In memory of Sigrid Festersen

Sigrid Festersen, a longtime member and former leader of Aksarben Curling, passed away last week.

Sigrid was incredibly strong while being warm and gentle. She was exceptionally organized. Her infectious smile could light up a room.

Throughout the history of the Aksarben Curling she led, served, and provided continuity from one generation to the next. She was a terrific curler and an advocate for women's curling everywhere. She saw our organization through successes, setbacks, building moves, and explosive growth.

All future success of curling in Omaha can be traced back to a foundation Sigrid was so deeply involved with.

Sigrid was loved by all and will be missed by those of us lucky enough to call her a friend.

Sigrid's family kindly shared some wonderful photos of her curling, representing both Aksarben Curling and the United States at a number of curling events throughout the years. We're pleased that we can share them with you.

We'll cherish the memories we have of Sigrid and the many ways that she supported the curling community in the greater Omaha area.
