The committal service will be held on Thursday, May 30th at 10:00am at Jerusalem Cemetery south of Carter, SD. The funeral service will follow at 11:30 at the Christ Lutheran Church in Winner, SD. Dorothy Mae (Mann) Brickman was born August 12, 1924, to George and Myrtle (Patterson) Mann along with her twin sister, Delores, in a farmhouse north of Colome. In 1927 they moved to a farm southeast of Millboro where she attended Shadley Valley and Roberts school. Dorothy attended Millboro High School through the 11th grade at which time the school closed. In the early 1940’s the Mann family moved to a farm west of Clearfield where Dorothy lived until she married. On November 28, 1944, Dorothy married John Brickman and to this union three children were born. They lived on a farm south of Carter their entire married life until 1996 when they moved to Winner, SD. The farm home quarters is still family owned. Dorothy was baptized and confirmed into the Lutheran faith. She became a member of the Redeemer Lutheran Church in Clearfield, SD, and remained a lifelong member. Dorothy’s best friend was her twin sister, Delores. As children they were inseparable often being mistaken for each other. They remained close their entire lives. All through her life, Dorothy admired her older sister, Maxine. Having children nearly the same ages, the families spent a lot of time together; picnicking along the Keya Paha River, a fun night of playing cards or a dance at Clearfield or Sparks, Nebraska. Delores and Maxine remained faithful companions to Dorothy their entire lives and she loved them dearly. Dorothy spent most of her life on a farm where she loved the outdoor life and the work. She loved baking and canning from her garden. She enjoyed raking hay, doing chores and tending livestock. She loved the years on the farm, the life with family. Dorothy’s grandchildren were very special to her. She was never too busy to spend time with them. Dorothy was a great mom and a wonderful grandma. Being grateful for having shared her life are her children Richard (Jeannie) Brickman; Diane (Roger) Studt, Presho; Karen (John) Cook, Pine Haven, WY, her sisters Maxine Klein, Delores Soles, and Twila Dewing, her brother George Mann Jr. (Catherine) Mann, 9 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren, and 1 great-great grandchild and numerous nieces and nephews.
