Read More	From Kotrba-Smith Funeral Home: Esther Lindwurm Braun was born Nov. 21, 1924, to William and Lena (Kahler) Lindwurm at their farm home south of Gregory, SD. She was baptized and confirmed in Peace Lutheran Church, Carlock, SD. At 91, she still could recite her confirmation verse: Psalm 103:1-2: "Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits." Esther graduated from the 8th grade, then stayed on the farm to help with daily chores. On February 6, 1943, she married Helmer Braun. They lived on various farms in the Carlock area. Together they had five children: Theodore (Ted), Lucille (Lou), Ronald (Ron), Marvin and Marlin. Helmer passed away Dec. 2, 1969. Esther continued to live on the farm until 1976, when she moved to Gregory and found employment at the Gregory Hospital. She enjoyed her work there and remained in that job for 20 years. Her church was very important to her and she rarely missed a service. Esther loved spending time with her brothers and sisters, her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Over the years, she made many quilts for them. Eventually, Esther purchased her own home in Gregory. She was a great cook and hostess and entertained many guests there. When her home became too much for her to take care of, she moved into the Nemer Apartments and thoroughly enjoyed living there and playing cards and visiting with her neighbors. She made good friends with the other residents and continued being a hostess and entertaining guests. In May of 2016, she had a stroke and was then unable to live by herself, and so spent the last three months in the Lake Andes Nursing Home and then the Gregory Nursing Home. Not being able to walk and take care of herself was very hard for her, but Esther's faith in her Savior remained strong. She stated four days before her death, "I'm in a lot of pain, but I know it's nothing compared to the pain Jesus went through when he died on the cross for my sins." The nights got very long for her, but she said she got through them by praying continually for her children, brothers and sisters, and every grandchild, great grandchild, and great-great grandchild she had. On August 27th, she tried to get up on her own, fell and broke her pelvis, and was put in the Gregory Hospital where God called her home to heaven peacefully at 9:40 AM on August 31st, 2016. Esther is survived by her children: Ted (Janet), Lou (Ralph), Ron (Sharyl), Marvin (Julie), and Marlin (Sharon), 16 grandchildren, 29 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great grandchild, her siblings: Elsie Fode, William Lindwurm, Alvina Wonnenberg, and John Lindwurm, nieces, nephews, neighbors and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Helmer Braun, daughter-in-law Faye, granddaughter Jodi Rae, sisters Rosie Sengelman, Christena (Tena) Neuharth and Ella Hanson, brother Philip Lindwurm, and several brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, and nephews.
