Loretta Mae Helbling was born on March 8, 1932, the youngest of six children born to Nickolas and Susanna (Braun) Helbling. She lived on a farm in St. Anthony until moving to Mandan.
On September 20, 1951, Loretta married Adam Silbernagel Jr., at St. Joseph Catholic Church, Mandan. They lived in several locations while Adam was in the Army including Georgia and Indiana. Upon returning to North Dakota, they lived in Dickinson, Mandan, and Bismarck. Loretta was a homemaker and spent her years raising their five children, Susan, Don, Larry, Laura, and Scott. Adam passed away in 1987.
Loretta later married Alvin Brady of Bismarck. They enjoyed traveling and had fun vacations to the East Coast and Alaska. Al passed away in 1994.
Loretta believed strongly in her faith and watched mass on TV every day when she couldn't make it to church. Loretta was an amazing cook and baker (especially caramel rolls and cookies), always making plenty of everything to share with others. She always had a large garden and lots of beautiful flowers. She and Adam enjoyed dancing and playing cards with their many friends. Loretta was a big Dakota Wizards Basketball fan and watched many NBA games on TV. She enjoyed listening to country music and playing pinochle with "The Girls," her many dear friends. She loved spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and was extremely proud of every one!
Happy to have shared her life and love are her daughter, Susan (Delton) Heid, and their children, Jeremy (Sargianna) Wutzke and their children, Jasmine and Jordan, all of Bismarck, Jamie (Shawn) Sherman, and their children, Casey and Alyssa, Little Elm, TX, and Kayla Wutzke, Bismarck; her son, Don (Pam) Silbernagel, and their children, Lisa (Stan) Yakel, and their daughter, Karly, and Nick (special friend, Jody Miller), all of Glendive, MT; her son, Larry (Rita) Silbernagel, Bismarck, and his son, Chris (Courtney), and their children, Adam and Andrew, Mobridge, SD, Reece, Layla, and Noah, Mandan; and her daughter, Laura (Heidi Senger) Silbernagel, and their daughters, Maya and Ava, Brooklyn Park, MN. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Marian Helbling; her uncle, Frank Braun; many nieces, nephews, cousins, and close friends. She will be dearly missed by all.
