Mildred Irene (Tatum) Raymond “Millie” 90 of Ft. Pierre passed away on Wednesday, September 8th at her home surrounded by her family. Visitation will be held on Thursday, September 16th from 5:00-6:30pm with a 6:30pm prayer service at the Isburg Funeral Chapel. Funeral services will be held on Friday, September 17th at 10:00am at the First United Methodist Church in Pierre with burial to follow at the Scotty Philip Cemetery in Ft. Pierre.

Millie was born on October 18, 1930, to Clarence and Amy Pearl (McGeorge)Tatum, Sr. in Gregory County, SD. Millie was delivered at home by her grandmother, Martha McGeorge.
Millie’s dad Clarence and two of his brothers Alfred and Roscoe married three sisters: Amy Pearl, Florence and Esther from the McGeorge family. Millie lived on Scalp Creek in Fairfax, SD, on the family farm with her parents and siblings sister Mamie and brother Clarence Jr. She attended Scalp Creek School and graduated from 8th grade. After graduation, she helped with the cooking, cleaning and gardening, so her mom could work the fields with her dad and siblings. Millie loved sharing childhood memories of her siblings and triple cousins. One not so fond memory was riding horseback to and from school with her siblings on the same horse and getting thrown from the horse most days.

Millie married Robert “Rainbow” Raymond on December 16, 1948, in Lake Andes, SD. They lived in Lake Andes where Bob worked on the Ft. Randall Dam and until the completion of his service in the US Army. During this time they welcomed daughter Carla and son Dean.

In 1955, Millie and Rainbow moved their family to Pierre where Bob worked on the Oahe Dam. They welcomed daughters Karen, Debbie, Monica and Kay. They lived on Missouri Street from 1962-1976 where the house was not only filled with her kids but most of the neighborhood kids as well. Everyone was welcome and greeted with her kindness. There was always room at the table if a friend needed a meal or a place to stay. No one was ever turned away. Millie babysat for several neighborhood kids with whom she shared a special relationship. She also cared for several elderly neighbors, making sure they were cared for by providing meals and giving them what they needed most, her company and friendship.

Millie was truly a saint; she was meek, kind and giving. What she gave most was unconditional love, and she expected nothing in return. Words she never spoke: I wish I had, I want or I need. Her only complaint was getting older. She would say, golden years my…!

Millie was a wonderful wife and an amazing mother and grandmother. She had an affect on people when meeting them for the first time. They would say, she is so sweet, cute or I love her and want her to be my mom or grandma. For this, she was known by so many friends as mom or grandma. After raising her six children, she babysat daily for most of her grandchildren and even a lucky few great-great grandchildren. Each grandchild should always remember and hold close to their hearts how much she loved you.

Millie and Rainbow never really had an empty nest, but that’s the way they preferred. She never passed up an opportunity to attend the grandchildren and great-great grandchildren’s event; she was a proud grandma. Millie enjoyed playing cards with family and friends, and doing word search puzzles, latch hook and embroidery. She loved cooking for her family and having everyone gather at home. If you stopped at the house for a quick visit, she would ask if you were hungry and the next thing you knew she would have a full buffet set-up on the kitchen table. Millie’s favorite past-time was playing bingo and bingo she loved. Pretty sure she lost more than she won, but that didn’t matter because it was her time to relax and catch up with friends .

She also enjoyed and looked forward to daily chats with her good friend and neighbor Nancy Monson. Even during COVID and when her health started to fail, she and Nancy would call each other several times a day just to say hi and catch up.

Millie and her family were blessed to have great-granddaughter, Missy Carroll stay with her during COVID to keep her safe and mostly for love and companionship. Missy was there for Millie during her final days.

Millie is survived by her sister Mamie Johnson Macaulley of Cottage Grove, Oregon, son Dean Raymond (Deborah) of Pierre, daughters Debbie Miller (Mike) Phillip, SD, Monica Harding (Steve) of Pierre, Kay Pearson of Ft. Pierre and son-in-law Allen LeBeau of Rapid City, 18 grandchildren, 40 great grandchildren and 10 great-great grandchildren.

She is proceeded in death by her parents, husband Robert Raymond,1 brother Clarence Tatum, Jr., 2 daughters Carla LeBeau, Karen Raymond Durham, 2 son-in-laws Todd Pearson and Henry “Tuck” Durham.

Please keep the Erickson’s in your thoughts and prayers

Scott Dale Erickson was born in Pierre, South Dakota, on October 7, 1956, to Donald and Shirley (Walsh) Erickson. He grew up and attended school in Pierre, along with his two brothers, David and Wade, and sister, Debbie. He later attended Lake Area Vo-Tech in Watertown, South Dakota. Scott had recently moved back to his hometown after living in Oklahoma for the past thirty years. Scott passed away on August 30, 2021, after complications from surgery, but not from COVID, as he was never one to follow trends. The way he died is just like he lived: he wrote his own rules, he fought authority and he didn’t much care what anyone had to say about it.

Scott was a loving son, brother, father, and uncle, as well as an exceptional friend. Behind his gruff exterior was a heart of gold. Scott threw four letter words around like confetti, but he would give you the shirt off of his back. You knew that Scott loved you if you were given a nickname by him. His penmanship could make the writers of the Constitution blush. Scott hated technology and was very unapologetically himself. He loved his dogs, the color purple, sunsets, beautiful women, long naps, stiff drinks, inappropriate jokes, riding his Harley, and being contrary for the fun of it.

He is preceded in death by his parents, his brother Wade, and various family members, loved ones and pets. Scott leaves behind a very special friend, Lori, as well as many other friends and an occasionally dysfunctional family who will miss him dearly.

A memorial celebration of his life will be held at a later date.

Street Masters Lifetime Member, Dave Geisler and his family are in need of our thoughts and prayers in the loss of his wife, Leila

Leila Geisler – 1938-2021

Leila Geisler, age 83, resident of Edgewood Health Care Facility in Pierre, SD, passed away August 27, 2021, while in Hospice Care.

A private burial of her cremains will take place at a later date.

Leila was born to Edwin and Dorothy (Starkey) Jost, July 7, 1938, in rural Potter County, joining big brother, Leland on the family farm near Hoven. A few years later, little brother Jim and sister Mary Lou joined the family. Leila attended country school and then high school in Hoven.

Leila’s parents moved into Gettysburg and started the Quality Furniture Store. Leila lived near them and worked at the Gettysburg Bank. She met and married Howard (Howie) Glover, who was in the Air Force stationed at the base north of Gettysburg. After completing his service, they owned and operated the Standard Oil Station. Leila and Howie had two daughters, Roberta (Bobbi) and Rebecca (Becca). Then in 1964, the Glovers moved to Chamberlain for Howie’s job with the SD National Guard. Howie passed away in 1977. Following her father’s death, Bobbi married and gave Leila two grandsons, Thomas and Joseph Martin.

In 1979, Leila met and married Lyle Dohman and moved to Aurora, NE. This union gave her two loving stepdaughters, Debra Rykman (Val) and Sharleen Wilken (Jim) and seven more grandchildren. Sadly, Lyle passed away of leukemia in 1983, at which time Leila moved to Aberdeen to live near her sister, Mary Lou. She worked at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. 

Leila’s daughter, Becca, added to her growing family, two darling daughters, Aubree (Tyler) Kaiser and Jesse (Mario Bernal) Vance.

Leila married Dave Geisler in 1986 and moved to Murdo, SD. She now had another three stepdaughters, Vivian (Jeff) Sonders, Patricia (Don) Tyus and Jennifer (Brian) Kaiser, and a stepson David Jr. (Anne). Also, another nine grandchildren joined her family tree. 

Over the years Leila welcomed more grandchildren, great-grandchildren and even a great-great grandson.

She was a golfer, bowler, gardener, cook, bridge player, master crossword solver and fixer of many things. She would prefer a gift card to Menards over a bouquet of flowers or jewelry. She will be sorely missed.

Leila is survived by husband, Dave Geisler, Murdo; daughters: Bobbi (Gary) Drewes, Rapid City and Becca Vance, Pierre; brother, Leland Jost, Alexandria, VA; sisters-in-law: Virginia, Carol and Sheron Jost, and Roma Bunch; and numerous grandkids, stepchildren, nieces and nephews.

Preceding her in death were her husbands, Howie Glover and Lyle Dohman; parents, Edwin and Dorothy Jost; brother, Jim Jost; sister, Mary Lou Miller; brother-in-law, Lee Miller; and son-in-law, Rick Martin.

Leila’s family asks that memorials be sent to Countryside Hospice, 415 S. Crow, Pierre, SD 57501. The family is so grateful for the staff at Edgewood and the Avera Hospice nurses for their care of this special woman. They are angels among us.
