One of the kindest souls on the planet, Justina was outgoing, loving, the most caring, smart, and beautiful girl in the world. Justina was known for her kindness and love for everyone and for her goofiness. Justina attended school in Lacrosse, WI and St. Paul, Minnesota and graduated from Harding High School, then going on to study at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire. Justina loved to try new things, cook, travel, shop, ice skate, read, and spend time with her favorite girls, Adela & Layla, her family, and friends.
