After 40 years of farming by Warwick, they retired and in 1994 moved to Devils Lake. Loidah worked as a CNA at Mercy Hospital and in 1973, she went back to school at Lake Region Junior College and began a career as a LPN. She worked at Mercy Hospital for 22 years and after “retiring” she worked at the Good Samaritan Center for 5 years.

She was a dedicated 4-H leader for 21 years and was an encouragement to her children and the many others who were participants in 4-H.

When Loidah had some “spare time” she was an avid reader, enjoyed needlework, crocheting and gave special care to her many beautiful flowers and plants. In the eyes of her family, Loidah was the best wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She had a special gift of making people feel good about themselves. It didn’t matter if she knew them.
