The family is requested to meet at the church on Thursday by 9:30 a.m. to attend the service. Memorials may be directed to Prairie Lakes Hospice. Dennis was born on October 13, 1930, on the family farm north of Watertown, SD, to Peter J. and Katherine (Jellesma) Cordell. He attended school in Watertown and helped his parents on the farm. On October 13, 1954, Dennis married Edna Byer at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in Florence, SD. Besides farming, Dennis was a brakeman for C & NW Railroad, he operated Cordell Trucking, and he graded gravel township roads. He was very passionate about farming and considered it his therapy. He was a lifetime member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, where he was very active and also sang in the St. Francis Choir. One example of his active involvement was that he ensured that the original rose window (with outside lighting) was placed in the new sanctuary when Immaculate Conception Church was rebuilt in the 1990's. Dennis and Edna shared travels to Rome in 1975, to the Holy Land and to Guadalupe, Mexico. He enjoyed telling stories and always started them with, "Say… I got a true story to tell ya." Dennis is survived by his wife, Edna, of Watertown; two sons: Linus and his wife, Mary Cordell, of Watertown, SD, and Leon and his wife, SaDonna Cordell, of Custer, SD; one daughter, Corrine, and her husband, John Hamre, of Wichita Falls, TX; two brothers: Lavern and his wife, Shirley Cordell, and Venard and his wife, Mena Cordell, all of Watertown, SD; three sisters: Lorraine DeVille, of Sioux Falls, SD, JoAnn and her husband, Wendell Gnat, of Huron, SD, and Karen and her husband, Bob Goodell, of Omaha, NE; and five grandchildren. He was preceded in death by one granddaughter, Ashley; his parents; and one brother, James.
