Lydia Dallman, age 98, of Storm Lake, Iowa, died Monday, April 18, 2005, at Spencer Municipal Hospital in Spencer, Iowa.

Lydia Amalia Helene Friedrich was born October 6, 1906, in Rock Rapids, Iowa, to Reverend Max and Marie (Albrecht) Friedrich. She was baptized on October 21, 1906. When she was three weeks old, her father received a call from St. John’s congregation in Fairville, Iowa, which he accepted and moved his family there.

Lydia attended parochial school, taught by her father, until she was confirmed on May 25, 1919, by her father. After graduating from Fenton High School, she attended college at Estherville, Iowa, then taught country school in Kossuth County, Iowa. Lydia attended Teachers College in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where she became an office secretary, bookkeeper and inspector.

On April 27, 1927, Lydia was united in marriage to Gus Dallman in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Two children blessed their union: Evelyn and Delores.

Lydia and her husband were members of St. John Lutheran Church since 1929. She was a member of Kingdom Workers and assisted her husband, who was chair of the Evangelism committee for many years.

Lydia enjoyed gardening, camping, fishing, solving puzzles and doing fancy work. She also liked to cook and bake and enjoyed playing cards. Lydia treasured her family and the time she was able to spend with them. She was the sole survivor of the Max Friedrich family, and also of the Dallman family.

Among those left to cherish her memory are her two daughters, Evelyn Meyer of Alta, Iowa, and Delores (Jerry) Holliday of Storm Lake, Iowa; grandchildren: Dennis (Helen) Holliday and Patty (Mike) Jones of Storm Lake, Iowa, Sue (Loren) Ripke of Mt. Vernon, Iowa, Linda (Jack) Tucker of Thousand Oaks, California, Rick (Janet) Meyer of Alta, Iowa, and Marcia (Kenneth) Johnson of Tucson, Arizona; 16 great-grandchildren; eight great-great-grandchildren; and other relatives and friends.

Lydia was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, three brothers: Walter, Arthur and Reverend Paul; three sisters: Esther Keuhnast, Elizabeth Smith and Ruth Kirchhof; and her son-in-law, Bill Meyer.
