's father, Eugene, until moving to a farm near Sebeka, Minnesota. They farmed there until purchasing 40 acres near Wadena and farmed that until moving to a 180-acre farm in the Fairmont-Welcome area to farm with Ardis' father, Frank Krahmer. They raised livestock and crops and after retiring in 1982, they moved into Welcome.
Ardis was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Welcome. She was a member of National Farmers Organization and a charter member of the Martin County NFO, which was organized in the 1960s and she served as secretary for several years. Ardis enjoyed reporting the Welcome news and weather on KSUM Radio and gathering and writing the Welcome news for the West Martin Weekly and The Star for many years. She also enjoyed being a volunteer and helping children learn to read at the Welcome school.
Ardis was kind-hearted, and a loving wife and mother. She was thoroughly grateful for her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
