Dorothea Louisa Bettmann was born September 14, 1911 to Henry & Johanna (Lowitz) Bettmann on a farm in Brown County, rural Aberdeen. She was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith at St. John’s Lutheran Church, rural Aberdeen. This is where she first débuted her self-taught talent of being able to play the organ. Dorothea attended St. John’s Rural School.

She then married Ernest Loeb on June 2, 1950 at Pierre, SD. He worked in the construction business, which took them many places over the United States. Upon retirement they moved to Arizona and eventually to Faulkton where Dorothea continued her musical talents by playing the organ for the First Lutheran Church. In April 2005 she entered the Faulkton Healthcare Center where she remained until her passing.
Some of her hobbies over the years included sewing, knitting, crocheting, gardening and being an all out Cubs fan.
Numerous nieces and nephews survive Dorothea.

I last got to visit with Great Aunt Dorothea in 2002 when I made my trip to South Dakota to see my grandmother Stella. My father was Roger Loeb. I had not been to S.D. since my great grandmother’s 90th birthday. It was a nice visit and Dorothea helped me with memories of the Loeb family that I was interested in knowing about and she even wrote to me and sent me more information. I will miss her. We wish you fond memories.

We celebrate her new life in heaven with her Lord. We continue
share memories of her and the Bettmann family with our families.
God’s Blessings to all.
