The world of 2023 will be a poorer place without Addie Vig, who died yesterday. She brightened every place she went. For a number of years she was activities director of the Good Samaritan Home, Mohall, ND. That was a perfect situation for her with her abundant positive energy, hearty laugh, and story telling ability. Addie defined common sense.
It was my privilege to know Duane and Addie Vig, their three children and also their parents. Duane’s parents, Oscar and Annie Vig were living in the house on the acreage that was described in yesterday’s post. Addie’s parents, Paul and Alma Neubauer, moved to Mohall about the same time as the Negstads. Paul died soon after, and his funeral was one of the first at which I presided in Mohall...it may have been the first. Alma babysat our children and she, too, was fount of common sense.
Duane’s and Addie’s daughter, Joni a high school student, was Lisa’s first piano teacher. Mohall only offered a few weeks of kindergarten in the spring. Lisa was a bored five year old so Joni stepped in to teach her piano. Lisa continued piano lessons through our moves well into high school.
May God bless the memory of Addie Vig.
Takk for alt,
Al
