Summary: Arleth Ann Mann went home to be with Jesus on September 13, 2024, at CHI St. Alexius Health. Her funeral service was held September 18, 2024, at Inspire Family Fellowship, Bismarck, ND. Burial was at North Dakota Veterans Cemetery, Mandan, ND, where she joined her husband, Don. Arlie A. Reuer was born November 5, 1939, in Bowdle, SD, to Rudolph and Katherine (Buxcel) Reuer. Arlie grew up with her seven siblings on a farm north of Hoven, SD, where she attended a one-room rural schoolhouse for grades 1-8. She graduated from Hoven High School in 1957. From there she journeyed to Minneapolis, MN, where she attended Humboldt Airline School. She then went to work for the Prudential Insurance Company. Later, she returned to South Dakota where she worked for the county welfare office in Gettysburg, SD, for seven years. She married the love of her life, Donald D. Mann, on May 1, 1960, and lived in Gettysburg. They had three sons, Curtis Alan, Michael Ray, and Bradley Dean. They later moved to Mobridge, SD, where her husband owned a Standard service station and Arlie was the bookkeeper. Then they moved to Warner, SD, where Don went to work in insurance sales and Arlie worked as the secretary for Warner Public School. After three years in Warner, they were transferred to Bismarck, ND, with Don’s insurance business in 1974, where they resided ever since. Arlie continued her secretarial skills as a secretary/bookkeeper for Main and Company Realtors and eventually went to full-time license training for insurance agents throughout the state of North Dakota for 38 years. With her insurance experience, she then started an insurance business where she eventually specialized in Medicare insurance which became her passion, and she serviced nearly 1,000 customers. Over the years, Arlie was an active member of Lord of Life Lutheran Church, Charity Lutheran Church and attended Inspire Family Fellowship for the past several years. She loved her Lord her entire life. She taught Sunday school for many years, sang in the choir, served on the Vision Council, and led several Bible studies. Arlie loved gardening, baking, canning, dancing, including square dancing, playing cards, especially bridge, and entertaining family and friends. Earlier years found her enjoying bowling very much. She also loved watching baseball and was an avid Minnesota Twins fan. Of all the things she enjoyed, she loved her family and grandchildren, and all the times spent with them when they were growing up, and especially spending holidays hosting her family. She followed her son’s sports and also followed her grandchildren’s sports and different activities. She was very proud of her sons and their families. Arlie was the best grandmother, mother, sister, wife, and friend you could ever ask for. She had a huge impact on her entire family over her lifetime and is now reunited with her husband Don in heaven, where they are dancing together again. She will be missed by many, but never forgotten. Arlie is survived by her three sons, Curtis Alan (Ranita), Michael Ray (Carrie), Bradley Dean (Jane); six grandchildren, Brandon (Carly), Ashlee (Dave), Scott (Tegan), Taylor, Jordan (Breanna), and Sidney; two great-grandchildren, Olivia and Hudson; her sisters, Delores (Ervin) Buechler, Aberdeen, SD, Marina (Lenny) Gross, Burnsville, MN; her brothers, Alfred (Carol), Aberdeen, SD, and Norb (Barb), Faulkton, SD; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband of 56 years, Don; her parents; three brothers, Harvey, Rollie, and Orvie; and one sister, Doris Jean, who died in infancy.
