Editorial Comments... Jill Bayers Hotchkiss
As I look up at the volume number above, I can hardly believe it has been 25 years since we started Hereford America. Although our Jill Hotchkiss actual 25th anniversary issue isn’t until January, we were busy organizing and developing our company at this time 25 years ago. At the time I was doing the South Dakota Hereford Times newspaper and my dad, Byron Bayers, was doing the Montana Hereford News. We were interested in combining the two publications thereby having a bigger customer base and bigger readership. The two states touch but it seemed an odd combination without the surrounding states so we met with the state Hereford associations of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wyoming to see if they would have interest in a new Hereford publication that included advertising and information from their states. It was quite a process but we finally received support from these states and Hereford America was born. We appreciate the support of our core states and others who continue to support our efforts. We remain the largest privately-owned Hereford publication in North America. Our original corporation consisted of my parents, Byron and Pauline Bayers, my husband Marc and I. The four of us had some wonderful years traveling the United States and Canada, working together and building the newspaper. Sadly my (continued on page 8)

Baumgarten Herefords From Farm Country to Cattle Country
by Ruth Wiechmann Belfield North Dakota rancher Rollie Baumgarten is a fourth generation registered Hereford breeder with an extensive family history in the state and with the breed. He and his wife Wendy, Isaiah and Ben, and his son Jake with fiancé
Savannah and their son Theodore, run about 250 mother cows and 50 to 60 replacement heifers every year. The Baumgarten family started farming in eastern North Dakota near Casselton in 1885. Another area farmer, Ben Hans, purchased his first registered
Herefords in 1914. When his daughter Gertrude married Richard Baumgarten in 1921, Ben gave the couple a dowry gift of 10 bred Hereford heifers. The family has owned and raised registered Herefords for 107 years. (continued on page 4)
Carmichael Herefords Generations of Quality Herefords
Birdseye view of the yearlings at Carmichael’s sale.
by Ruth Wiechmann Ranchers in western South Dakota and the surrounding area know that the Carmichael name stands for hard working cattle, real world cows, and they have been showing up to purchase the family’s horned Hereford bulls for over 50 years. Keith Carmichael wouldn’t have it any other way. “We’re coming up on our 53rd annual bull sale,” Keith said. “About half go to cross on black cattle but we do have a lot of Hereford customers; about half of our bulls end up going back on Hereford cows.” The family has been in the area for over 100 years, with Keith’s maternal grandparents, John and Gertrude Hartman homesteading in Perkins County in 1909. Keith’s paternal grandparents, Pete and Garnet Carmichael, moved to Perkins County in the early 1940s, bringing their family and a herd of Hereford cattle from Gregory, South Dakota. Pete Carmichael’s son James and his wife Dorothy introduced registered Herefords to the herd in the late 1950s with a (continued on page 12)

This promising young junior herd sire gets up early every morning, ignores the weathermen, scientists and politicians and goes to work. Like our other herd sires, he goes about his business not caring what part of the desert we live in. Watch for his first calves this fall. They look great. We will be weaning 1350 calves from our multifamily registered cow herd. Crops in our area are running about 1/3 of normal this year. Like everyone else, the rain showers seem to go around both sides of us. RV Valor 9444G ET

Chris Effling has made significant discoveries on South Dakota Hereford Tour
The 2009 South Dakota Hereford tour was an event that will leave a lasting impression for our family. I will never forget standing on the east side of the Rausch sale facility in a group of 2 year old pairs. I was visiting with Jerry Bischoff, when this red eyed heifer calf came walking across that pen. Dylan Koepke had also seen her and I said to him, “who is that heifer?” He replied, “039 is her number and she’s pretty dang good.” One thing led to another and our family purchased that female, R Sweet Red Wine 039 before leaving that evening. She generated over $500,000 in progeny sales and has had an impact in numerous programs. I later went back to Rausches and discovered R Leader 6964, who is currently making a tremendous impact on the Hereford breed. He has over 2500 progeny in 388 herds. We would have never acquired her or had the opportunity to look at several good programs that day without taking the time to enjoy the great people and cattle. This is just one of many stories that can be shared about going on tours. Thank you to the South Dakota Hereford Breeders for taking the time to promote your programs and your breed.

Baumgarten Herefords... (continued from page 1) It’s a long tradition of working on and with the land to produce a harvest, tending to cattle that are both hardy and attractive. Rollie got his start as a 10 year old when his father Hilbert gave him his first heifer calf to show in 4-H. Hilbert was a 4-H leader, so Rollie was active showing cattle in 4-H throughout his growing up years. “That means I’ve had cows for 50 years,” he laughed. “I guess that makes me old!” Rollie’s first wife, Tama Fisher, also grew up with registered Herefords,
helping her dad, Ted Fisher, on his ranch at the opposite end of North Dakota. When Ted passed away in 1986, the family took the opportunity to move themselves and their herd west to the rolling hills on the edge of the Badlands. Descendants of the Fisher cattle remain in the Baumgarten herd. In spite of the all too frequent droughts and the harsher environment of western North Dakota, the cattle thrive. Rollie and Tama’s two children, Jake and April, grew up helping on the ranch and showing cattle in 4-H and Junior Nationals. Sadly, Tama passed away in 2015, but the family has grown to

include Wendy and her two grandsons, Benjamin and Isaiah. “The farm back east was pretty different,” Rollie recalled. “A lot more mud and slop. It’s not the greatest cattle country.” Selling registered Hereford bulls and showing cattle are both long-standing family traditions. “My dad and grandfather held their first bull sale in 1949 — in a tent,” Rollie said. The tent blew over during the sale, making the event doubly memorable. After two years of selling bulls in a tent, Hilbert and Richard had sold enough bulls to build a sale barn and another barn. For many years, Hilbert and his brother Donny ran things together and took care of the cattle with Richard, but eventually they parted ways. “Dad and I split things off on our own in 1974,” Rollie said. “We just had a little bit different ideas about how to do things. Dad still had a few cows at home until he was close to 90. He always had a couple of cows around to take care of.” While the family originally bred only
horned Herefords, they currently raise some of both. “Some of our customers want only horned cattle, some want only polled,” Rollie said. “To some it doesn’t matter a bit. My son, Jake, wanted to get into some polled bloodlines and it’s been very helpful because we have customers who want both. To me it doesn’t matter so long as they are good quality cattle.” The family has made a regular habit of showing their cattle, making trips to the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colorado, almost every year since 1994. The work has paid off, with several prestigious awards on the shelf, including Grand Champion Carload of bulls in 2020, various class winners over the years, and Grand Champion Pen of Three heifers in 2009 and reserve champion in 2015. “We do show, and we feel we’ve done well, but that’s not our main focus,” Rollie said. “We don’t really raise show cattle. We strive to raise good cattle to sell to commercial producers who run in big pastures like we do. The carload award was great but I think it means

more to me to see other people do well with our cattle. Some heifers we’ve sold have gone on to do very well showing, including the 2016 Western States Here ford Show Grand Champion Heifer in Reno and the Champion Hereford Heifer at the 2014 HLSR. In 2019, BCC Domi nator 619D, a bull we raised, sired the Supreme Champion Bull at the National Western Stock Show. In 2020 one of our herdsires, Haroldsons Upgrade 33D sired the Supreme Champion Bull over all breeds at the Cattlemen’s Congress in Oklahoma City. I think that means more to me than the awards we have won.” The Stock Show kicks off the year for Baumgartens in January, and they get home just in time to start calving heifers. Or not.
“Sometimes we get our first calf the day after we get home,” Jake said. “Sometimes it’s the day before… We start calving the heifers the last week in January, and then have our annual bull sale the first Friday in February. Our mature cows start calving the 15th of February. In between feeding cows and pushing snow we try to haul some grain if we get the chance.” With the operation including both grain farming and cattle there’s never a slow moment on the ranch. By the end of March, Rollie and Jake are getting ready to get in the field and mending fences on the pastures. They seed approximately 3500 acres of wheat, corn, canola and sunflowers every year. Replacement
heifers are AI’d April 20. Cows are AI’d in two groups, May 7 and June 1. They are also breeding a group of cows for fall calving now. They started using embryo transfer technology 20 years ago and they are excited to forge ahead with that technology as they see improved qual ity in their replace ments and more consistency in the bulls they sell. “ We ’ v e b e e n flushing five to seven donors every year and putting in 60-70 embryos,”
Jake said. “I really hope we can increase how we utilize embryo transfer. We’ve seen our replacement heifers get two times better in the last two or three years. It helps us produce more high quality bulls and raise bulls with more consis tency for our customers. It’s given a lot more depth to our cow herd.” “I like to keep some extra females around,” Rollie said. “I like to let them and the calves they raise tell me which are the good cows after their first year or two in production.” After the cows are AI’d they go straight to pasture, and by then it’s time to start thinking about haying. With drought conditions persisting for the last couple of years, bulls have been pulled early to shorten up the breeding season. “We try to AI everything, then turn (continued on page 6)

F-1 baldies, only five percent or so are used on Hereford cows. Ten years ago it was a lot harder to sell a Hereford bull but there is a lot more interest now. We sell a lot of good bulls to folks who are not just customers, they are friends.” While the bulls get most of the press, it’s the cows that are at the heart of everything Baumgartens do. “Our biggest focus in on our females,” Rollie said. “The cowherd is the strength behind what we do. Both Jake and I look for longevity, for easy keeping, good uddered productive cows. These big pastures with their rolling hills, maybe only one water source in a mile, and with limited grass keep a cow herd hardy and functional.”

bulls out for pasture breeding,” Jake said. “We want the cows to calve in a 45-day window; every mature cow that is open in the fall gets sold. We’ve pulled them early the last few years and this year we don’t have as many opens as in the past. I think it’s really helped our fertility. A little management makes a big difference.” The fall cows start calving around August 20. It’s been a lower stress management option than the January and February calves for Rollie and Jake. “We really like calving without having to worry about the weather,” Rollie said. “We are usually still haying and in the middle of harvest, but for the most part it’s gone smoothly. We check once a day, weigh and tag calves, and that’s about it.” Bull calves are weaned right after Labor Day weekend; heifer calves around October 15. Market and feed supply dictate when steer calves are weaned and sold, so that can vary from year to year. In between harvesting wheat, doing fall projects, and harvesting corn and sunflowers, they run a fall heifer sale on the internet. “This year it will be on October 13,” Jake said. “We pick out some show prospects, some cow prospects; this fall we’re offering 10 heifer calves and five bred heifers. They might go for show heifers or cow prospects or both.” By December, it’s time to get ready for the bull sale and the stock show, and another year has rolled around. Bulls will be DNA tested this fall and enhanced EPDs run based on the DNA testing. “Probably 75 percent of our bulls stay within a hundred mile radius,” Jake said. “It’s nice that they are close enough that we can go and see how they are doing for our customers. The majority of the bulls are used on commercial cattle, black cows or solid reds for producing

(continued from page 12) Carmichael calves are born starting in late March on through May. Then it’s branding season; between working their own herds and trading work with neighbors it’s not long until it’s time to turn the bulls out and start haying. The black cows on the ranch get bred Hereford to produce F-1 baldies for commercial replacements. With changing seasons come fall shots, taking the bulls out, pregnancy testing cows, weaning calves. “And then we feed cows all winter,” Riley laughed. Their goal is to produce bulls out of the type of cow their customers need: docile, moderate framed, easy keeping cows that can handle the harsh environment of the prairie, raise a good calf, breed back, and keep doing it for a decade or more. “That’s one of our big goals,” Brice said, “To have cows that stay on the place till they are 12 or 13. It’s sure nice having old cows; they are the ones that have paid

for themselves. We’re always working to improve udders and eyes, and we try to keep a balance in milk: not too much, not too little. Docility is a pretty big deal to us too.” “We focus a lot on the maternal side,” Keith said. First cross baldies are marketed in October at Faith Livestock along with customers’ calves sired by Carmichael bulls. Bulls are sold at the ranch on the third Saturday in February. “We sell two sire groups of yearling bulls,” Keith said. Carmichaels sell yearling and two-year-old bulls in February. “The rest are sold as two year olds. Most of these bulls stay within a 150 mile radius. We have very good support among our neighbors and the community. Hereford people are unique. They are old school and share the same fundamental values. It always seems that when you go to the sale barn you will find the Hereford people together.” “We have really good customers,” Brice said. “We’re thankful that they continue to support us.” The customers keep coming Pictured on sale day 2021 are, left to right, Brittany Schaeffers and daughter Brooklyn, Jamie back.

We started buying bulls in the Wilford Seim and James Carmichael in the 1960s about early ‘70s, so we’ve been the time the Seims started buying bulls from Carmichaels
using them on our Hereford cows for about 60 years. The Carmichaels’ word is good. They stand by their bulls and have generously helped to market our cattle in the past as well.” Mick Kennedy and family have been buying Carmichael bulls for years. “I don’t know how long, it’s been that long,” he said. “Jim was still in the business when we started buying Carmichael bulls. We keep going back because we’ve had such good luck with them. We run two herds of cows, and breed one Limousin for a terminal cross. But I like a baldy cow. We breed our black cows to Hereford bulls to get black baldy heifers to raise up for replacements.” Mick said that another positive factor for him is the distance. “Carmichaels are close,” he said.

(continued from page 14) sale to go up and look at the bulls in the pasture to figure out which ones we think will work for us, and then we go back on Saturday for the sale. It’s inevitable that sometimes you’ll have bad luck with a bull, he might break himself or get lame. Keith has always had something available for us to pick from when that happens, and I really appreciate that too.” Riley is thankful to be able to raise his family on the ranch where he grew up. His son, Hayzen likes to ride with Grandpa Keith in the side-by-side when it’s time to check cows and bulls. “When you look around at the way the world is going it’s pretty awesome to be able to raise your kids the way you were raised in this western lifestyle,” he said. “This is the fifth generation running — from my grandpa to my grandkids — that the Carmichael name has been synonymous with Herefords,” Keith said. “It doesn’t happen all the time that the next generation wants to come back to the ranch. We are very blessed.”
Kyle and Reggie Kennedy bought bulls for the Kennedy Ranch. Their family has been customers for many years.

HEREFORD AMERICA • September 2021
Robert Schnell
Robert Schnell was born November 17, 1930 in Dickinson, ND, to Ray and Clara Schnell. There were 13 siblings in his large family, two of whom died as children. Robert attended St. Patrick’s Grade School and graduated from Dick inson High School in 1948. He graduated from North Dakota State University in 1952 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Animal Science. Robert served as Stu dent Body President there from 1951 to 1952. After graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. His infantry training was at Camp Roberts, CA. He eventually joined the Veterinary Corps serving as a meat inspector in Stockton, CA. It was there that he met Joan Jackson. Joan was working a sum mer job between semesters at UCLA as a lifeguard at the Stockton public swim ming pool and Robert was smitten! He spent many hours there and Robert of ten joked later about fighting the Korean War at the Stockton Swimming Pool. Robert was honorably discharged from the army in 1955 and married Joan (Jackson) Schnell that same year in Stockton, CA. Robert and Joan settled on the ranch north of Lemmon, SD. Besides raising their four children there (Karen, Leigh Anne, Eric and Carter), they also raised registered and commercial Here ford cattle. In addition, together with several of his brothers and father, Robert was a partner in the Schnell Livestock
Robert Schnell Markets in Dickinson, ND, Miles City, MT and Lemmon, SD. He started his auctioneering career in 1955 at the Dick inson Market and later honed his skills at the Miles City and Lemmon locations. He began his purebred livestock auction eering business in 1956. That business grew to include cattle sales in 23 states and Canada. Robert also was selected to be the auctioneer at national breed auc tions in Denver, Calgary and Regina. The highlight of his auctioneering career was in 1968 when he was named the World Champion Auctioneer. After Joan and Robert’s divorce in 1974, they continued ranch operations together with the help of their son, Cart er. Robert added a registered Angus herd in 1979 and registered Salers cattle im ported from France and Canada in 1985. After he sold his half ownership of the
Lemmon ranch to Carter, he moved to Rapid City and continued raising cattle on leased land near there from 1988 to 2005. He never stopped loving the Lem mon ranch and returned most summers to spray weeds for Joan and Carter. He hated certain weeds with a passion, leafy spurge and Canada thistle to name a few. Robert was an avid outdoorsman and hiker. During the last 15 years he spent in the Black Hills, he never missed an opportunity to explore them with his beloved companion, Phyllis Bergeron. Much of his time during his final years in Rapid City was spent reading. He had an extensive collection of books and shop ping for a Christmas or birthday gift for him usually included the purchase of a new historical non-fiction book. Worth noting are some of the offices held by Robert which include his posi tions as President of the American Salers Association in 1988 and President of the World Salers Federation in 1989.

He enjoyed working with his father and often said he wished he could figure out and fix things the way his dad did. He graduated from South Fremont
High School where he was a member of the boxing club. LaVerl grew grain, hay, and for a few years potatoes. But the thing he enjoyed the most was raising Hereford cattle. After his father’s death in 1974, he continued to farm and ranch. The collapse of the Teton Dam in 1976 was a devastation to LaVerl, to his spirit as well as his beautiful farm ground. LaVerl married Patsy Ann Liebert on June 14, 1988. They enjoyed 32 years of marriage. Her death on February 5, 2020 left LaVerl feeling very lonely as he missed her everyday.

The story of what happened got a little mixed up in the emergency room, and it was reported that he had been fighting bulls. The heart surgeon was trying to decide if he was a good candidate for surgery. One of the nurses told the doctor about the “bull fighting” and he had bypass surgery. LaVerl continued to raise Here ford cattle, doing a full day’s work, and visiting with neighbors and friends. He is preceded in death by all his siblings, his parents and his sweet wife Patsy. He is survived by several nieces and nephews, good friends and his beloved dogs, Sammy, Fred and Spike.

Gary Rausch
Gary Rausch
Gary G. Rausch, 62, of Onaka, SD died Sunday, August 1, 2021, from injuries sustained in an accident near his farm. Gary was born November 22, 1958, to Duane and Janice Rausch of Onaka, SD. Gary grew up with his 12 brothers and sisters on their family farm in Onaka, SD, where his passion and love for cows began. He attended his early years of school in Onaka, but finished his schooling in Cresbard. While in school, he met and fell in love with Twila Baker. They were married in February 1979. For the first two years of their marriage, they lived in Onaka, at which point they moved to their family farm where they remained. Gary loved Hereford cows, sporting events, hunting, never missing a meal, and winning AM radio trivia. However, Gary’s peak happiness came from watching his kids and grandkids compete in various sporting events. He coached both teener and legion baseball, including being selected to coach the all-star game in Milbank, SD. Gary was a member of the parish council for St. John the Baptist Catholic Church. He was also a volunteer firefighter for Onaka and was a member of the Clark Township Board. Gary loved the Twins, the Vikings, and very much enjoyed the “Minneapolis Miracle.” Gary was a kid at heart and could often be found instigating mischief. The sparkle in his eye always gave him away. Gary was a “talker” and could often times be found in lengthy conversations with complete strangers. He loved going to bull sales. He loved the road trips, the comradery, and the lifelong relationships. Gary is survived by his wife, Twila Rausch; mother, Janice Rausch; mother in law, Frankie Baker; siblings, Rick Rausch (Linda), Jeannie Hiem (Leonard), Cindy Schlosser, Pam Holt (Kevin), Shellie Melius (Owen), Kay McGaugh (Scott), Deb Owens (Joel), Tim Rausch (Teresa), Kristie Beal (Jon), Peg Goetz (Lee), Troy Rausch (Lovette), and Chad Rausch (Cortney McEntyre); children: Melissa Larson (Chris), Mark Rausch (Erin), Nicole Hieb (Austin); and his beloved grandchildren: Kalen Larson, Talon Larson, Amari Larson, Everly Larson, Kendall Rausch, Opie Hieb, and William Rausch; brother in law: Clyde Baker (Traci); sister in law: Darcy Swier (Greg); and many nieces and nephews.

fishing, hunting, and being outdoors with her family. She was a master organizer with many creative talents, and she spent countless hours in her room working on craft and engineering projects. She enjoyed her craft weekends with her Grandma Renee getting 4-H projects ready. Memories of hunting together will always be precious to her family, especially her many deer hunts with her parents. Her wit, honesty, and maturity were unique for someone her age. She was the best big sister and cousin and took care of everyone around her. In her short life, Randa learned a lot about the importance of serving others. She was about to start her senior year at Chamberlain High School. Randa was an excellent and busy student, participating in volleyball, track, softball, as well as being a dedicated basketball student manager. She was also involved in SD Girls State, FFA, 4H, and HOSA. She had a knack for making a great poster board and took pride in her work and accomplishments in those activities. She coached youth softball, basketball, and soccer. This last year, she started teaching CCD classes which ignited a love of education in her. Randa loved being a lifeguard and teaching swimming lessons. She was on her way home from the pool when she passed. She was a great role model for the youth she served and was loved by many kids in the community. Randa is survived by her parents, Jerri
Ann & Garin; her 4 younger siblings: Rayden, Jocie, Jera, and “best friend” Alesa; her grandparents, Randy & Susie Knippling, Renee & Jerry Buck, and Deb & Dale Kopman; her great grandparents Jerry & Ardith Knippling and Lillian Koistinen; her aunts and uncles: Regan Ciarlotta, Ryan (Carrie) Kysar, Darin (Sara)Kysar, Brydon (Liz) Haak, Raelyn (Daniel) Cichosz, Trenna (Jeff) Sarkinen, Shonell (Brandon) Dallum, Kristi (Ryan) Decker, Cole(Amy) Knippling, Sarah(Tyler) Daniel; and by her many, many cousins.

Verona Vroman, age 94 of Buffalo SD, died Saturday, June 19, 2021 at the Belle Estate in Belle Fourche. Verona Martha (Heck) Vroman was born in Tolstoy, SD on Sept 26, 1926 to Eugene and Frieda Heck. Eugene was born in 1883 and came to the US from Haubersbronn, Germany in 1909. Frieda was born in 1888 and raised in SD. They were married in 1916 in Tolstoy where he owned a shoe repair and harness shop. Eugene and Frieda had five children: Ruth, Esther, Walter, Verona and Virginia. Later, Eugene moved the family and the leather repair shop to Gettysburg, SD. There, Verona and her siblings attended school and helped in the shop. Frieda passed away in 1937. Esther came home from college to help her Dad care for the family until Eugene was remarried in 1938 to Louisa. With this marriage, Verona gained step-siblings, Russell and Virginia Jo. Verona was 13 when she accepted the Lord, was baptized, and attended the Church of God. Her unwavering faith and relationship with God was of utmost importance to her throughout her life. She graduated from Gettysburg High School in 1945, and the family moved to Mitchell, SD. While visiting her sister, Esther Wammen, in the Slim Buttes, of South Dakota she met Bill Vroman. The two wrote letters and dated for about a year before they married on November, 7, 1947 in Mitchell, SD. They honeymooned in Sioux Falls, SD, returning to the XX Ranch in Harding County to a log house to begin their life together. Bill and Verona had 4 children: Larry Bill, May 12, 1949; Linda Kay, January 21, 1951; Ross Gene, September 15, 1952; and Mark James, September 1, 1956. Ross was born with Cerebral Palsy-Hydrocephalus and passed away at the age of 13. The couple spent the majority of their years on the ranch with their three kids, raising beef cattle, ponies and horses. Verona’s specialties
Verona Vroman
included packing picnic lunches, cheering and keeping score at the numerous rodeos the kids competed in. She also timed at the Regional High School Rodeo for several years. Verona was active in the Slim Buttes Cowbelles and Eastern Star where she held various offices. Bill and Verona faithfully attended church services as well as other church related functions. Verona loved the tradition of hosting a live Nativity Service for the community in the barn every Christmas. The evening always concluded with singing Christmas carols and having refreshments in the house. The family vacations included a trip to Missouri to visit Verona’s father Eugene, and to Seattle to visit brother, Walt and his family during the 1962 World’s Fair. Verona helped plan trips to the National High Rodeo Finals in MN, NV, OK, KS, and TX. Bill and Verona enjoyed taking trips with the Elite Club, traveling to Branson, Nashville, Alaska and Washington, DC. Every winter for 40 years, they drove to AZ to visit their daughter Linda, her family and friends. In 2000 Bill and Verona retired to Buffalo where they enjoyed lunching and card games at the Senior Citizens. They were always happy to host coffee guests or grandkids’ overnight stays and they rarely missed academic or sporting events the grandkids were involved in. Bill and Verona spent their last few years at Peaceful Prairie Estates and Belle Estate where she passed away at the age of 94 on June 19, 2021. Verona loved hosting many family reunions at the ranch. Her cooking and baking were known and appreciated by branding crews, hired hands and anyone one who stopped by the house. Verona is survived by her daughter Linda (Bill) Otis of Buckeye, AZ; son, Mark (Jo) of St. Onge, SD; 7 grandchildren: Taylor Vroman, Ryan (Kelcee) Vroman, Seth (Jen) Otis, Trent (Kim) Otis, Nikki Vroman, Lisa (Chance) Kvistad, Lona (Jake) Downs; 10 greatgrandchildren: Jace, Mollee, Tyson, Reese, James, Kayden, Mylee, Harlan, Alexa, Jace; sister, Virginia Malde of Spearfish; and brother, Walt (Jeannie) Heck of Seattle WA. She is also survived by her daughter-in-law, Claudia Vroman of Buffalo. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Bill in 2019; sons, Ross and Larry; sisters, Esther Wammen, and Ruth Johnson.
