Kramer, Solveig a Norwegian immigrant, died at Friendship Village of Bloomington, MN, on February 20, 2020. She was 97. She is survived by her two daughters, Kristin Kelly and Carolyn Kelly (David Wolfe), her grandchild Justin Wolfe (Corinne Wolfe), sisters Marian Fronk and Laura Rude, stepdaughters Edith Kramer (Kawin Wilairat) and Ruth Kramer Ziony, and many nieces and nephews. She was pre-deceased by her husbands Justin Kelly and Victor Kramer, her brothers Einar and Olaf Grette, and her stepson Stephen Kramer (Bonita Franklin). The oldest of five children of Sofie and Gullik Grette, Solveig was born in Oslo, Norway, in 1922. She and her parents immigrated to Minnesota, settling in Minneapolis. Solveig graduated from Roosevelt High School and went to the University of Minnesota, interrupting her studies in 1944 to join the WAVES. She served at the Philadelphia Naval Hospital, where she met her first husband, Justin Kelly, a metallurgical engineer originally from Butte, Montana. She then returned to the University to graduate. Solveig and Justin married in 1949 and moved to Germany where he assisted in the recovery of the German steel industry. In 1951, they returned to the United States, where they first lived outside Chicago and then in Darien, CT. After Justin's death in 1959, Solveig and her children returned to Minnesota in 1962. In 1966, she was remarried to Victor Kramer, an antitrust lawyer from Washington, DC. In Washington, she completed a master's degree in Library Science at Catholic University and subsequently worked in the libraries at Gonzaga High School and Immaculata College. Solveig and Victor spent many memorable summers in Northern Michigan. Following Victor's death in 2007, Solveig moved to Friendship Village of Bloomington, MN where she kept active working in the library, exercising, making beautiful needlepoint pillows, and traveling to California for vacations and family events. Solveig was devoted to her immediate family and her many nieces and nephews, as well as to Victor's children and grandchildren. She was an avid reader and inspired others to read as well. She valued the natural world, enjoying birds and flowers wherever she lived. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be made to the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum or the Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden and Bird Sanctuary in Minneapolis. Memorial arrangements are pending.
