Read More	Jane Grace Ries died May 14, 2018 at Oakview Terrace in Freeman, South Dakota with her family at her side. She reached the age of 87 years, 9 Months, and 19 days. She was born July 25, 1930 in Childstown Township to Leon and Lena Kaufman. She joined a family which included a sister, Doris, and two brothers, Delbert and Clyde. She attended country school at Hillside District # 92, graduated from Freeman Academy, and received her teaching certificate from Freeman Junior College. Upon her confession of faith, Jane was baptized by Rev. Willard Claassen at Salem Mennonite Church of rural Freeman on October 28, 1945, where she remained a faithful, active, life-long member. It was after a year of teaching that she attracted the attention of one particular, persistent neighbor boy, and on August 17, 1950, she married the man of her dreams, Marvin Ries, at the Salem Mennonite Church, with Rev. Willard Claassen officiating. They were blessed with sixty-five years and eleven months together. Mother had numerous passions, which included her devotion to her church. She was actively involved in Sunday School teaching, various committees, and her Women in Missions group. Support for her school, Freeman Academy, was also very important to her as she served for decades in the Women’s Auxiliary. She was an avid gardener, with an almost magical touch when it came to fruits, vegetables, and flowers, and her love of music was unending. But her greatest passion was for her family, and especially her nine grandchildren. Sundays and holidays at Grandma’s was an event, and her days of hosting, entertaining, and of course, mealtimes will be missed the most. Her spirit will live on in her survivors, sons Murray (Emily), Karl, and daughters Lynelle (Steve) Andal and Susan (Jon) Bot. Surviving grandchildren include Micah, Amanda, and Alexandra Ries, Michelle Parsons Bernaix, Shannon, and Kyle Parsons, Trevor and Matthew Andal, and Kelli (Bot) Spader, six great grandchildren, one sister-in-law, Ardelle (Allen) Schrag, two brothers-in law, Alan Ries and Lemoyne (JoAnn) Ries, and many nieces, nephews, and friends. Jane is preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Marvin, two infant grandsons, Adam and Aaron Ries, brothers and sisters-in-law Bervin and Doris Sherard, Delbert and Dolores Kaufman, Clyde and Fern Kaufman, Sara Ries, and nieces Judith Kaufman, Karen Cressman, and Lori Candee.
