IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Jeanette Sally
Brink
August 5, 1919 – February 8, 2011
Our precious Mom and Grandma entered into eternal life to be with her loving Heavenly Father, husband, parents, five siblings and great grandsons, Espyn De Boer and Ghett Gehring on Tuesday, February 8th, 2011 at her home in Sturgis with family by her side.
Jeanette Sally Walloth was born August 5, 1919 at Ranch Creek, MT, to Emo and Hannah Walloth, the 6th of 7 siblings.
She attended all eight years of grade school at the little one room school house on the home place, four years of high school at Broadus, Montana and two years of college at Spearfish Normal School in Spearfish, SD. The following summer she traveled to Sulphur, SD, to visit her sister and family. While there she met the love of her life, Delmar Brink. They were married August 23, 1941 at Broadus, Montana. They made their home near Fairpoint, SD, where Jeanette taught school for a number of years and was Delmar's help mate running the ranch. They were blessed with five children. Delmar passed away in July of 1991, one month short of their 50th anniversary. Jeanette spent the next few years on the home place and then moved to Heritage Acres in Sturgis, SD. The last few months were spent at "Our House" in Sturgis.
Mom always found beauty in every thing and everyone. She was our prayer warrior and the glue that held our family together. Her faith in the Lord was lived by example. One of her last requests was that we would all keep Jesus in our hearts and we would all be in Heaven some day.
Jeanette is survived by her children, Darwin (Terry) Brink, Sturgis, Neoma (Karl) Richter, Enning, Marlin (Linda) Brink, Union Center, Delbert (Robin) Sturgis, Keith Brink, Box Elder; brother in law, (son at heart) Daryl (Lynette) Brink, Sturgis; sister, Carlyn House Belle Fourche, sister in law, Ruth Walloth, Michigan; also 16 grandchildren, 31 great grand children, and a large beloved extended family and close friends.
Mom and Grandma, your passing will leave a painful void that will only be soothed by our fond memories and precious time spent together.
Visitation will be noon until 9:00 p.m. on Monday at the Kinkade Funeral Chapel in Sturgis. A prayer service will begin at 7:00 p.m.
Funeral services will be 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, February 15, 2011 at the First Presbyterian Church in Sturgis with Pastor Denzel Nonhof, Harold Delbridge and Robert James officiating. Burial follows at the Bear Butte Cemetery in Sturgis.
Memorials have been established to "Our House" Assisted Living and the Sturgis Church of Christ.
