Ramona (Monie) M. Klocke, daughter of Hubert and Anna Mary Lies, was born January 15, 1930, at the Lies homestead near New Rockford, ND.   She was raised and educated in the New Rockford area at country school and at St. John's Catholic school.

On October 28, 1948, she was united in marriage to Louis (Lou) J. Klocke in New Rockford.  They farmed in the New Rockford area until 1961 when they moved to the Sykeston area.  They continued farming in Wells County until 1981 when they retired and moved into Fessenden where they resided.

Monie was a member of St Augustine Church, Wells County Central Homemakers club, Christian Mothers Circle, and loved cleaning the St. Augustine church in later years when her and Lou moved into town.  She loved her Holstein cows while on the farm and the sweet cream they produced.  With that cream she would make homemade Carmel rolls that she would generously give to family and friends along with homemade buns.
