Diane Dreyer
Diane S. Dreyer, 79, of Fairchild, passed away Sunday, April 24, 2022, at her son’s home in Huron, South Dakota, while in hospice care.

Diane Susan Geisdorf, daughter of James and Angeline (Sokolosky) Geisdorf was born July 22, 1942. She was raised with her brother and 4 sisters on the family farm in Fairchild Township and graduated from Fairchild High School in 1960. After high school she moved to Milwaukee, where she was employed by the Allen-Bradley Company. While working there she met fellow employee Richard F. Dreyer, and the two were later united in marriage on August 29, 1964, in Milwaukee. The couple lived in Milwaukee where they raised their son. Diane took a cake decorating class while in Milwaukee and decorated many birthday and wedding cakes for family and friends. She also enjoyed shopping, eating out and doing church fundraisers. The Family enjoyed their weekends up north visiting Diane’s family and spending time on their property in Greenwood. Due to her husband’s failing health, in 2015 he entered the Augusta Nursing Home and at this time Diane sold her home in Milwaukee and moved back to her hometown of Fairchild.
