Heather Kramer

Heather Kramer, 50, of Langdon, ND, passed away Wednesday, February 7, 2024, at her home.

Heather Rae Kramer was born May 11, 1973, to Darrold and Susan (Carrier) Kramer. She graduated from Rolla High School and continued her education at UND in Grand Forks, ND, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in social work and had her two sons, Alex and Cole. Heather worked as a social worker for PATH for a number of years. She then decided to do something totally different and opened up Mama Maria’s Pizza Shop in Grand Forks.  While she was working and raising her two sons, she was also a foster parent to many children. Heather was a caretaker. She took care of her family, her foster kids, beloved animals, and was always willing to help people out in any way she could. She enjoyed gardening, canning, and was very crafty, and even sold some of her antiques and artwork at art shows. More recently, she was a member of the Langdon Eagles Auxiliary and volunteered her time to their projects. Above all, she really loved her two sons.

Surviving Heather are her sons: Cole Hoover (Shannon) of Grand Forks, ND, and Alex Hoover of St. John, ND; father Darrold Kramer (Ai-Ling) of California; grandmother Francis Carrier of Walhalla, ND; step-dad Wayne Kartes; siblings: Matt (Jenny) Kartes, Tara Kartes, and Darrold Kramer Jr. (Lupe) of California; nieces Lucy and June; friend Amy Voss; and many special cousins and friends. She was preceded in death by her mother, Susan.

Services will be held at a later time.
