Mrs. Carmen Grove, age 93, of Northfield, died on Wednesday, June 9, 2010, at the Northfield Retirement Center.

Carmen Lucille Peterson, the daughter of Chris and Bertha (Berg) Peterson, was born on March 17, 1917 on a farm east of Northfield. Carmen attended rural county school and graduated from Northfield High School in 1936. After high school, Carmen worked as a waitress at the Ideal Café in Northfield. Later she attended Minneapolis Business College and took the Executive Secretarial Course. After finishing the course, Carmen began working at the Wilkowski Hardware Store in Morristown. Carmen moved back to Northfield and began working at the National Farm Loan Office, a branch of the Federal Land Bank.

In 1943, Carmen and her sister, Esther moved to Bridgeport, Conn., to work. Carmen moved back to Minnesota in 1945 and began working for 3M Company in St. Paul. This is where she met Jerome Grove and they were married on Sept. 6, 1952 at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Northfield.

After her marriage, Carmen was a stay at home mom and raised her family. Jerome died on Oct. 14, 1990.
