Women Opening Wahpeton Gift Shop/Café in Honor of Daughter
Wahpeton, ND – Annie Gjesdal used to tell her mom, Brenda, that she one day would live in the Queen Anne home with the blue wood frame, gable front and towering turret at 86 Dakota Avenue here.
Annie never got the chance.
The 18-year-old was killed in 2009 when her car was struck by a beet truck at a Wahpeton intersection.
But now, Brenda Gjesdal and Linda Kutzer are finding a way for Annie’s spirit to live on in the house she always admired.
The lifelong friends are remodeling the home into what will be a café and gift shop.
