Steven Nicholas Devine, the son of Steven and Susan (Reding) Devine, was born
October 1, 1933 in Algona, Iowa. The family moved to a farm outside of Corwith
when he was five. He attended school in Corwith and graduated with the class of
1952.
He attended Hamilton College before moving home to the family farm. He enjoyed
carrying on the traditions of the family farm and having family suppers there
every Sunday. Farming was Stevie's biggest passion, although he was always
excited for a rainy day to go watch baseball. He was a huge fan of the New York
Yankees and the Minnesota Vikings.
Stevie also enjoyed going to the Corwith American Legion to play cards and
cribbage. He was never afraid to dish it out and loved telling stories. He was
a life-long member of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Corwith, following its
closing he attended St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Britt.
Stevie is survived by his nephews and nieces: Tom (Erma Peria) Devine of Ames,
Jim (Deb) Devine of Corwith, Dave Devine of Corwith, Tim (Karen) Devine of Cedar
Falls, Sue (Harold) Dixon of The Villages, Florida, Kathy (Gordon) Jeskey of
Canby, Oregon, Pat (Paul) Kirstein of Clarion, and Jean (Jerry) Campbell of
Altoona; special friend Tami Fish and her family; good friend Sharon Hankins;
along with numerous great nephews, nieces and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents Steven and Susan, brothers and
sisters-in-law, Maurice (Rosemary) Devine and James (Catherine) Devine.
