She was raised and received her education in the Loyal area, graduating from Loyal High School in 1967. Kris then attended UW-Stout to study clinical nutrition. Just prior to her senior year of college, Kris was united in marriage to Dean C. Schweiger on Aug. 15, 1970, at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Curtiss.
