Visitation will be Tuesday, March 13th from 5-7 p.m. at Paetznick Garness Funeral Chapel in Groton, SD followed by a prayer service at 7:00 p.m. Jerry died Wednesday, March 7, 2018 at Manor Care Health Services in Aberdeen. Jerroll Lee Erdmann, son of Gilbert and Estella (Craig) Erdmann was born on May 13, 1932 in Groton, SD. He was raised on the family farm near Groton and graduated from Groton High School in 1950. After high school, Jerry worked with his parents on the farm before enlisting in the US Air Force in 1952. He was stationed at Gary Air Force Base in San Marcos, Texas where he worked as a helicopter mechanic during the Korean War. On August 31, 1956 he was united in marriage to Bonnie McCormick at San Marcos, Texas. After being honorably discharged from the US Air Force in 1956, Jerry and Bonnie moved to rural Groton, SD where they began their own farming operation while also working with Jerry’s parents on the farm. Jerry continued farming for the next 54 years before retiring and moving to Aberdeen, SD in 2010. Jerry had a love for the farm including his Registered Angus cattle herd, which he continued to expand and improve during his farming and ranching career. Jerry was always passionate about completing required farm work meticulously and efficiently, and loved to see the bounty of good crops and quality cattle which resulted from his hard work and dedication to the farm. Jerry served on area boards for many years including the Henry Township Board, Brown County Co-op in Aberdeen, Brown County Livestock Improvement Association, where he also served as president and the Ferney Farmers Elevator in Groton. He was a member of the American Legion Post #39 in Groton for the past 61 years and also was a member of the Masonic Lodge in Groton for the past 57 years, serving as Master of the Lodge in 1967 and again in 1971. He belonged to the American Angus Association since he began ranching in 1954. Jerry was a life long member of Presbyterian Churches in Groton, San Marcos, Texas (where he met Bonnie), and Aberdeen, SD. He was as an ordained elder and deacon of the Presbyterian Church. Jerry had countless friends and acquaintances. He was always very social with a great sense of humor, and it seemed regardless of where he traveled, he would greet someone who he had met previously. In later years he loved to travel and over the past 22 years he and Bonnie had spent the winters in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. He loved the weather in Cabo, and also the many new friends they met while there. Jerry was a selfless man and always more interested in others than himself. He will be missed by so many. Grateful for having shared Jerry’s live are his wife, Bonnie, daughter, Peri Lee Erdmann (Lyn Halvorson), Aberdeen, two sons, Michael Lee Erdmann (Marge Rohrbach), Aberdeen, and Darrin Lee (Julie) Erdmann, Groton; grandchildren: Derek (Kristen) Tvinnereim (Webster, SD), Brock Halvorson (Kelsey Mundt) (Westfield, New Jersey), Caleb (Christine) Halvorson (Sioux Falls), Brandon (Kristen) Dirksen (DesMoines, Ia), Dawson Erdmann (Aberdeen), Tessa Erdmann (Groton) and Jarrett Erdmann (Groton); great grandchildren: Kaden, Karter, Mia, and Max; one sister, Annette Rabasca, (Wilmington, Delaware), and many nieces, nephews, and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, and several brothers-in-law and sisters in-law. Honorary Urnbearers will be his Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren. Memorials will be given to the Episcopal Church in Groton, the Lazy Farmers 4-H Club, Groton FFA chapter & the American Cancer Society. - Paetznick - Garness Funeral Chapel
