Lawrence P. Ishmael, son of Otto and Eve (Snodgrass) Ishmael, was born March 18, 1925 at May, OK. He died Friday, July 11, 2008 at Avera Sacred Heart Hospital in Yankton, SD, from complications after a fall from a ladder. Lawrence attained the age of 83 years, three months and 25 days.
Lawrence moved with his family to South Dakota in 1927, when he was two years old. He attended country school in the Marty/Greenwood area through the eighth grade.
Lawrence served during WW II in the US Navy as a Seaman 1st Class.
Lawrence married Mildred Fuchs at St. Leo's Catholic Church in Tyndall on February 12, 1952. A son, Michael, was blessed to their union. They farmed west of Springfield until 1963. They then moved to the Heusinkveld farm and Lawrence also did carpentry work and began building a new home in Springfield. In 1971, they moved into Springfield where he began his plumbing business and was later joined in the business by his son.
Lawrence was a member of St. Vincent's Catholic Church, the Dwight Wood American Legion Post and a 31 year member of the Springfield Fire Department, where he served as past chief.
Lawrence will be remembered for his enjoyment of fishing in his younger years and simply working.
Thankful for having shared his life are his wife, Mildred; son, Mike, both of Springfield; two grandchildren: Jessica of Omaha, NE and Duane of Yankton; two great grandchildren (and one on the way); two brothers: Louie of Pierre, Lotis and wife, Marjorie of Canadian, TX; two sisters: Coeta Cournoyer of Pierre, and Gwen Canfield and husband, Bob of Snowflake, AZ; nieces and nephews; and many friends.
Lawrence was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Kenneth and wife, Geraldine; sister, Jaunita Ishmael; and half sister, Alberta Ishmael.
