Lillian Bindert  was born on Friday, January 2, 1920 on the family farm in Charles Mix County, South Dakota. Her parents were August and Karolina (Guthmiller) Weisser. She attended country school through the 8th grade. Following her schooling, she helped on the farm and helped her older sisters with their children. On February 25, 1940, Lillian was united in marriage to Harold Bindert in Hutchinson County. They farmed four miles west of Tripp for 24 years.  In 1964, they moved to Sioux Falls where Harold worked for the Sioux Falls school system as a custodian. Lillian worked for Raven Industries for 10 years and later worked in the housekeeping department of Sioux Valley Hospital for several years. Lillian loved spending time with her family and she especially enjoyed going out to eat with her children and grandchildren. She spent many hours doing crochet work, and will be remembered for her wonderful strawberry and apple pies. Due to declining health, Lillian entered the Good Samaritan Village in Sioux Falls in March of 2009.  It is there that she passed away peacefully on Tuesday, May 5, 2009 in the care of the Good Samaritan staff and AseraCare Hospice, having attained the age of 89 years, 4 months and 3 days.
Lillian’s memory will be cherished by her daughter, Carrol (Jerry) Juhnke of Parkston; her son, Allen (Millie) Bindert of Sioux Falls; five grandchildren: Kelly (Brad) Schnabel of Harrisburg, Deaun Perez of Sioux Falls, Shane (Paula) Bindert of Sioux Falls, Lisa (Shane) Erickson of Sioux Falls, and Ryan (Emily) Bindert of Mobile, Alabama; eleven great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren; a sister, Bertha Mochel of Tripp; a brother-in-law, Victor Mehlhaf of Menno; and two special friends, Ruth Farland and Jean Shinaberger, both of Sioux Falls.
She was preceded in death by her husband Harold in 1984; her parents, August and Karolina Weisser; five sisters: Lea Dewald, Ida Kaul Permann, Viola Melhalf, Marie Meisenholder and Esther Weisser; and three brothers: Arthur Weisser, Emil Weisser and an infant brother.
