Susie Deppner

Susie Deppner gained her angel wings on September 07, 2025. Susie was 59 years old. Susie’s life would seem too short to many, but those of us who were blessed to be touched by her understand that her existence and the imprint she left on our hearts and lives exceed the quantity of time that she stayed here. Susie was talented and adventurous in many aspects of her life. She was adept at entrepreneurial endeavors, known for her unwavering passion to help others, and an outgoing socialite. When Susie couldn’t be found in the house, she could be found in the backyard tending to her garden; she was very proud of the life that she could cultivate. She went from having a black thumb to having a gardener’s green thumb and was very proud of herself.

Her fondest memories she would talk about was spending weekends on the family yacht at the marina. She feared nothing. She even opted to be the first to go up in the parasail the family purchased. Her biggest desire was to skydive and go up in a hot air balloon. She did get her hot air balloon ride with her daughter and granddaughter.

She would always say that when she loves, she loves hard and fights hard for those she cared about. She was a relentless advocate who championed for her children to receive the best education they could get. Not a day went by where Susie didn’t talk about how much her children and grandchildren meant to her. Her family was arguably her most important achievement in life.

Susie was well travelled. She lived in many states and travelled overseas. She made friends everywhere she went and created lasting memories. She enjoyed travelling and seeing all the different parts of the United States.

Susie is survived by her loving soulmate, her children, grandchildren and countless friends. She was predeceased by her brother, Father, and Mother.

Susie’s radiance that she projected to all those around her, paired with her sense of humor and laughter will be dearly missed.

Last week, we invited a local high school group to tour Weigel Funeral Home. We had our staff and funeral directors on hand to tell them about our day-to-day work. They asked lots of questions….. from embalming, the casket pillows and everything in between. They were able to see all the care we put into each family and what each step looks like in a funeral service. We even sent them back to school with a few snacks and some fancy pens!

If anyone would like to do this with a group, please call the funeral home and we can find a time for you to stop in a take a tour!

Noel Kallevig

Noel Kallevig, passed away Monday, November 10, 2025, at a Bismarck Hospital after a brief fight with cancer, with his daughter by his side.

Visitation will be held from 1:00-2:00 PM on Monday, November 17, 2025, at Weigel Funeral Home, 309 4th Ave. NW, Mandan, with a prayer service beginning at 2:00 PM. Burial will follow in Mandan Union Cemetery.

Noel was born December 15, 1953, in Sidney, Montana, to Clifford and Vivian (Strobeck) Kallevig. He was affectionately known to his siblings as "Bimbo." He was raised and educated in Sidney and graduated from Sidney High School.

After graduation, Noel worked a variety of jobs across Montana, Washington, Wyoming, and North Dakota. He did a bit of everything: oilfield work, painting houses (his favorite trade), driving tow trucks, and caring for residents in group homes.

In June of 1981, he married Denise Johnson, and together they welcomed their daughter, Shannon. Noel became a stepdad to Jeff, Ronette, and Michelle, too. The couple later divorced. In 1988, he married Jo Harvey and together they had two daughters, Alyssa and K**a, and gained a step-son in Jo's son, Zach.

Noel was a North Dakota lottery faithful - winning the 2x2 not once, but four times. He enjoyed playing online poker as well as trying to become a pool "shark" the last couple of years and was a member of Pool League. He was a fan of the WWE, history/news, football, AC/DC, and his daughter, Shannon's, dart team, who he cheered for on league night. He was also a great cook and loved to have Thanksgiving feasts and bbq/cookouts. In more recent years, as Noel got older, he let his daughter, Shannon, do the cooking and he loved to enjoy all her meals!

In April of 2019, Noel had a critical health scare and hung up his drinking days for a few years, but not his social life. He still made the rounds at local bars, greeting the regulars and probably flirting just enough to stay in practice. Noel had a good sense of humor that could lighten any room.

He is survived by his daughters, Shannon (Chandler LaRock) Dunn, K**a (Alex) Kelley, and Alyssa (Chris) Johnson; grandchildren, Malachai, Kyarra (Caleb), Keltic (Karrah), Dymetria, Zayden, Kaylee, and Kalley; great-grandkids, Ezra and Azyah; sister, Julie; and brother, Jerome.

Noel was preceded in death by his parents, Clifford and Vivian; brothers Kendal and Randall; step-son, Zach; and his beloved Doberman, Cannabis.

Noel's family invites everyone to remember him with a smile, a story, and maybe a lottery ticket (you never know!).

Daniel Furaus

Daniel “Dan” Furaus passed away peacefully at home on November 8, 2025, surrounded by family, after a courageous battle with Parkinson’s disease. Mass of Christian Burial will be at 10:30 AM on Friday, November 14 at Spirit of Life Catholic Church in Mandan with Fr. Keith Streifel presiding. Burial will follow a luncheon at 1:30 PM at Mandan Union Cemetery. Visitation will be on Thursday, November 13 from 4-6 PM with a Parish Rosary/Vigil service at 6 PM at Weigel Funeral Home in Mandan.

Dan was born on May 21, 1948, in Harvey, North Dakota, to Phillip and Florence (Torgerson) Furaus. His early years shaped the man he would become, kind, hardworking, and endlessly curious about the world around him.

While attending Harvey High School, Dan met Brenda Mack, the girl who would change his life. He once told her that he was going to marry her someday, long before he even convinced her to go on a first date—and, true to his word, he did. They were married on July 23, 1971, beginning a marriage that would span 54 years.

Dan earned his degree in education from the University of North Dakota and began his teaching career in Cavalier, ND before moving to Mandan in 1976. There, he became a lifelong “Mandan Brave” and devoted nearly three decades to serving the Mandan community while teaching and leading at Mandan High School.

Teaching wasn’t just Dan’s job, it was his calling. He had a gift for inspiring confidence in his students. He taught History, Sociology, and Psychology with passion and humor and proudly coached Mandan High’s first girls’ basketball team.

After earning his master’s in administration, Dan served as assistant principal and later principal of Mandan High School. Colleagues and students alike remember him as a steady, compassionate leader who believed every young person had the potential to succeed if given encouragement and guidance. Even years after retirement, former students would stop him to say “thank you” for the difference he made.

Dan’s greatest joy, however, was his family. He and Brenda raised three daughters—Beth, Jill, and Lori, who were the center of his world. He built snow forts in winter, played basketball in the driveway, helped with homework, and never missed a chance to cheer from the sidelines, his voice often carrying above the crowd.

His role as “Papa” and “Grandpa” to seven grandchildren - Ethan, Hailey, Judah, Amelia, Isla, Elyse, and Alice—brought him endless joy. Whether telling stories, offering advice, or simply playing a game, he continued to teach by example.

Dan loved to spark curiosity, whether in the classroom or in his everyday life. His legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched, as a teacher, a mentor, a husband, a father, and a friend. His life was a lesson in love, patience, and the power of believing in and advocating for others.

Dan is survived by his wife, Brenda; his daughters Beth Blumhardt, Jill Beilke (Dustin), and Lori Furaus (Gino Jose), all of Mandan; his brothers Gerald Furaus (St. Louis, MO) and Duane Furaus (K**b Noster, MO); sisters Carol (Dale) Lesmann (Minot, ND), and Vicki Furaus (Colorado Springs, CO); as well as his extended family and many friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Phillip and Florence; sister, Marva Ness; and sister-in-law, Julie Buxa.

In lieu of flowers, the family invites donations to the Mandan Foundation for Education or the Bismarck Parkinson’s Support Group, PO Box 4174, Bismarck, ND 58502.

Annette "Netty" Braun

Annette “Netty” Braun, 74, of Mandan, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, November 1, 2025.

Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at Spirit of Life Catholic Church in Mandan. Rite of Committal will follow at Mandan Union Cemetery. Visitation will be held from 4:00-6:00 p.m. on Friday, November 7, 2025, at Weigel Funeral Home, with a Rosary and Parish Vigil beginning at 6:00 p.m.

Annette Marie, known to many as Netty, was born September 11, 1951, the daughter of Stella Bender. She was lovingly raised by her grandparents, George and Emma Bender. She graduated from Mandan High School, with the Class of 1970. Annette went on to marry the love of her life, Dennis Braun, in September of 1973.

Netty had a wonderful sense of humor and often joked that Dennis married her because he thought her dad had money-and since she was two years older, she could buy him beer and he could collect her Social Security early. The two shared over 50 years of love and laughter together.

She worked for 25 years at Laducer & Associates assisting with data entry. At home, she was a realist and always allowed Brad and Ashley make their own decisions. This earned her the title of "the cool mom" among her kids' friends. Netty enjoyed camping trips, casino runs, and a good cigarette. Above all, she loved her family and was a proud and devoted grandma, always available for her grandkids.

She is survived by her husband, Dennis; children, Ashley (Ricky) DeWall and Brad (Ann) Braun; grandchildren, Jakob and Jordin Braun and Lukas and Avery DeWall; and her siblings, Kenny Bender, Clarence (Millie) Bender, Delores Scott, Glenda Eisenbarth, and Darla Bauer; along with many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents; mother, Stella Eisenbarth; several siblings; and her father- and mother-in-law, Ray and Helen Braun.

Emily Barnhart

Emily Barnhart, 41, a lifelong Mandan resident, passed away peacefully on November 1, 2025, from complications of a stroke. She was surrounded in her final days by her family and friends whom she loved so deeply.

A Funeral Service will be held at 10:30 AM on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, at First Lutheran Church, Mandan, with Pastor Phil Leer officiating. Burial will be at Mandan Union Cemetery.

Cremation has taken place and visitation will be held from 4-6:30 PM on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, at First Lutheran Church, Mandan, with a Prayer Service and Time of Sharing at 6:30 PM. Visitation will continue one hour prior to the service at the church on Wednesday.

Emily was born August 1, 1984, the youngest of three children to Mike and Becki (Mulske) Barnhart. Raised and educated in Mandan, she graduated from Mandan High School in 2002. Her parents admit to spoiling her and her brothers to picking on and tormenting her as siblings do. When Emily was in her early teens, the family took a trip to Hawaii, and Emily fell in love with the ocean, beach, and sunsets on the water. Throughout her life she enjoyed numerous trips to various beaches including Oregon, Florida, Mexico, and the Bahamas. She loved exploring new places and creating lasting memories with friends and family. Emily was the family planner and organizer for trips and special occasions. Each year she took a girl’s trip with her Mom, sisters-in-law, and nieces that was full of laughs and countless great memories. Emily loved being Auntie Em and her nephews and nieces adored her. She was friendly and outgoing and had the best laugh. Her smile, energy, and humor filled every room she was in. Emily had many friends throughout her life. Their names, stories, and shenanigans are countless. Emily was often the first person awake each morning and was almost annoyingly punctual, being early to everything. She loved the TV show Friends, hot coffee, and a cold White Claw. Also, she was a terrible cook and put ranch on everything.

In 2013, Emily met her favorite person in the world when her son, Greyson, was born. She was a dedicated single mom and loved him fiercely and made sure his life was full of fun and wonderful experiences. They loved going to the PBR rodeo and Twins games and every night before bed, they shared a ritual argument about who loved who more. They had recently adopted a new puppy, Murphy. Greyson’s hobbies led Emily to become the ultimate cool soccer mom. Other parents looked to her because she always knew the schedule, what field the boys played on, and what time they had to be there. She never missed a practice or a game and was early to everything, still managing to stop for coffee. The sideline antics, cheering (for people not against people…that’s an inside joke!), and all the fun at tournaments bonded the soccer family, and Emily was at the center of it all. She was the unofficial scorekeeper and self-proclaimed loudmouth soccer mom, always “Woo-ing” the loudest when the boys scored, especially her favorite player #20. This past summer Emily, Greyson, and Emily’s parents, Mike and Becki, enjoyed the USA Cup soccer tournament in Minnesota, where Greyson’s team played, followed by a family trip to Minneapolis where they took in a Twins game and had lots of fun.

Emily worked at Paradiso for many years, making many lifelong friendships. Emily loved animals and had numerous pets in her lifetime. She enjoyed working at Heart River Animal Hospital. In September 2023, Emily joined the National Medical Resources family, sharing her wealth of experience from 22 years in customer service. She consistently demonstrated her ability to connect with and support clients. Emily loved her job; it was a perfect fit and she was a valued member of the NMR accounting team.

A devoted mother, caring and thoughtful daughter, adored sister, fun aunt, and a friend to so many, Emily’s passing leaves a hole in the lives of all who knew and loved her.

Blessed to have shared in her life is her son who was the center of her world, Greyson Barnhart, Mandan; parents, Mike & Becki Barnhart, Mandan; brothers and sisters-in-law, Sean (Anne) Barnhart, Linton and Jared (Jenn) Barnhart, Mandan; nephews and nieces, Jude, Julia, Elsie, and Elijah Barnhart; numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins; and so many friends we don’t know where to start.

Emily was preceded in death by her grandparents, Jerry & Dorothy Barnhart and Ray & Dorothy Mulske; uncle Keith Mulske, aunt, Terry Kadrmas; close friends, Amanda Kist and Matt Kamerzell; Greyson’s father, Josh Fox; and beloved pup, Kelly.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred for a fund that will be used for Greyson’s future. Donations can also be made via GoFundMe, or to the Central Dakota Humane Society or Mandan Soccer Club.
