Amanda (Kiemele) Holwegner was born on June 12, 1910, to August and Caroline (Beck) Kiemele at Turtle Lake, N.D. The family, which ultimately consisted of 10 children, moved to Herreid. Amanda attended grade school in Selfridge, N.D. In 1924 Amanda started working at Day's General Store in Walker. While working in Walker she served a promising new performer named Lawrence Welk. She also met her future husband, Henry Holwegner, Sr., there. On Dec. 25, 1928, Amanda and Henry were married. To this union five children were born: Ruth (Holwegner) Kraft, Piedmont; William "Bill" Holwegner, Leawood, Kan.; Elaine (Holwegner) Morrall, Flagstaff, Ariz.; Leonard "Jim" Holwegner, formerly of McLaughlin and now deceased; and Henry "Hank" Holwegner, Hermosa. Amanda was very active in the community of McLaughlin. She was a founding member of the McLaughlin Hospital and was chairwoman of the McLaughlin Hospital Auxiliary. She was also instrumental with the Legion Auxiliary, Women of the Lutheran Church (ECLA), Senior Citizens, and many other organizations. In 1960, Amanda was nominated Mother of the Year for South Dakota. She was an accomplished seamstress and was widely known for her work. Over her lifetime Amanda sewed over a hundred quilts for various charities. In addition to being a devoted mother and grandmother, Amanda traveled extensively throughout the United States (including New England, California, New York City, Washington, DC, and Alaska). In 1990, the same year that the Berlin Wall fell, and at the age of 80, Amanda traveled with her younger sister Edna to visit Switzerland, Germany, and Portugal. Amanda was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, four brothers, two sisters and one son. She is survived by four children: Ruth, Bill, Elaine and Hank; eight grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren. From 1929 to 1966, Amanda lived on a farm in rural Walker. For the next 35 years (1966-2001) she resided in McLaughlin. Amanda worked at her daughter Ruth's hardware store for 20 years. Since 2001 Amanda lived in Piedmont. She was also active with the Piedmont Senior Citizens group and Sewing Club. Meade County Times-Tribune
