Kristine was born on October 14, 1947, to Ross and Avis Weyh in Havre. She attended high school in Havre and upon graduation in 1965, went to Northern Montana College and achieved her associate degree. She met her husband, Rex Dramstad, at a football game while attending college at Northern and the couple later married, in 1968.

She worked as a medical secretary in Great Falls for a short time. She returned to Havre to work for Northern Montana College, where she worked in the Business Office, the Financial Aid Office and eventually became the director of Financial Aid, retiring after 33 years.

The couple had one daughter, Lana Kristine. After retiring from the college, Kristine worked for Havre Optometric and later she worked part-time at the Petal Pusher until they closed and then Milam Floral for a short time designing flowers. She said she always enjoyed that job because everyone was happy when they received flowers.

Kristine enjoyed making greeting cards for her friends. They were quite lavish, decorated with lace, ribbons and other materials. These cards were for birthdays, anniversaries or any other cause for celebration. She was a great cook and baker, making many holiday meals for her family.

She enjoyed the time spent with her family and bowling with friends. Her most treasured time was spent with her two grandsons.

She and Rex traveled all over the state with them and were very involved with all of their activities. She always loved being with them any chance she got. In her later years she depended on them more as her health deteriorated.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Rex in 2013; and her daughter, Lana Dramstad in 2018.

She is survived by her sister, Carol Fewer (Pat) of Iowa; two grandchildren, Bryson Robinson and Ethan Stimson; many extended family from the Weyh and Dramstad families, and several friends and co-workers.
