Janina Savickaitė-Šukienė (1924–?) was born in Rymiškės village, Panevėžys county (father – Antanas Savickas). In 1941 she entered Panevėžys Gymnasium No. 2 and in 1943 finished it. In 1943, she was admitted to the Department of Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine of Vilnius University. In 1948, she was expelled from the university and deported to the Krasnoyarsk Krai. In 1950, she applied for a certificate on the subjects attended at the university, since she also worked in the medical field in exile. The university sent these documents. On 17 January 1953, she married Albertas Šukys. After returning to Lithuania, she submitted an application and in 1956 was again admitted to Vilnius University, in the sixth year of studies. In 1957, the notary officially approved the marriage certificate, and the woman changed her surname to Šukienė. In 1957, she received a diploma and became a doctor.
