Lillian "Siss" Foell, 92, Dickinson, formerly of Hazelton, died June 17, 2005, at her residence in Dickinson. Funeral services were held at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, June 30, at the Hazelton Presbyterian Church, with the Rev. Scott McKirdy officiating. Burial was in the Hazelton Cemetery.
Lillian "Siss" Foell was a woman who made a difference. Born Dec. 15, 1912, she joined her beloved husband Quinten in heaven on June 17, 2005. She was the surviving twin whom made a difference in her mom's (Carrie Klipstein Agnew) life. She kept her mom company in the early hours of the morning while the next day's bread rose, and then "worked like a man" improving the quality of first, her father's, (Melvin Agnew) farm, and after her marriage to Quinten Foell in 1932, their own family farm. She made a difference in her children's lives, Alferd and Lenora Foell, Casselton, Bonnie and Keith Olson , St. Maries, Idaho, and Jude and Terry Bullinger, Dickinson, by bringing them up to love their families, teaching them to be good neighbors and how to put in a good days work.
She made a difference in the lives of everyone she met, which the folks from Revlon agreed with awarding her a "Woman Who Makes a Difference" award. She remembered everyone with cards and letters until her eyesight failed and then it was the short but sweet and newsy phone calls. No one that tasted her buns will ever forget them, she was noted for cookies, cinnamon rolls and the chokecherry jelly that put her in the "Sure Jell's Hall of Fame." Anyone that visited her home was sure to at least share a cup of coffee and some heavenly treat. You never left her home empty handed, she shared whatever goody she had made that day.
Her life was filled with friends, laughter, card games and a love of dancing. Preferring dancing to eating she loved the music that her siblings made so easily. There was always time at the end of a long hard day to dance if the opportunity arose.
She was preceded in death by her partner of 64 years, Quinten Foell in 1996.
She leaves three children; seven grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren and one brother, Elmer Agnew, Bismarck. She also leaves special nieces and nephews and an extra ordinary number of friends. Siss's life was documented in a book entitled "Lill's Courage" as taken from her journals from 1932 to 1955. It tells of her early years on the North Dakota prairie farm, gardening, canning, milking, raising sheep and raising her children. (Myers Funeral Home, Linton)
