Frances "Stub" was born March 7, 1935 in Eden, South Dakota to Valentine and Florence (Schlekeway) Thuringer. She grew up on a farm on the shore of Clear Lake and graduated from Sisseton High School in 1953.
On May 5, 1958, Frances married Harlan Peterson at St. Peter's Catholic Church in Sisseton. After their marriage, they made their home in Sisseton. Frances worked for many years at Hull's Super Value. She then spent 10 years as the women and children's apparel and dry goods department manager for Stavig's Department Store. She also sewed for a number of years for Dakotah Industries. Frances was a member and president of the St. Peter's Altar Society. In 1981, Harlan and Stub moved to Browns Valley, Minnesota where they farmed.
Stub was a seamstress of great skill. An avid reader, she was a past member of the Browns Valley Public Library Board. Family-famous for her fried chicken and Long John doughnuts, Stub was also an excellent vegetable and raspberry gardener and canner. Widely renowned by small children as a pushover, she was a small package of boundless energy.
