Known to many of her friends and relatives as ?Liz? or ?Betty?, she married Einar Jaderborg who brought her to Lindsborg in 1943. As a non-Swede in a community founded by Swedish immigrants who held fast to their traditions, she became intrigued by the community?s history and brought it to life for its children?s children through her research and writings.
