Ida Maxine Lullmann, the daughter of Orville and Leora (Berkler) Armstrong, was born on March 2, 1932, on the family farm near Albert City. As an infant, she was baptized at the Methodist church in Truesdale. She was later confirmed at the same church. Maxine attended grade school in Truesdale and was a graduate of Truesdale High School in May 1949. In her youth, Maxine took care of her horses and barrel raced. Growing up, she helped her mom cook, clean, and sew for her brothers. She, later on, did the same for her children and grandchildren. On April 15, 1951, Maxine was united in marriage to Elmer Lullmann at the Zion Lutheran Church in rural Storm Lake. The couple was blessed with five children: Peggy, Terry, Randy, Nancy, and Joy. She loved taking care of her children and never missed an opportunity to open her home to everyone that came. She was sure to have food available to all as well as never forgetting a birthday to make a cake for. In her free time, Maxine enjoyed helping on the farm, cooking, and baking her famous scotcheroos. Her and Elmer traveled, spent countless hours at the family cabins in Okoboji and Northern Minnesota, and attended Polka Fests! She loved being on the farm, enjoying her cats (especially Ruffles and Checkers), nature, watching fieldwork, and most of all, she loved her family. She will be forever remembered as a loving mother, grandmother, and sister. Those left to cherish her memory include her children: Peggy (Tom) Flanigan of Lakeside, Iowa; Terry Meusburger of Truesdale, Iowa; Randy (Karlene) Lullmann of Storm Lake, Iowa; Nancy (Tracy) Mathews of Schaller, Iowa; Joy (Dave) Archer of Lakeside, Iowa; grandchildren: Hollie (Matt) Imming, Mindy (Randy) Pedersen, Christy (Luke) Ehlers, Staci (Lew) Lewis, Cory (Heather) Flanigan, Heather Christiansen, Meg (Mark) Nielsen, Daniell (Jake) Harder, Josh (Erin) Lullmann, Lindsey (Andy) Aronson, Brittany (fiancé, Cesar Menchaca) Lullmann, Jody (Rob) Maley, Eric (Bailey) Mathews, Casey (Jenn) Mathews, Ashley (Ricardo) Quiroz, Adam (Destiny) Archer; 39 great-grandchildren; 1 great-great-grandchild; extended family and friends. Maxine was preceded in death by her husband, Elmer Lullmann; three brothers; parents, Orville and Leora Armstrong; and her son-in-law, Jeff Meusburger.
