Camilla Ann was born on October 26, 1961, in Albert Lea, MN to Lowell and Ruth (Weitzel) Lawson. She grew up in Glenville and attended Glenville Emmons High School. Following, Cami began raising her family. On February 6, 1999, Cami was married to Troy Kussatz at Oakland Lutheran Church in rural Albert Lea.

Cami worked at a nursing home in Sleepy Eye, MN. Most of her working life was spent at Woodvale in Albert Lea as a supervisor. Most recently, Cami worked at Menards in New Ulm.

Cami was creative and always had a vision with her projects. She loved crafting and would do woodworking with her husband. She also enjoyed fishing and Harley rides. Cami’s loved ones consider her “the rock” of the family. She always made time for them, especially her grandkids. Cami is known for caretaker personality and listening ear. She continuously put others first—even until the very end.
