Margery "Marge" Skovlund, 77, of White, passed away on December 22, 2022, at her home while receiving hospice care.  Funeral services will be held on Friday, December 30, 2022, at the Grace Free Lutheran Church in Bruce, South Dakota, at 2:00 P.M.  Burial will immediately follow the service at St. Petri Cemetery in Bruce.  Friends and Family are invited to the church following burial to share in a time of fellowship and a light meal.  Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service, beginning at 1:00 P.M. at the church.  Eidsness Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.

Margery Ann Skovlund was born on August 19, 1945, to Eddie and Lenora (Hansen) Meisenheimer in Brookings, South Dakota.  She spent her youth growing up in the Brookings and White area, attending country school.

On January 20, 1964, she was united in marriage to Adolph Skovlund in Pipestone, Minnesota, and on July 6, 1964, the couple welcomed their daughter, Dawn.  Following Dawn's birth, the couple farmed north of White with family, and also milked dairy cows.

When Adolph and Margery retired from farming, Margery began working as a housekeeper at the Staurolite Inn in Brookings.  She later became the head of laundry for the White Care Center when it opened in White, working there for over 30 years where she retired due to her health.

Margery enjoyed completing crossword puzzles and working on crafts in her free time.  She also loved being outdoors where she could watch birds and garden.

Margery is survived by her daughter, Dawn Skovlund, of White; brother, Larry (Sandy) Meisenheimer, of Brookings; sister, Louise Skovlund, of Brookings; sister, Marlys Rezaian, of Lincoln, NE; brother, Jim (Cindy) Meisenheimer, of Elkton, SD; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Adolph Skovlund; her parents; her brother, Marvin Meisenheimer; sister, Mary Ellis; sister, Judy Dahl; and sister, Cora Kasdorf.
