Mabel was born on April 8, 1906 in McHenry County, Bergen, North Dakota, the daughter of Kristoffer and Kima (Andersen) Christofferson. She received her early education in rural McHenry County Schools. Mabel graduated from high school in Bergen, North Dakota and attended Minot Normal School where she attained her two year standard degree. She later received further education by attending summer school. She taught in the North Dakota area schools for nine years.
