HIBBING â It has been just a week since Kaylie and Kacie Majkich created a sister bond that brought the two â already close â even closer than ever. And, already, Kaylie is âfeeling 20 times betterâ thanks to her older sisterâs most generous gift.
On July 15, Kacie, 25, donated one of her kidneys to little sister, Kaylie, 22. The two, both of Hibbing, are recovering at a rental property in Rochester, Minn., near the Mayo Clinic, where the surgery was performed.
A benefit to help pay for living expenses as the sisters grow stronger, and Kaylie continues to receive medical care at the Mayo, is planned for July 30, at the Cobb Cook Grocery in Hibbing, 3817 1st Ave.

Carol (Tamminen) Peterlin, 84, of Eveleth, took the hands of her parents, in her home on Monday, Dec. 7, 2020, after a courageous battle with dementia/Alzheimerâs.
She was born Dec. 29, 1935, to Ida and August Tamminen of Sparta. She married her high school sweetheart Albin (Gabe) Peterlin Jr. on July 29, 1953. Together they raised six children in their home in West Eveleth.
Carol was very talented at crafting. From ceramics, sewing, cross-stitch, sequin work and drawing she could do it all. She was also known as one of the best potica makers in the area, using an old family recipe. She sold most of it in and around the area but also in many other states. She was approached by The Vermont Country Store and asked to sell the recipe for use in their catalog, she declined, leaving it with her family.
