Maccine Ramona Lovik
May 17, 1913 - January 28, 2006

Maccine R. Lovik, age 92, of Forest City, died on Saturday, January 28, 2006, at the Lake Mills Care Center in Lake Mills, Iowa.

Maccine Ramona Perkins Lovik, the second youngest of seven children born to Oren and Sina (Anderson) Perkins, was born on May 17, 1913, in Worth County, rural Northwood, Iowa. Baptized and confirmed at Silver Lake Lutheran Church, rural Northwood, Worth County, Iowa, she received her education at Hartland Twp. rural school and graduated from Northwood High School in May, 1931.

In 1932, she married Harry Lovik. Three children were born to their union. Harry and Maccine farmed near Northwood, but later moved to a farm near Hanlontown, and then purchased a farm near Thompson in 1948. In 1979, they divorced.

Active in Bethany Lutheran Church, Maccine, also, belonged to the JFF Club, which met “Just For Fun” and fellowship. Her hobbies included gardening, reading, and doing crafts. She, especially, liked creating decorative objects through quilling. After moving to Forest City in 1978, she worked as a kitchen aide for about twenty years at the Good Samaritan Center. Because of her failing health, she entered the Lake Mills Care Center in August of 1997 where she resided until her death. She will be remembered by her family as a very loving mom and grandmom who made the best sugar cookies and lefse ever.

Survivors include her daughter, Kathryn Olson, and her husband, Don, of Forest City; her son, Ronald Lovik, and his wife, Jill, of Birmingham, Alabama; her sister, Lois Ellgen, and her husband, Clifford, of Clear Lake, Iowa; seven grandchildren; ten great-grandchildren; six great-great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews. Those preceding her in death include her son, Gary; three daughters-in-law, Janet, Margaret, and Helen Lovik; her parents; two brothers, Raymond, in infancy, and Claude; and three sisters, Frances Rusley, Esther Herr, and Lula Scara.

A funeral service will be held Thursday, February 2, 2006, at 11:00 AM at Bethany Lutheran Church in Thompson, Iowa, with Rev. Mark Decker officiating. Burial will follow at Oakland Cemetery in Forest City. Visitation will be from 5:00 to 7:00 PM, Wednesday, February 1, 2006, at the funeral home and an hour prior to the service at the church.
