  Christine Quisley was born on January 15, 1912 in Kalispell, Montana, the 

only child of Ole and May Toner Broten. She was baptized and confirmed at 

the Norwegian Lutheran Church in Slayton. She attended country school in 

western Montana, studied for one year at Slayton High School and 

graduated from Conrad High School in Montana in 1930. She then worked 

summers at Glacier National Park and winters at the Blackfoot Indian 

Agency in Browning, MT. She played in a string orchestra, enjoyed family 

gatherings, and rodeos while living there. She moved to Minnesota in 1934 

and met Burt Quisley. They were married at Northwood, IA on February 28, 

1935. Following their marriage they farmed the Quisley family farm east 

of Slayton. They farmed there until Burt's health failed. Burt passed 

away on December 31, 1993. Christine continued living on the farm and 

moved into Slayton to the Westside Apartments. Due to failing health, she 

entered the Slayton Manor Care Center on October 4, 2003 and she passed 

away there on May 4, 2005 at the age of 93 years. She was a member of 

Christ Lutheran Church where she had served as unit leader, secretary-

treasurer and historian. She loved the outdoors, kept a big yard and 

garden, and enjoyed canning the garden produce, cooking and baking, 

especially Scandinavian food. Crafts, writing letters, family genealogy 

and traveling with her husband, were some of Christine's favorite 

pastimes.
