Visitation will be from 3 to 9 p.m. Monday at Aisenbrey Opsahl-Kostel Funeral Home, Menno, with the family present at 7 p.m, and one hour prior to services at the church. She was born June 28, 1918, southeast of Menno in rural Hutchinson County, to John J. and Louisa (Hehn) Edelman. She attended Rural Morning Star School and graduated from Irene High School. After graduation she furthered her education by attending Freeman Junior College in Freeman and earning her teaching certificate. In 1938 she began a teaching career that would span 40 years by taking her first position as teacher at a one-room schoolhouse in rural Turner County. On March 9, 1941, she married Oscar Guthmiller in Menno. For 18 years they lived, farmed and raised three children near their family homesteads in Yankton County. They farmed south of Menno until they retired from farming in 1970. They moved to Yankton, where they lived and worked until their retirements and where she attended her husband during a lengthy illness. Oscar died in Jan. 2000, but Amanda remained in Yankton until moving to the Menno Olivet Care Center, Menno, in September 2009. During their farming years she attended night and summer school sessions to earn her Bachelor of Arts degree in education from Yankton College, and later attended the University of South Dakota, Vermillion, where she earned certification as a special education teacher. She used those skills as a teacher for the Yankton School District. Over the years she taught at various posts in Hutchinson, Turner and Yankton counties, and for five years at the Aten rural school, Aten, Neb. After leaving full-time teaching in 1988, she tutored children at her Yankton home and also substitute taught for the Yankton schools and Sacred Heart School, Yankton. She remained active by working in the mail room at the Daily Press & Dakotan newspaper. She was a member of the South Dakota Education Association, the South Dakota Retired Teachers Association, the Yankton Area Retired Teachers Association and the Yankton VFW Auxiliary. In February 1966 she received a National Red Cross certificate for personal action for giving CPR to a child injured in an accident. A woman of faith, Amanda was, on Feb. 12, 1950, baptized into the Christian Reformed faith by the Rev. E. Kaempchen. She taught Sunday school classes at Spring Valley Church, rural Viborg. She was attentive to her children's Christian education and was a long-time member of Peace Christian Reformed Church in Menno. She is survived by her children: Darrell and his wife Sharon; Karen Dolan and husband Ross, both of Menno; and Carla Dailey and husband Milo, of Belle Fourche; brother Melvin and wife Eleanor, of Box Elder; sisters-in-law, Gertie Edelman and Lea Guthmiller, both of Yankton; six grandchildren; three step-grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; 12 step-great grandchildren; two great-great grandchildren, and numerous nephews and nieces. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, five sisters, including an infant sister, and three brothers. Copyright © Opsahl-Kostel Funeral Home Opsahl-Kostel
