Keith Abrahamson

Keith Glen Abraham-

son, 69, Bismarck, died at

his home on July 22,

2022, from metastatic

pancreatic cancer.

He was born in Rolla,

North Dakota, on January

17, 1953, to Glen and

Vivian (Hofstad) Abra-

hamson.

Keith graduated from

Dunseith High School, the

Turtle Mountain School

of Paramedical Tech-

nique, and Minot State

University. He also re-

ceived training in nuclear

medicine and ultrasound.

Most of his career, he was

an ultrasound technolo-

gist with ARDMS certifi-

cations in OB/GYN, Abdo-

men, and Adult Echocar-

diography.

At various times in his

career, Keith was em-

ployed at Trinity Health,

Northern Medical Imag-

ing, Quain & Ramstad

Clinic, MedCenter One

(now Sanford), and CHI

St. Alexius Heart & Lung

Clinic.

Keith was a long-time

member of AIUM (Ameri-

can Institute of Ul-

trasound in Medicine),

SDMS (Society of Diag-

nostic Medical Sonogra-

phy), and the Elks.

He married Valerie

Nordstrom in 1977 and

they had two children:

Angela and Adam.

Keith was a tinkerer

and loved gadgets. As

friends and family know,

if you needed a part for

something, there was a

good chance he’d have it

amongst his collection of

auction finds. If he didn’t

have it, he’d come up

with a duct taped version.

Keith was always ready to

help.

He is survived by his

wife, Valerie; daughter,

Angela (Jason Erickson)

Abrahamson; son, Adam

(Shannon) Abrahamson;

grandson, Logan Abra-

hamson; brothers, David

(Marsha) Abrahamson

and Randy (Lori) Abra-

hamson; sister-in-law, Al-

ice Abrahamson;

brothers-in-law, Neal

(Kathy) Nordstrom and

Scott Nordstrom.

He was preceded in

death by his parents;

brothers, Gary Abraham-

son and Larry Abraham-

son; and in-laws, Ruben

and Gail Nordstrom.

Cremation has taken

place and there will be a

memorial service at a fu-

ture date.

In lieu of flowers, the

family prefers memorials

be directed to CHI Health

at Home Hospice.
