SEVICK: Grace Elizabeth Smith: Grace Elizabeth was born on 29 September, 1910 on a farm near Naseby, Saskatchewan, the fifth and last child of her parents, immigrants from Scotland in 1906. She took her schooling in Naseby and Battleford and then entered the nursing programme at Saskatoon City Hospital graduating in the spring class of 1932 as a Registered Nurse. Perhaps somewhat unusual for her day, she made a career for herself in her chosen field which she regarded as a calling. She worked at the Saskatoon City Hospital, the Saskatoon Sanatorium, the Saskatchewan Hospital, Notre Dame Hospital and, until her retirement, in the offices of Drs. Good, Wolfe and Gormley. In 1941 she married Knute Sevick who had emigrated from Norway in 1927. They had a wonderful life together, spending time at their lakeside cottage as well as some travelling in later years. Grace left North Battleford in 2004 to live with her daughter in Saskatoon. She has been a resident of Stensrud Lodge since November 2012. Left to honour her in their daily lives are her daughter, Carolyn Thomson, and her son, Douglas Sevick (Diane). Granny Grace is remembered also by Doug's children, Allison Yasieniuk (Tenor), with daughters Aliyah and Jordan and Kinley Sevick (Amanda) with son Parker and daughter Keri, as well as by Carolyn's children, Scott Thomson (Lori), Nikoline Thomson (Evan) and Zak Thomson (Tara) with daughter, Paige Grace. Grace's family wish to thank all those who made the effort to keep in touch with her after she moved to Saskatoon. She enjoyed cards, letters and visits so much. Arrangements were entrusted to Battlefords Funeral Service. _____________________________________________________
