Lifelong Alaskan Katie Olga Seversen, 72, died August 23, 2011 in Anchorage, Alaska. A funeral was August 29, 2011 at the Evergreen Memorial Chapel located at 737 E Street downtown Anchorage, with a visitation. There was a potlatch gathering at the 1st American Baptist Church, located at 1200 E. 27th Ave. (off of LaTouche and N. Lts. Blvd.) after the service; this gathering was held by Rev. Roger Holmberg, her brother of the Grace Baptist Temple.
Ms. Seversen was born May 12, 1939, on Sanak Island to the late John and Sophia Holmberg. She enjoyed island living with her 11 siblings, daily provisions, and fun back in a time when life was simple and good. After growing up in Sanak she moved to Sand Point in 1955 and stayed there until 1972 when she moved to Anchorage. Ms. Seversen dedicated 33 years of service to the AK Native Medical Center's Dietary Department until 2004 when she retired at age 65.
Kathy is survived by her four children, Suzette Gjertsen, Peter Ludvick, Rosanna Snigaroff, and Joyce Bartolini; six Holmberg brothers, Ruel, John Jr., Judge, Fred, Roger, and Paul; three sisters, Nellie Mitchell, Harriet Babcock, and Maryann Mobeck; daughter-in-law Shirley Ludvick and son-in-law Mark Snigaroff; ten grand children, and two great-grand children. This sweet, kind-hearted, Aleut women, particular in the way things were kept, had an adorable sense of humor. So particular that at an early age was known to her father as "fussy nunny." She treasured ordinary happenings of this world such as being with family and friends, having tea, cooking up a storm in the kitchen, clearing snow, making precious hand-made crochets, and playing plenty of bingo -- when feeling lucky. She was loved dearly by those she touched and will keep a part of all our hearts warm.
