    Notes:

    Name:
    Delores Eleanor "Diz" Coffman, 89, of Amarillo, Texas, formerly of Munday and Stratford Texas, passed peacefully, surrounded by loving family, on December 20th, 2021.

    Memorial services will be held Monday, January 3rd, 2022, at the First United Methodist Church in Stratford, TX. Chaplain Dr. G. A. Roach will be officiating with graveside services to follow. Arrangements are by Boxwell Brothers Funeral Directors.

    This is the story of Diz Coffman.

    Born "Delores" to George and Alice Markley on June 29th, 1932, in Highmore, South Dakota. She was 1 of 11 children born to a small-town family. A gently-reared South Dakota lass found herself swept off her feet by "Powder" Coffman, a not so mild-mannered Texas Cowboy spending his senior year at Highmore. The consequences and ensuing "wild ride" lasted 73 years. Powder Coffman defined her life. She lost the love of her life in 2005 and became the Matriarch of our family with great grace and poise.

    Powder moved Diz (and Baby Colleen) to Stratford, Texas, and planted her right in the middle of a nest of Coffmans. Diz thrived even in the "Little Dude" (a two-room house), and they added Carey Ted to the family, moving to a trailer house in the country. Here Diz was introduced to Tornado Alley when 2?- not 1?- of her trailer homes were destroyed. Just as Diz was getting her family grown, she was blessed with Chad.

    Thankfully Diz could make any place a home. She was a bit like Jesus with the loaves and fishes. She could conjure a meal out of nothing and a party out of almost nothing. Stratford Methodist Church ladies are still passing around her recipes.

    Being able to spend the remainder of her life in her own home was an incredible blessing for Diz. She ceaselessly created, entertained, wrote poetry, gardened, and painted. Healthy, active, independent, and close to loved ones, her contagious energy, dry wit, and love of pranks lasted her entire life. She always had quite a story, which occasionally changed with the telling. The official family optimist above all else, her legacy to our family is immense and her impact on us all will last for generations.

    She was the last in the life of her 5 brothers and 5 sisters and was preceded in death by her parents, George and Alice Markley; her husband, Homer Ted "Powder" Coffman; a grandson, Christopher Bennett; and a great-grandson, Carter McCloud.

    She is survived by her three children, Colleen, Carey, and Chad; her grandchildren, Korte, Keitha, Ky, and Heather; and 4 great-grandchildren, Paisley, Evan, Zegan, and Harper.

    The family requests, in lieu of flowers or other honorariums, that everyone considers unconditional love of others, the forgiveness of the undeserving, eternal optimism, and encouragement to all who struggle or doubt.

    Notes:

    Name:
    Beverly 'Bev' Jerke was lifted on the wings of angels to be with her Savior on June 14, 2011. We are comforted knowing she now dances with Angels and walks with Jesus.
    She was born the last of 11 children to George and Alice Markley in Highmore, SD, on June 4, 1940. After high school Bev went on to graduate from Nettleton College. After college, she lived in the Pierre area and worked at the Capital for the Secretary of Education.
    It was a chance meeting that she met the man she would eventually be married to for over 50 years, Clarence Jerke. They settled in the Carter, SD, area where they farmed, ranched, and raised eight children. Eventually they moved to their favorite vacation spot, the Black Hills, where they opened a greenhouse and lawn and garden service. As the children grew up, so the house grew empty, and the prairie sunsets came calling. They move to Alliance, NE, where they lived until returning to the Black Hills for health reasons.
    Bev always had a joke to tell, and an infectious laugh. She was a master storyteller whether it was reminiscing down to the minutest details of past experiences, or making up an unforgettable bedtime story on the fly. Through all the trials and tribulations that came her way, she always maintained an optimistic outlook, which inspired us all. Her strong faith in the Lord carried her through all. Bev had the ability to turn thunderstorms into rainbows, truly blessing all who knew and loved her.
    Beverly is survived by the love of her life, Clarence Jerke, of Hot Springs, SD, her eight children, Doug Jerke, Alliance, NE, Lee (Alma) Jerke, Alliance, NE, Scott Jerke, Winter Park, CO, Deb (Dave) Nelson, Great Falls, MT, Sandie (Jason) Ingersoll, Rapid City, SD, Matt (Sue) Jerke, Monteagle, TN, Karen (Curtis) Street, Hill City, SD, Jake Jerke, Rapid City, SD, and what we called her "9th child", her precious shih tzu Molly, seven grandchildren and 2 sisters, Diz Coffman, Amarillo, TX, and Bernie Barnes, Huron, SD. She was preceded in death by eight of her brothers and sisters, her parents, and one grandchild.
    Special thanks and gratitude to the residents and staff at the State Veterans Home in Hot Springs for enabling Bev to live her last years to the fullest. Thanks also to the incomparable care and expertise provided over the past five years from both the Hot Springs and Rapid City medical staff, hospitals, and clinics.
    Funeral services will be Saturday, June 18, at the State Veterans Home in Hot Springs, SD. Burial service will be Monday, June 20, at Black Hills National Cemetery near Sturgis, SD.
    Memorial Donations may be made to the American Diabetes Association. Arrangements have been placed in the care of McColley's Chapel of the Hills in Hot Springs.
