Read More	Evelyn Lois Andrews "Andy" Friese, age 98, of Huron, passed away on Monday, November 25, 2013, at the SunQuest Healthcare Center in Huron, SD. Her Memorial service will be held at 1:00 p.m. Saturday, November 30, 2013, at the Congregational United Church of Christ with a private family burial at the Riverside Cemetery. Visitation with the family present will be from 6-8 p.m. Friday, November 29, at the Welter Funeral Home; or one hour prior to the service at the Church. Evelyn was born January 14, 1915, on a farm near Huron as the first of nine children of Ned N. Andrews and Erma Choate Andrews. Shortly after Evelyn's May 27, 1932 graduation from Huron High School, she went to work at Huron's Good Samaritan Hospital. This led her to a four-month preliminary program of nurse training and evaluation at Huron's Sprague Hospital School of Nursing. She got the nod, which meant going thru a "capping" ceremony in which she changed from black shoes and socks to white shoes and socks, started wearing a nursing cap, and blazed away with her hands-on training. This three-year program got her a Registered Nurse (RN) ticket. It was 1935—during a period known as the Dirty Thirties. An on-the-doorstep-of-death patient of Evelyn's with dust pneumonia was Huronian Victor Friese. Evelyn's skill applying mustard packs to the chest are credited with saving Victor's life—an event that resulted in their falling in love. The Sprague RN job-placement program landed Evelyn a job in St. Paul; Victor soon followed, and they were married there December 17th, 1936. They returned to Huron by early 1939, where they enjoyed the rest of their lives. Evelyn enjoyed being a full-time Mom in the raising of her three children, was a member of the Congregational Church/United Church of Christ for over 50 years, and tenaciously held onto her nursing career over the years at Huron Clinic. She was always mild-mannered, unselfish, and had a positive, "Thou shalt not covet" approach to life. She regularly encouraged her children to be helpful, stay healthy, follow rules, be useful members of the society and keep a strong work ethic. She liked to wash clothes and iron and clean and cook and bake and can and darn socks and make popcorn balls and candles and knit and crochet and sew and make clothes. She had one of those old sewing machines you make go with your feet, and she had one of those old popcorn poppers with a handle on top you turn. She was a Frank Sinatra fan, and epitomized his The House I Live In. As a member of The Greatest Generation, she was a team player and supported her Countrymen during the Dirty Thirties and World War II. She truly liked people and enjoyed interacting with neighbors, co-workers, and other volunteers working with Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, nursing groups, Sunday School, Women's Fellowship and other ladies' groups. Evelyn is survived by her sons Ronnie (Bernice) of Minneapolis, and Larry (Lillian) of Monterey, California, her daughter Mary Jane (George James) of Woodstock, Georgia, one sister Mae, two brothers Ted and Jim, and a multitude of grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. Evelyn was preceded in death by her husband Victor, four sisters, one brother, one grandchild, one great-grandchild and one nephew. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sdwildflower # 48395628 provided links to parents. ~ 1-8-2022
