Albrecht, 97, of Aberdeen, SD, formerly of Columbia, SD, and Groton, SD, will be 1:30pm, Tuesday, June 1, 2021, at Columbia Congregational UCC with Pastor Eldon Reich and Pastor Sheila Apland-Ottenbacher officiating.

A prayer service will be at 7:00pm followed by an Eastern Star Service at Spitzer-Miller Funeral Home, 1111 South Main Street. Female Borden, later named Grace Emmelene, was born to parents George and Erna (Achen) Borden on June 1, 1923. She grew up in the Hecla, SD, area, attending various country schools and Hecla High School. Grace met the love of her life, Frederick Albrecht, at a St. Patrick's dance in Houghton, SD. He became her constant companion after their marriage on October 30, 1940, in Britton, SD. Together they began their life as farmers in the Columbia, SD, area. They eventually moved onto the Albrecht Farm Homestead in 1956. In 1975 they moved to Las Vegas, NV, for health reasons and returned to South Dakota in 1993 to Groton to be closer to family. They became the parents of five children: Lester (passed away at 2½ years), Beverly, Lavonne, Wilbur and Leland. They instilled in their children faith in God, strong family values and community service. Later they became foster parents to several children. Her foster son James Grace and his family have remained a part of Grace's family. During her lifetime, Grace was a very busy and on-the-go lady. She was a member of Columbia United Church of Christ and the women's fellowship; Order of Eastern Star; and Groton Garden Club. She was also a member of Daughters of the Nile, where she was past Queen, Farmer's Union, where she served as a youth leader, Groton Senior Citizens, Andover Study Club, numerous bridge clubs, and Merry-Go-Round Extension Club until her health prevented her. Grace was a 70-year member of Adah Chapter #52 Order of the Eastern Star in Claremont, SD. She started a legacy in the South Dakota OES Grand Chapter in 1956 when she was appointed to the office of Grand Esther and since that time, five members of her family have been appointed to the same office through the years. Grace truly enjoyed being active, but family remained most important to her. Her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren all know her love and support. She remembered the birthday date of every family member and attended as many activities as possible. She was quite the lady who loved the color purple and will be missed by many. Grace was talented at craft making, enjoyed vegetable and flower gardening, and food preservation. She was a coin collector. Her participation in several Columbia Community Plays in the 1950's helped to build the school auditorium. She liked traveling and she and Fred were Arizona snowbirds. Grace was an avid baseball fan, especially the Minnesota Twins. Grateful for having shared Grace's life are children: Beverly Sombke, Groton, SD, Lavonne Gesling, Harrisburg, SD, Wilbur (Judy) Albrecht, Columbia, SD, and Leland (Vickie) Albrecht, Wisconsin Rapids, WI; foster son: James Grace, Sioux Falls, SD; grandchildren: Brad (Kristie) Sombke, Brenda (Brad) Waage, Todd (Tracie) Gesling, Chris (Michele) Gesling, Jon (Casey) Gesling, Mara (Kerry) Hart, Cherie (Mickie) Johnson, Shad Albrecht (friend Lisa Able and her son Gavin Younger); Carrie Lauersdorf, Jane (Gary) Mantolesky; foster grandchildren: Jodee Westerbur, Bobbie (Chris) Safar, Brandi Grace, and Amanda (Cameron) Benolkin; great-grandchildren: Kayla (Caleb) Egger, Elise Sombke (Fiancé Seth Hougesen), Tanner (Megan) Waage, Anthony Waage, Jake Gesling, Riley Gesling, Grace Gesling, Avery Gesling, Alyshia (Cory) Reiff, Jordan Gesling, Julia Gesling, Justin (Jessica) Hart, Travis (Shelby) Hart, Jamie Hart (Brandon Lewis), Cheyann (Scott) Mann, Camyjo (Hunter) Weber, Marqelle Albrecht (Michael Reide), Jade (Mikia) Albrecht, Maycee (Tyler) Hatzenbeller, Jeric Albrecht (Hailey Elsen), Breaden Lauersdorf, Ava Lauersdorf, Mia Lauersdorf, Emma Mantolesky, and Olivia Mantolesky; foster great-grandchildren: Justice Westerbur, Jackson Westerbur, Julia Westerbur, Taylor (Aaron) Engebretson, Tessa (Jordyn) Henderson, Kennedy Safar, Zoey Quincey, and Aiden Scott; great-great-grandchildren: Thomas Egger, Cole Reiff, Jaxon Hart, Bralyn White, Zoie Fischbach, Greyson Hart, Korbin Mann, Rylan Mann, Penelope Weber, Hank Reide, Vaela Albrecht, Roy Albrecht, and Regis Hatzenbeller; brother-in-law: James Fuerst; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
