Liz Christianson, 55,
Minot, died Sunday, July
26, 2020 in her home.
Liz was born on January
17, 1965 in Fargo ND,
daughter of Howard and
Barb Fjeld (Schieve).
She was raised and edu-
cated in Burlington gra-
duating from Des Lacs
Burlington in 1983. Fol-
lowing graduation she
married, shortly after she
was blessed with the birth
of her son. They moved to
Oregon with then hus-
band and she was blessed
with her daughter. They
lived there for a brief time
before she and her two
children moved back to
Minot. She was employed
at her mother’s restaurant
located in the bowling al-
ley where she met the
love of her life Wade
Christianson. They were
married on December 23,
1994 and made their
home in NW Minot and
grew their family with
two more kids. Liz
worked for Food Manage-
ment Investors (FMI). In
January, she had just re-
ceived her 25 years of ser-
vice. FMI was more than a
job to Liz, they were part
of the family.
Liz was a strong, hard-
working and fiercely dedi-
cated woman in all as-
pects of her life. Some of
her accomplishments
started at the young age of
12 where she won
numerous awards and
medals for her rifle shoot-
ing abilities including ND
State Champion Sub-
Junior Small Bore at age
14. She was involved with
many sports in high
school including drill
team, basketball and track
where she excelled. Liz
was a member of a bowl-
ing league with her moth-
er and grandmother in
which they attended
weekly league nights and
won many tournaments.
There was no denying
her love and passion for
horses. On any given day,
after work, you would
find her out in the pasture
or down in the barn. The
barn was her heaven here
on earth. She was a
member of Minot Trail
Riders for 20 plus years
where she served as a
board member and
President for the last 6
years. She attended many
horse shows and events
with her horse family. Her
love for horses will live
on through her daughters,
grandkids and the village.
