Milo James Hamann

   MILO JAMES HAMANN, age 85, of Luverne, died Tuesday, November 16, 2021, at the Sanford Luverne Medical Center. He was born August 22, 1936, in Luverne, to John and Alma (Ahrendt) Hamann.

   He graduated from Luverne High School in 1955 and married his high school sweetheart, Beatrice “Betty” McClure, one year later at Grace Lutheran Church in Luverne. The couple has lived in the same house in Luverne for the past 58 years and just celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary.

   Milo has been an active member in the church his entire life.  He set an example of being hard working, loyal and was passionate for what he believed in. He was an usher at church and participated in the couples club with Betty.  He also made sure to bring the kids along to shovel snow before services at church.

   Milo spent a lot of time farming and custom baling; he was also employed at the Luverne IBP, Ketterling Services Inc., and Luverne Bumper, in Brandon, SD. His charming personality seemed to comfort others as he would have charismatic conversations with family, friends and strangers.  He always had a joke to tell and a witty sense of humor.

   Milo is survived by his wife, Betty; five children, Douglas (Carolyn) Hamann, Rolla, MO; Deb (Ken) Dixon, Luverne; Tim (Carol) Hamann, Becker, MN; Gerry Hamann, Luverne; and Terry (Veronica) Hamann, Luverne; eight grandchildren, Joshua Hamann, Naomi Hamann, Adam Hamann, Jenna (Jon) Schaeffer, Zach (Laura) Hamann, Rachel Snyders, Caitlyn Snyders, and Hailey (Hunter) Robinson; and two great-grandchildren, Marta Schaeffer, and Eliana Schaeffer.

   He was preceded in death by his parents; infant son, Jimmy; daughter in-law, Connie Hamann; and son-in-law, Greg Snyders.
