It is with much sadness that I am sending this announcement.  Cleta Lentsch, a long time member of the SD Patriot Guard, our HOTH Coordinator and the wife of our State Captain, Jim Lentsch, passed away Tuesday April 9th, 2024 at Avera hospital in Sioux Falls, SD after losing her battle with cancer.  She has been a great friend to many of our members and in the Salem, SD community where she and Jim have lived for many years.  I am sending a copy of the primary obituary for the information concerning the locations for visitation and Memorial Mass of Christian Burial.

There will be a memorial mission sent out in the upcoming days.

Cleta Faye Lentsch
