Borghild Regina was

born February 22, 1913,

on a farm in Benson

County near Wellsburg,

ND. She was the daugh-

ter of Ben and Karen

(Skurdal) Vik. She grew

up on the family farm and

attended the North Fork

School in Benson County.

She was employed as a

nanny and housekeeper in

Fargo, Minneapolis, New

Mexico, Florida and

Washington. Borghild

married Norris Hovland

on March 6, 1943, at her

parents’ home near

Wellsburg. They farmed

east of there and she al-

ways enjoyed having a

large garden. They retired

in 1975 and moved into

Harvey in 1981. Norris

died on July 21, 1995.

of the Bethania Lutheran

Church in Wellsburg until

it burned in 1976, then

joined the First Lutheran

Spending time with her

family was her greatest

joy and she was an in-

spiration to each one of

them. Norris and Borg-

hild enjoyed traveling to

Norway and visiting fami-

ly and friends in num-

erous states. She enjoyed

quilting, crocheting and

playing cards.
