Adeline Bruckner

Adeline Elizabeth Bruckner, 90, of Sioux Falls, SD, formerly Aberdeen, passed away Sunday, April 28, 2024, at Edgewood Memory Care.

Adeline Elizabeth Fischer was born on January 20, 1934, to Sylvester and Martha (Meier) Fischer in Ipswich, SD.  She grew up on the family farm and attended country school.

Adeline was united in marriage to Joseph Bruckner on February 19, 1951, in Ipswich, SD. The couple was blessed with eight children: Patricia, Linda, Joseph, Kathy, Barbara, Donald, Peggy, and Thomas.  Adeline and Joe settled on a farm near Ipswich, where they lived before moving to Loyalton, SD.  In 1975, the family relocated to Bath, SD.  In 1977, they settled in Aberdeen.

Adeline worked in the food industry as a cook and worked in various restaurants in Aberdeen. Her last place of employment was at Aberdeen Health and Rehab. Adeline worked up until she was eighty years old. She had a passion for flowers, and in the summer months, it was quite apparent by the lovely display of her planters filled with flowers. Adeline loved spending time with her family and friends and looked forward to holidays so everyone could be together.

Adeline moved to Primrose Memory Care in Aberdeen in December 2021 and to Edgewood Memory Care in Sioux Falls in August 2022 to be closer to her daughters. She resided here until her death.

Grateful for having shared Adeline’s life are her seven children: Linda (Dwight) Lehmann of Sioux Falls, SD, Joseph (Gina) Bruckner of Pleasant Ridge, MI, Kathy (Jay Brewster) Bruckner of Rapid City, SD, Barbara (Douglas) Stevenson of Madison, SD, Donald (Jodi) Bruckner of Box Elder, SD, Peggy (Kevin Marani) Bruckner of Pleasant Ridge, CA, and Thomas (Allison) Bruckner of Plymouth, MN; 18 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; sister-in-law Katherine Fischer; and many nieces and nephews.

Adeline was preceded in death by her parents; husband Joe; daughter Patricia; son-in-law Danny Peterson; brothers Mike and Albert; and sisters Kate and Caroline.
