Gertrude Ziemann died June 30, 2000, in a Dickinson care center.

Gertrude Isaak was born Jan. 27, 1920, to David and Rose (Guenther) Isaak, in rural Hazen on the family farm. Gertrude was the third child in a family of 11. She attended country school through grade eight. She married Eldor Theodore Ziemann on Nov. 19, 1939, and they moved to the family farm north of Stanton, farming until 1976 and remaining on the farm until 1987. They lived in Hazen until 1992, then moved into Evergreen Retirement Inn in Dickinson, to be near family. Gertrude moved into St. Luke’s Home in November of 1993 and resided there until the time of her death.

She is survived by five sons, Dale and Bonnie, Dickinson; Jack, Bowman; Richard and Linda, Keller, Texas; Franklin and Sherry, Dickinson; and Wilbert and Janell, Washburn; eight grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; five sisters, Elsie Sailer, Garrison; Lorentina and Eldor Weisz, Hazen; Selma Untersher, Bismarck; Jeanette and Ivan Zeller, Spokane, Wash.; three brothers, Walter and Hulda, Hazen; Elmer and Ann, The Dallas, Ore.; Armond and Violet, Hazen; and one sister-in-law, Leona Isaak, Bowden.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Eldor on March 11, 1998; her parents, David and Rose Isaak; her brother, Othmer, and her sister, Delores.

Getrude’s loving and giving nature was shared by many. Her love of God was shown by the countless hours she spent teaching Sunday School (19 years,) working with the ELCA Women of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, and the quilts that she helped make with the women of the church, plus countless quilts she made for her children and grandchildren. Gertrude’s legacy of her love of God and for her church, she passed on to her five sons who are all active in their respective churches.

Memorials are preferred to St. Luke’s Home, Dickinson, for an End of Life Suite.
