Obituary
Llewellyn Wormsbecker, 63, of Avon
Funeral services are 2 PM, Wednesday, January 4, 2012 at the Danzig Baptist Church, rural Avon. Burial is in the church cemetery with military honors. Visitation will be at the church on Tuesday from 4 to 7 PM with the family present from 5 to 7 PM. Crosby-Jaeger Funeral Chapel in Avon is in charge of arrangements.
Llewellyn O. Wormsbecker was born September 23, 1948 in Parkston, SD, the son of Otto and Esther (Schwaderer) Wormsbecker. He died Saturday, December 31, 2011 at Avera Sacred Heart Hospital in Yankton after a courageous battle with cancer. Llewellyn (Lew) attained the age of 63 years, three months and eight days.
Lew graduated from Avon High School in 1967 and then served his country in the Army National Guard for seven years. Shortly after his time serving, Lew was united in marriage to his lifetime love and best friend, Janet Reiff, on June 7, 1975 at the Danzig Baptist Church in Avon. Together, they raised three children: Christie, Chad and Lisa.
Lew loved farming and raising cattle, and became a perfectionist when it came to his farm. He was a member of the Cattleman's Association, President of Farm Bureau for many years and a lifetime member of the American Legion. Lew was an active member at the Danzig Baptist Church where he held several positions throughout the years. He enjoyed playing cards, especially pinochle, and will be remembered as a good friend, husband, dad, grandpa, brother, son and Christian. The past few years, he fought hard against the disease to remain with his kids and grandchildren who meant everything to him.
Thankful for having shared his life are his wife Janet of Avon; three children: Christie and husband Eddie Wobig of Canova; Chad and wife Erin Hammer of Prior Lake, MN; and Lisa and boyfriend Jesse Hines of St. Paul, MN; three grandchildren: Jaedon, Ashtyn and Brayden Wobig; mother, Esther Wormsbecker of Harrisburg; brother, Terry and wife Donna Wormsbecker of Avon; sister, Rhonda Brech of Harrisburg; and several nieces and nephews.
Llewellyn was preceded in death by his father, Otto, and grandson, Coledon Wobig.
