Signe Johanna Kallevik, 99, of Huntington, N.Y., and Alna, died Jan. 11 at her son’s residence.
She was born in Haugesund, Norway on Oct. 24, 1910, a daughter of Albert Olsen Skauvold and Hanna Severine (Sjursen) Skauvold.
At age 18 she left her birth land and moved to her new homeland, the United States of America, to begin her new life, a life that included marriage, children, new friends and fond memories of the places and people she left behind.
She was an avid reader, gardener, and enjoyed volunteering for her church and the home extension service of Cornell University of New York, where she taught her many crafts.
She was predeceased by her husband, Henry J. Kallevik on Dec. 25, 1988.
She is survived by her son, David H. Kallevik of Alna; daughter, Susan J. Kallevik of Huntington, N.Y. and Harpswell; sister, Hildur Kristoffersen, sister-in-law, Katarina Skauvold, both of Haugesund, Norway; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Memorial service will be held at a later date.
