Read More	Sister Aimee Hericks, 83, died in the Sacred Heart Monastery Care Center Saturday afternoon, November 5, 2004, after a prolonged illness. Augustine was born June 21, 1921, at the farm home of her parents, Henry and Magdalen (Meyer) Hericks, in Hoven, SD, the seventh of 12 children. After completing elementary education at St. Anthony's school, Hoven, she entered Sacred Heart Convent August 20, 1936, one year after her sister Regina had entered. She graduated from Mount Marty High School in 1939, and made first monastic profession on June 24, 1939, receiving the name Aimee. That fall she began nurses' training at Sacred Heart Hospital, graduating with an R.N. in 1942. From 1943 to 1988, Sister Aimee's ministered as a staff nurse, nursing supervisor, operating and obstetrical room supervisor, director of nursing service and monastery infirmarian. She spent several years each in St. Thomas More Hospital, Canon City, CO; Sacred Heart Hospital, Yankton; and St. Benedict Hospital, Parkston, SD; Madonna Professional Care Center, Lincoln, NE; and at the monastery. A severe arthritic hip condition resulted in Sister Aimee being confined to a wheelchair for several of her later years. She, however, continued ministering in the monastery in various tasks as she was able until a few months before her death -- distributing mail, sewing, and working at the switchboard. Sister Aimee was very devoted to her nursing profession and appreciated the opportunity to care for the elderly Sisters. Growing up in a very musical family, she maintained her joy of singing throughout her life. She made and distributed brown scapulars and enjoyed a good game of cards. She is survived by her religious community; two sisters, Sister Pauline, OSB, Pierre, SD, and Adella, Denver, CO; two brothers and their families, Norbert, Hoven, SD, and Leo, San Rafael, CA; three sisters-in-law and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, three sisters and four brothers.
