Deloris "Dee" Holmberg, 78, of Piedmont, SD, went to rest with the Lord on May 1, 2017 at the Rapid City Hospice Auxiliary House.

She was born Jan. 9, 1939, in Loyalton, SD, to Anton and Annie Selzler. She graduated from Faulkton High School and then went on to beauty school. After completing her schooling, she worked at a beauty salon in Miller, SD.

She married Charles Holmberg on Dec. 14, 1958, in Faulkton, SD, where they resided until they moved to Rapid City in 1959. Dee continued her love of hair styling and taught beauty school in1965 in Rapid City. In the early 1970s she struck out on her own, establishing Dee's Beauty Lounge on Jackson Boulevard, where she spent many years. She was dedicated to her loyal clients. A true entrepreneur, Dee enjoyed many other passions throughout the years.

She spent her free time enjoying gardening, especially her many rose bushes and tulips. Sewing and arts and crafts were also always a part of her life. Later in life, she returned to her roots of farming. She had a true love of animals, and she acquired and was committed to raising cows and chickens to provide home-grown beef and eggs.

Then, Dee was motivated to expand, so she opened her store, "Dee's Market." She took great pleasure in making homemade canned goods, including Dee's Jams and Jellies, locally corn-raised beef, and she carried a multitude of South Dakota-made products in her store.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Anton and Annie Selzler, husband Charles Holmberg, daughter Jolin McCoy and son Pat Holmberg. Dee is survived by her son Mike (Angie) Holmberg, daughter-in-law Brenda Holmberg, brother Dewaine (Janis) Selzler, sister Betty (Allen) McLain and sister Diane Gildner. She is also survived by her grandchildren Jason (Cressa) Duwenhoegger; Carrie (Scott) Jamison; Heather (Nick) Hemen; and Ben Holmberg; and her great-grandchildren Toree (Seth) Arnette; Haylee Sandine; Paige and Dalton Duwenhoegger; Garrett and Tanner Jamison; and Vance and Oliver Hemen.
