At age 99, Alma Christensen, of Pine River and formerly Pequot Lakes, died Dec. 2, leaving a legacy that s guaranteed to persist.
Christensen had many claims to fame, though perhaps none was so well known as her nickname The Lady of the Woods. She grew up during the Great Depression, when she and her family learned to thrive amidst difficulty in any way they could. In addition to an indomitable will and drive, she learned the skills that would mark her as the foremost local expert on wild foods and their preparations for years to come.
