Caitlin Renee Demuth was born December 31, 2012, in Marshall, Minnesota. She was the youngest of three children born to Brent and Lisa (Truwe) Demuth. She lived with her family on their farm in Lynd, Minnesota, and attended school there as well. Caitlin was an active 3rd grader, known for being very independent and helpful when others needed a hand. She had a caring soul and picked up on others sadness, she strived to be a bright spot in their day. She often took care of her two brothers, even though they were both older than her, by making them breakfast or taking over other duties when mom was at work.
