Sigridur Sigurdson
1875—1965.
Sigridur Jónsdóttir Sigurdson
passed away at the Betel Home,
Gimli, Man., February 12, 1965.
She was born May 25, 1875, in
Reykjavik, Iceland. She came to
Canada in 1918 with her three
children, Stefania, Oskar and
Louise, after the death of her hus-
band, Sigurbjörn Sigurdsson. For
the first four years the family
made its home at Wynard, Sask.
and then moved to Winnipeg. Here
Sigridur resided most of her long
life, until the went to Betel. Much
of that time she made her home with her daughter Stefania, Mrs.
Prescott.
She was a member of the First Lutheran Church and in 1951
she joined the Ladies’ Aid and was a staunch supporter of the
organization, even before she formally joined.
Sigridur was one of those strong, steadfast, reliable characters
with which the older Icelandic generation was so richly blessed.
Each time one of these women passes on to her eternal rest, the
whole community is much poorer for her passing.
May God bless her and keep her memory alive in the hearts
of those she loved.
Valdheiður Thorlakson.
