Alvina Amelia Babby

1909-2002

HAMILTON, MT — Alvina Amelia "Sis" (Young) Babby died at the age of 93 on Wednesday, June 12, 2002, in Hamilton, Montana. She had resided at the Valley View Nursing Home in Hamilton since November 1999 in order to be close to her family.

Alvina was born in Cody, Nebraska on February 23, 1909 and was raised on the Little White River southeast of present day Vetal in Bennett County, South Dakota. She was the second of six children born to Edward and Cecilia "Tiny" (Livermont) Young.

She attended the Jelly Grade School in Bennett County, the Flandreau and St. Francis boarding schools and graduated from Martin High School in 1930. She then attended the Nettleton Business School in Sioux Falls, earning her stenographic certificate, and was employed at the Pine Ridge Hospital. She was a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe in South Dakota.

While working in Pine Ridge, Sis met and married Dennis Babby on March 29, 1934, in Hot Springs, South Dakota. They later renewed their marriage vows with Father Thomas J. Martin at the old Holy Rosary Mission Church in Pine Ridge. Dennis' work in the Bureau of Indian Affairs took them away from South Dakota in 1942. They lived and worked at many different locations over the years and spent WWII in Astoria, Oregon. Although unable to return to South Dakota to live, they always considered Bennett and Shannon counties as their home. Three of their four children were born in Pine Ridge and their fourth was born in Poplar, Montana. At the time of Dennis' death on January 25, 1994, their vows had lasted 60 years.

Sis took immense pride in and was sustained by her love for the families from which she descended and never permitted the memory of those to whom she was related to slip away. Sis was a totally devoted wife, homemaker and mother. She was extremely protective of and patient with her family. Her greatest joy was always in meeting the needs of those she loved. She enjoyed cooking and baking; and her lifelong hobbies of needlework, sewing and crocheting were often recognized with blue ribbons at state fairs. Her unselfish love for and devotion to her family is her legacy.

After her children were raised, Alvina did volunteer service with the Grey Ladies Auxiliary at the hospital in Bemidji, Minnesota and with the Altar Society and the Federal Employees Women's Auxiliary.

Alvina is survived by her four children and their spouses: Wyman (Donna) Babby, LaVonne Hoselton and C. Joyce (Bruce) Peterson, all of Montana and Lloyd (Patricia) Babby of Idaho; a sister, Myrtle Schoenly of Martin, SD; a sister-in-law, Ramona (Blaine) Young of Rapid City; 14 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.

Alvina was preceded in death by her husband Dennis; her parents; two brothers, Chester (Buster) and Blaine Young; and two sisters, Thelma Griffith and Leona Williams.

Visitation will be held from 3 - 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 18 at the Ziegler Funeral Home in Martin, SD.

Vigil services will be from 7 - 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 18 at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Martin. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, June 19, at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church with Father John J. Hennessy as celebrant. Interment will follow at the church cemetery. Lunch will be served at the church immediately after the interment.

Pallbearers will be her grandchildren, Beth Gary, Elaine Babby, Angela Babby, Lorna Babby, Cathy Claxton, Deanna Barham, Dan Hoselton, Bill Babby, Kathy Babby, Colleen Hayes, David Babby, Denice Soto, Christine Larson and Scott Peterson.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials be made to Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Martin, SD.

He also took on the hat of a family man when he married Suzanne on June 18, 1982. George was always uplifting, smiling, and joking with those who were around him.
