    EPLN OBITUARIES

    Kara Nicole Christiansen, 31, passed away in Clearwater, Florida, on the morning of April 16, 2025. Kara was born on April 12, 1994, and grew up in Eden Prairie.

    She is survived by her husband, Jordan Wolfswinkel; her two beautiful children, Thea Mae and Finneas Lee; her parents, Jan and Eric Christiansen; sisters, Kelsey Adam (Tanner) and Lexie Christiansen; niece and nephew, Vivien and Shepard Adam; grandmother, Catherine Drewing; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

    Kara had a heart of gold and an endearing sense of humor.  She was a wonderful, loving mother and found immense joy raising her family in Florida. In recent years, she discovered her passion and a great talent for family photography. Her light will shine on through her children and through the countless people who love her. 

    A private family burial will take place at Lakewood Cemetery in Minneapolis. A Celebration of Life will take place in Minnesota at a later date. Any memorial donations are preferred to the GoFundMe account: “Aid for Thea and Finneas in Memory of Kara.”
