ERMILLION V Pre-owned Specials 2014 Ford Mustang 5,500 miles...............................................$25,995 Meet Lori Kober By David Lias david.lias@plaintalk.net Being presented a prestigious award personally from the governor of South Dakota is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. For Lori Kober of Vermillion, however, there was an added dimension to the occasion when she received the 2013 Outstanding Citizen with a Disability Award Sept. 9 in Pierre. Gov. Dennis Daugaard and Lori speak the same language – specifically, sign language. Lori, who is deaf, communicates by sign language and lip reading. Both of Gov. Daugaard’s parents were born deaf, making sign language the principal means of communication for his family. “It was very special – the governor, while I was receiving my award, was signing to me, ‘Congratulations, I’m very proud of you,’ in sign language in front of everybody,” she said. “I didn’t need an interpreter for that moment. That was nice.” Lori, owner of Kober Funeral Home in Vermillion, with a second location in Elk Point, broke through barriers related to gender as well as disability en route to becoming the only licensed deaf female mortician, funeral director and funeral home owner in America. She has served on many committees and associations related to her profession or disability and frequently presents at conferences and seminars throughout the country. Lori’s statewide recognition brings to focus her accomplishments in a male-dominated profession without the ability to hear. Her successful career can be credited to sheer determination, along with the help of key people in her life – her parents, her husband, Tom, and Al and Marilyn Siecke, who gave her the opportunity of a lifetime in 2013 Ford Edge Limited 28,600 miles .............................................$28,995 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan 28,300 miles..............................................$21,495 2013 Ford Escape SE AWD 24,700 miles...............................................$23,995 2012 Ford Fusion SEL 16,000 miles .............................................$19,995 2012 Lincoln MKZ 22,700 miles...............................................$24,995 2012 Ford F-150 platinum 26,500 miles..............................................$39,995 2012 Chevrolet 1500 Silverado 17,000 miles..............................................$26,995 2011 Ford F-150 platinum 41,600 miles..............................................$34,995 2011 Ford F-250 Crew Cab Diesel Lariat long box, 14,000 miles....................................$46,995 2011 Chevrolet Equinox AWD 32,600 miles..............................................$21,995 Vermillion. Lori was born deaf, and her parents discovered when she was 18 months old that she couldn’t hear. She grew up on a farm near Elkhart Lake, WI, and attended St. John’s School for the Deaf in Milwaukee, WI. She later transferred to and graduated from the Milwaukee School for the Deaf. After graduating from high school, Lori attended Gallaudet University in Washington, DC. “I wanted to complete my B.A. there, and then I went to the University of the District of Columbia for mortuary school,” Lori said. “That had been my plan the whole time. I had worked in a funeral home in Maryland for a couple of years before I moved to South Dakota in 1995.” A year later, Al Siecke hired her. Al and his wife, Marilyn, owned and operated Iverson-Siecke Funeral Home in Vermillion, with a second location in Elk Point. KOBER “In 1996, I started to work for Al and Marilyn, and in 2008, I bought the funeral home,” Lori said. She admits being speechless when she was informed recently that she was to be honored. The 2013 Governor’s Awards ceremony was cosponsored by South Dakota’s Boards of Vocational Rehabilitation and Service to the Blind and Visually Impaired, the Statewide Independent Living Council and the Department of Human Services.
