Burial

Highland
Home
Cemetery
in
Ledyard,
with the

Funeral
Home in

of the

Sandra
Lee
Sleper,
was born
in
Ledyard
on
January
20,
1943,
the
daughter
of Ervin
and
Doris
Johnson.
She
graduated
from the
Ledyard
High
School
in 1961
and then
attended
business
school
in
Omaha,
Nebraska.
She was
united
in
marriage
to
Eldean
Maschoff
on
August
24,
1963, in
Ledyard
and with
him had
two
children.
The
couple
lived in
Minnesota
for
several
years
before
moving
to
Crystal
Lake in
1973.
Sandy
then
married
Russel
Sleper
on July
28,
1984, at
the
Little
Brown
Church
in
Nashua.
Russel
and
Sandy
lived on
a farm
near
Titonka.
She was
a member
of the
Bethany
Evangelical
and
Reformed
Church
in
Ledyard.
Athletics
were an
important
part of
Sandy's
life.
She
excelled
in high
school
softball
and
basketball
and
continued
playing
women's
softball
for many
years.
She was
an
excellent
bowler
and
later
showed
her
abilities
on the
golf
course
as well.
She was
Mike and
Lisa's
number
one fan
at
sporting
events
and
other
activities,
as well
as those
of her
father,
brothers,
nieces,
nephews
and
grandchildren.
College
basketball
and golf
were her
TV
favorites.
With
Russ,
she
shared
her love
for old
time
music
and
dancing,
horseback
riding,
golfing,
playing
cards,
the Iowa
Hawkeyes,
vacationing
in
Biloxi,
Mississippi
and
spending
time
with
friends.
She
enjoyed
her
Sunday
evenings,
having
taco
pizza
with
Russ and
friends
in Blue
Earth.
Sandy
was an
excellent
cook and
known
for her
delicious
desserts.
Her
favorite
books
were
cookbooks
and a
hobby
was
clipping
tasty
recipes
from
magazines.
We will
especially
miss her
roast,
mashed
potatoes,
bacon,
homemade
pizza,
tapioca
pudding,
homemade
bread
and
banana
cream
pie.
Manufacturer's
Bank and
Trust in
Forest
City was
Sandy's
second
home for
the past
31 years
and she
last
held the
position
of
Director
of
Customer
Banking
Services.
She was
a
dedicated
employee
who
considered
it so
much
more
than a
job. She
very
much
loved
her MBT
"family"
and
customers.
Above
all,
what
Sandy
cherished
most was
time
spent
with her
family.
Her
energy
for her
grandchildren
was
amazing
and she
played a
big part
in how
terrific
they are
today.
Sandy
enjoyed
excellent
health
until
she was
suddenly
diagnosed
with
aggressive
incurable
brain
cancer
in
December
2003. In
recent
months
she took
several
trips
with
family
to
Arizona,
Virginia
and New
York
City.
She
amazed
others
with her
strength,
spirit
and good
humor,
and
never
wavered
in her
love for
Dairy
Queen
ice
cream
and
caramel
corn.
Sandy is
survived

husband,
Russel
Sleper
of
Titonka;

Norma,
the only

Stewart,
was born
on March

in Belle
Fourche,
South

was
baptized
in the
Catholic
faith
and
confirmed
at the
Trinity
Lutheran
Church
in Blue

on May
21,
1939.
She was
raised
by her
single
mother,
her
Guidinger
grandparents
and her
few
aunts
and
uncles
after
her
parents
divorced
when she
was four
years
old. She
lived
her
childhood
years in
the
Black
Hills
area,
attending
elementary
school
in
Beulah,
Wyoming.
She
played
girls
basketball
for the
Sundance
High
School.
Her
winning
team
traveled
to the
State
Tournament
in
Gillette,
Wyoming,
two at a
time,
via a
small
airplane.
She
graduated
with
honors
receiving
a
special
Teaching
Certificate
in the
spring
of 1930.
She was
united
in
marriage
with
Obed
Justin
Skogerboe
on
August
12,
1930, in
the
Deadwood,
South
Dakota
courthouse
and
returned
to
Obed's
home
near
Blue
Earth,
Minnesota,
where
they ran
Obed's
mother's
farm.
Shortly
after
their
oldest
son,
Rodney
was born
in 1931,
they
moved to
Sundance,
Wyoming
and
ranched
several
years
before
once
again
returning
to Blue
Earth,
where
they
both
took
jobs
with
Schwan's
Ice
Cream
Company.
Her
second
son,
"Chuck"
and
daughter,
Zeida
were
born
during
that
period
of time.
Obed was
hired as
a
foreman
on
Moore's
Vegetable
Farm and
Norma
worked
alongside
him
whenever
she
could
arrange
for
child
care. In
early
1940 the
family
moved to
a farm
west of
Forest
City and
began
their
lifetime
in
farming.
Norma
became
active
in the
community,
including
taking
her turn
driving
their
family
car to
bus her
own and
neighborhood
children
to
school.
Their
youngest
son,
Dennis
"Mike"
was born
in 1944.
Norma
was an
ambitious,
hard
working
person
who
enjoyed
being
with
people.
Besides
raising
her
family
and
assisting
with the
farming,
she
worked
additional
jobs in
Forest
City.
She
clerked
for
Pinckney
Pharmacy,
Federated
Store,
Forest
City
Bakery,
Coast To
Coast
and also
cooked
for the
Forest
City
Community
School.
Norma
and Obed
worked
as a
team to
manage
the
Forest
City
Golf and
Country
Club for
12
years,
then
managed
the
Winnebago
River
Oaks
Clubhouse
for the
next 10
years.
Norma
was a
strong
and
caring
role
model
for her
family
and
friends.
She had
an
outgoing
friendly
personality
with an
easy
sense of
humor
and a
contagious
hearty
laugh.
She was
known
for her
fantastic
cooking
ability
and her
signature
pies.
She
enjoyed
sewing
for her
daughter
and
granddaughters
and
crocheted
beautiful
keepsakes
for her
family.
Norma
seldom
complained
and
never
gave up
when she
was
faced
with her
many
challenging
health
issues.
She and
her
husband
Obed
unselfishly
opened
their
home to
her
mother
who
lived
with
them for
44
years.
She sent
annual
Christmas
and
birthday
cards
and
gifts to
each of
her
children,
grandchildren
and
great-grandchildren
up until
her last
illness
in 2004.
Her
quiet
faith
and
determination
helped
her to
survive
the
early
death of
several
members
of her
beloved
family.
Norma
and Obed
joined
Immanuel
Lutheran's
"old"
church
in 1940.
She was
active
in the
women's
groups
and
celebrated
her 50th
wedding
anniversary
in
August
1980.
She was
a member
of the
Ellington
Township
Community
Club,
Winnebago
County
American
Legion
Auxiliary
and the
Kum
Along
Club.
She
enjoyed
volunteering
her time
answering
the
telephone
at the
Good
Samaritan
Center
and
taking
friends
to their
out of
town
doctor
appointments.
When
Obed
became
critically
ill in
September
1980,
they
retired
from
farming
and
moved to
Forest
City.
Norma
lovingly
provided
attentive
round
the
clock
home
care for
her
husband
until
his
death in
1981.
She
moved
into the
Town
Square
Apartments
and with
courage
continued
her full
active
life.

moved to
the
Forest
City
Good
