Funeral services for Donald Brickman age 80
of Carter, SD were held on Monday July 25 at 11 at the United Methodist Church,
Winner, SD. Burial followed in the
Winner City Cemetery.
Donald LeRoy Brickman, 80, of Carter,
passed away on Wednesday, July 20, 2022, in Winner, SD.
Don was born on Aug. 4, 1941, to Robert and
Alma (Brost) Brickman in Gregory, SD. He
joined brother DeWayne and sister Geraldine.
Don grew up in Winner and attended Winner
High School where he met the love of his life Eva Jean Hansen. While in high school, he played football and
was very good at it. His senior year he
was voted Most Representative and was on the 2nd Team All State squad as a
fullback. In recent years, Don and Rocky
Jones reconnected and they would frequently reminisce about their football
days. Don would say, “We got better
every time we talked, we could probably even beat the Green Bay Packers.” Also
during his high school days, he drove truck, usually hauling livestock.
Don and Eva Jean got married on Sept. 16, 1961. They moved to the Denver area for a couple of
years before moving back to South Dakota.
They moved back to the farm that Eva Jean was raised on and Don would be
a farmer/rancher from that time on. He
worked side by side by his father-in-law Elvis Hansen, son Brett and his
grandsons, Carter and Coy. In 1963, they
welcomed Bryan to the family and then in 1966 Brett. Don was a very hard worker, if it would have
been physically possible, he would have worked 24/7. He actively participated in the daily
operations of the farm until 2010 when his hips and knees gave him issues. Though he was physically slowed, he was NEVER
not involved in the day-to-day operations, even up to his last days.
Though work was an important part of his
life, he did have other interests. Don
and Eva Jean were very good dancers. He
also liked playing cards, particularly pitch.
There was a time when a few of the neighbor men would get together once
a month, taking turns hosting a hot poker game and the stakes were HUGE – nickel,
dime, quarter! There were probably more
stories and ribbing than actual card playing.
He also enjoyed going to the horse races in Fort Pierre and he still
enjoyed watching horse races on TV up to the end.
In the 70’s, he raced a hobby stock car in
Winner, and he was pretty good. He was
always at or near the top of the points standings and there is a basement full
of trophies to prove it. He also helped
coach Bryan and Brett’s basketball teams when they were in grade school.
Don and Eva Jean really enjoyed to bowl,
but that came to a halt when the boys got into high school. They would RARELY miss any of their sporting
events, home or away and some of those trips were to Flandreau, Eagle Butte,
Mobridge and Pine Ridge. After the boys
graduated, they resumed their bowling.
They also played golf for a number of years. He always liked to have one cold beer at the
end of the day.
Don is survived by his son Bryan (Julie) of
Harrisburg, SD; daughter-in-law LaVonne of Carter, SD; grandchildren Brandon,
Brittany (James Woods), Bryanna, Carter, Coy Brickman, Cassie Rogers and
Matthew Reu; great grandchildren Jonathan, Nora Brooke and Kaya Bailey;
sisters-in-law and brother-in-law Sharon Hansen, Betty and David Porter; and
several nieces and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his wife Eva
Jean, son Brett, his parents, siblings, and mother and father-in-law Betty and
Elvis Hansen.
Shane E. Bear Heels was born in Rosebud,
South Dakota to Arlene Bear Heels. He has one sister, Ernestine Bear Heels of
White River SD and one adopted brother, John Bear Heels of Norris SD.
Shane grew up in the Norris/Black Pipe
community. He attended Norris school through the 8th grade. In 1982 he began
his high school career in White River, SD where he graduated in 1986. He always
joked and contributed this achievement to his classmates. In an article he
wrote in the Lakota Times, in 2008, he said “I would always have my
classmates do my homework.” This is true and he also cheated off of us
during tests. Shane had this uncanny knack of being able to get people to do
things for him that you knew were not right, but you did them anyway. He knew
that if he was cheating off of one of the “real smart ones”, to make some
mistakes so the teachers wouldn’t catch on!
After graduation and when Shane was 19, he attended WDT in Rapid City, SD. In 1988, he earned his degree as a diesel mechanic. He also attended school to be an electrician and he received his electrical journeyman’s license. He worked for a local electric company, was promoted to a foreman and was tasked with overseeing the electrical work at Prairie Winds Casino. He loved this line of work and said, “That was the best job I ever had.”
The proudest moment in Shane’s life was
when he became a dad. His son Davyd was born Nov. 14, 2000. Shane said,
“My son, Davyd, is my whole life.” and he was.
After an accident in September of 2001 that
broke his neck and left him a quadriplegic and confined to a wheelchair, Shane
had to adjust and accept a new way of life. He had many options of where to
live. Move back home to Norris or choose to live in Rapid City, Sioux Falls or
Colorado. in 2002, he chose to live at the White River Healthcare Center, where
he lived for 20 years. During his time at the WRHC, Shane made an impact on how
healthcare was delivered to the elders. He said, “I fight for the elders’
rights”, and he did just that. Anytime Shane was “monitoring”
the hallways, the staff was always “busy” and if Shane saw that an
elder wasn’t being tended to in a timely manner, he made sure to let them
know…just ask any of them.
He loved to oversee the progress of care
provided and given to the elders, he was their eyes, ears and voice! He was
also an advocate for himself. He knew exactly what he needed, and he was very
specific on the care he received. He trained all of the staff on his
expectations and was particular when it came to making sure he was turned at
the right times, how his teeth were brushed and only a select few were allowed
to cut his hair.
Shane had many accomplishments through the
years. In December 2008, he wrote an article for the Lakota Times, what alcohol
has done for me. He traveled to many schools and gave talks on drinking and
driving and the lasting effects it could have on your life. He continued to
take classes on a part time basis at Sinte’ Gleska University, pursuing a
business degree. Does anyone else find it funny that Shane had us doing all his
homework in High School, yet he had 2 degrees and working on his 3rd???
Shane led and was active in resident
council ~president. He advocated for residents daily. He would sit in the
hallway to ensure call lights were answered and nurses were making their
rounds. He Attend Tribal Council meeting frequently to advocate for help with
upgrades, better pay for the staff and more accountability of leadership. The
residents would go to him if they needed help or if they were not getting
something they needed. The residents trusted and loved Shane.
Shane had to overcome many obstacles. He had to learn to communicate with a voice activated computer. He used a mouth stick to text and call. He used a blow stick to move his wheelchair… and if he ran in to you, it wasn’t an accident! He became a master at all of these things.
Shane will be remembered by many as a crazy, fun, light-hearted and jokester kind of guy. He made this apparent on the morning he made his journey. Shane knew how hard it would be for us to let him leave this mortal world so as we (Ernestine, Sharon and Lila) along with the 2 nurses prepared ourselves for what would be the last breath we would see him take, he kept us guessing. He stopped breathing for 4 minutes, then all of the sudden he was back. He did this 3 times, we just giggled because we knew Shane and we knew he was messing with us. After the fact, the nurses told us that while he was making his journey, in another room that was empty, the alarms kept going off. They even took the monitor out of the room because they thought it was malfunctioning. We had to let them in on how Shane was and that he was just messing with them too. He was always laughing, nothing seemed to bother him. He just lived life. He had an infectious smile, the biggest heart, he was a loyal friend and a great dad. He was strong and courageous.
When
Davyd made his journey to the spirt world May 20, 2021, it was devasting for
Shane and he struggled to keep a positive outlook on life. He said, ” My
son, the elders and the high school students who work at the nursing home give
me a reason to continue living.”
One elder told him early on during his time at the nursing home that he had to be responsible for the elders because he had his mind, and he had a voice. He took this job seriously and he was relentless in his pursuit to ensure the residents received quality care. There is no doubt that Shane’s purpose in life was to be an advocate for the elders. Shane made his journey to the spirit world July 16, 2022.
Shane is survived by: sister, Ernestine Bear Heels and adopted brother, John Bear Heels. One uncle, Alvin Bear Heels, Sr and two Aunties Carol Bordeaux-Orr and Patricia Cooley, Niece KaSondra Bear Heels, Special friend, Sharon Brandis~Wickham and her family and all of his relatives and friends.
Shane is preceded in death by his Mother
Arlene Bear Heels, son Davyd Paul as well as some of his relatives and friends.

Micheal was born on the family farm south
of Colome on April 13, 1927, to Joseph and Bridget (London) Rohde. He joined
siblings Agnes, Walter, Cecilia, and Edward. He experienced the Dirty Thirties
during his childhood, and he shared stories of the difficult times that his
family endured. When he was a teenager, he almost died due to a ruptured
appendicitis. He did not return to high school because of his long
recovery.
Mike joined the Army in 1947 and was
stationed in Washington and Alaska. He came back to the family farm after his
service. To earn extra money, he traveled to Chicago to drive a vehicle back to
South Dakota for a car dealership. While there, he visited an Army buddy who
set him up on a blind date with Marilyn Smith. This was the start of a love
story that would include almost 70 years of marriage, nine children, 25
grandchildren, and 34 great-grandchildren.

were united in marriage on Sept. 6, 1952, at St. John’s Catholic Church in

family, cattle, hogs, and crops.
Mike

job, he traveled to many farms and knew producers all over Tripp Co. Mike never
met a stranger. He could carry on a conversation with anyone, and he always had
a story or two to share. Mike also met many people through his love of coon
hunting. He raised Blueticks, and he spent many nights chasing raccoons and
telling stories. His keen eye and steady hand made him an expert marksman with
a rifle. He also enjoyed time fishing; it didn’t matter if he was at a dam in
Tripp Co. or along the Missouri River at Ft. Thompson.

to him. He was extremely proud of their children, and he loved to talk about
them. Mike and Marilyn’s family includes the following:

For years, Dawn and Lassie participated in
4-H obedience training competition at the South Dakota State Fair. Together, they became premier competitors and
purple-ribbon awardees. When there were
no training levels available that Lassie hadn’t already mastered, Dawn and her
father constructed their own course of competitive jumps to showcase Lassie’s
brilliant training and abilities in the fair’s open class division. Dawn’s unique relationship with Lassie made
it abundantly clear that caring for dogs would forever be a part of her life.
After graduating from Colome High School,

talents for the benefit of others and to serve the various churches she
attended.

woman of faith who put her trust in Jesus and the promise of eternal life at
the end of her time on this earth. She
is leaving behind many friends and family who greatly benefited from her love.
Funeral
services for Shirley Beck, 97, Winner, were held June 18 at the Prairie View
Gospel Barn, Gregory. Burial was at the IOOF Cemetery, Gregory.
Shirley Ann
Brown was born June 22, 1924, at Mule Head Ranch on the Whetstone Creek, north
and east of Bonesteel, SD. Shirley was the oldest child of eight children born
to William and Mabel (Cornemann) Brown. As a young girl, the family moved
several times. Shirley attended many rural country schools. After two years in
Dallas and one year at Gregory High School, Shirley stayed home to help her
mother who had contracted polio.
On July 10,
1942, in Springview, NE, Shirley married Emmett K. Beck. They were married for
52 years, before Emmett passed in 1994. To this union nine children were born
to complete this family.
Not only did
Shirley keep busy with her children, she had many other duties to do. Shirley
was a great cook and known for many of her dishes. The children enjoyed her
cinnamon and caramel rolls and fresh homemade bread. Shirley’s famous dressing
and cheesy potatoes were always a hit. The family joke was to see who got the
lucky french fries as Shirley was always substituting ingredients and using
whatever she could find to feed her large family.
Shirley was
an accomplished seamstress and could sew anything even without a pattern. She
made our everyday clothing as well as our prom dresses and wedding dresses.
Helping out on the farm was just part of being a farm wife. Shirley helped milk
cows and pulled many baby lambs and pigs. Raising way too many chickens
prompted the kids to “always be busy” when it was time to butcher.
Shirley also worked outside of the home at different times as a cook and a
waitress.
Shirley’s
real enjoyment was getting together with her big family. She hosted countless
birthdays, holidays, and special occasions. Shirley loved to visit and enjoy a
good cup of coffee with friends and family. Grandchildren and great
grandchildren were the highlight of her life.
Shirley
loved to bake and decorate cakes. She baked many cakes for birthdays, weddings,
anniversaries, and special occasions–we have albums of her cake pictures!! No
one knows for sure how many cakes have been made. All you had to do was mention
an occasion and she would bake a special cake. This was her true calling and artistic
ability. Sometimes she would throw in a “prank” sponge cake to have
some fun. Shirley was a prankster at heart!
Gardening
and flowers were Shirley’s escape. She loved to grow more than she needed and
enjoyed giving and sharing the extra bounty. Along with her garden meant
canning hundreds of jars of garden produce.
Shirley was
a life-long member of the Valley Reading Circle, a neighborhood women’s group
that started in the early 1920’s. She was also a member of the Rice-Walker
American Legion Post #91 Auxiliary of Dallas for over 40 years. Shirley was
very patriotic and very proud of her family members that served in the
military. She served many positions and headed many committees in the
organization. The annual Fall Pheasant Smorgasbord was her pride and joy.
(Don’t stir the dressing!)
Shirley Ann
passed away peacefully on June 9, 2022, at the Winner Regional Health Care
