Natalie Evelyn Schied

She attended school in Midland and met the love of her life, Dick Schied, while waitressing at the local cafe in 1949. They married shortly after and rarely spent a moment apart in the 70+ years they were together, until Dick's passing in 2020. She was a field hand, farmer, rancher, trucker, cook, and real estate agent/owner but probably most proud of her gardening accomplishments; her tomatoes were memorialized in a magazine article while she and Dick were living on the shores of the mighty Mississippi River near Bemidji MN. They retired in their 50s and lived in Arizona but never stayed in one place long, traveling the country and visiting family and friends was their greatest joy. Although they had no children of their own, they were beloved by numerous nieces and nephews.

Natalie spent her final years being so well cared for by the loving staff at Serenity Living in Blackduck. Her humor, her gentleness, her intelligence and her mischievous smile will never be forgotten... we know her Lord God and all her family who have gone on before are now enjoying all she is, and more, once again. A private memorial service will take place during the summer of 2024 in South Dakota.
