I grew up in Fosston, and after college came back to the area where I got married and raised our three girls. We lived in Gonvick for about 10 years (in the 90's/early 2000's) but have been back in Fosston ever since.


I started working with monuments as a teenager helping my dad (Larry Juve) who had a small business selling, leveling and repairing monuments. He taught me everything I know. I helped him with installations, or anything he needed help with. After he passed away in 1996, I continued his business and have been serving families ever since. We are excited about our new partnership with Tim & Rhonda, and the opportunity to serve families together.
