    Notes:

    Charline Jurgens, age 91, of Milbank died March 10th at St. William's Care Center.

    Charline Mary (Allen) Jurgens was born March 10, 1917, in Milbank, SD. She was the daughter of Charles and Margaret (Rowan) Allen. She attended St. Lawrence Catholic School and graduated from Milbank High School in 1935. She worked in the Welfare Office at the Grant County Court House until her marriage on September 6, 1937, with Edward H. Jurgens.

    Charline was a woman of contrasts. She was ladylike … and opinionated. She lived by the Ten Commandments, yet she was loving and tolerant of those who did not keep them. She was frugal and generous. She was not a talker, but she was a masterful communicator. She was full of humility, but intensely proud of her children and grandchildren.

    Charline was what many today would consider a domestic artist. A spotless home, and particularly a warm kitchen, was her canvas. She was known for her specialties: dill pickles, strawberry jam, banana bread, peanut cookies and the highly sought-after peanut croquettes. It is a rare person who can work such magic with the simplest of ingredients. If it is possible to show love by doing for others, Charline exhibited incredible love for her family and friends every minute that she was slicing, stirring, chopping, boiling and baking. We are all so fortunate to have enjoyed her love, sweet enough to taste.

    Charline was a member of St. Lawrence Catholic Church and was active with the Altar Society.She was a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters.

    Charline Jurgens is survived by two daughters: Ann and husband James Bryan of Sun City West, AZ and Teresa and husband Dick Skaarer of Milbank; two sons: Dick and wife Robbie Jurgens of Watertown, SD and Michael wife Tracy Jurgens of Aberdeen, SD; one daughter-in-law: Barbara Jurgens of Brandon, SD; 19 grandchildren, 26 great grandchildren; one brother, Lyle Allen of Braham, MN; two sisters-in-law: Joyce Allen of Milbank and Donna Schuneman of Scotts Bluff, NE.

    She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, son, David, three sisters: Joyce, Betty, and Helen and two brothers, Jim Allen and Claire Schuneman.

    Mass of Christian Burial will be Thursday, March 13th at St. Lawrence Catholic Church in Milbank. Father Ken Lulf will officiate and burial will be in the St. Lawrence Cemetery. Con-celebrants will be Father John McMullen, OSB and Father Matthew Kowalski, OSB.

    Honorary bearers will be her granddaughters: Kristi Bickelhaupt, Kari Kraemer, Lori Essig, JoAnna Olson, Jennifer Jurgens, Liza Holbert, Abby Kemp, and Cali Skaarer.

    Casket bearers will be his grandsons: Mark Bryan, Jon Bryan, Tom Bryan, Tony Jurgens, Thad Jurgens, Tyler Jurgens, Mitch Jurgens, Josh Jurgens, Dan Jurgens, Eric Jurgens, and Isac Skaarer.
