Nikka J. Mansfield's Obituary

A graduate of Lincoln High School, she married Harold Mansfield in 1941; they had three children, Joanne (C.G. Gales) Mansfield, Morlin Mansfield, and Christine (Bill) Jay. She became a U. S. Citizen in 1946. Mom took great pride in her Norwegian heritage and traditions which she passed on to her children. She was a long-time member of Embla Lodge of the Daughters of Norway.
