George R. Mustaparta

Lead, SD

1934, 792, Roubaix, F-6, Ed. Adviser

George R. Mustaparta, 94, of Rapid City, died Thursday, May 27, 2004, at a local nursing home.

George R. Mustaparta was born in Lead, S.D., in 1910, to John and Greta (Kentta) Mustaparta. After graduating from Lead High School, he attended the South Dakota School of Mines and Iowa State University, obtaining a Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering. George was united in marriage to Jeannette Bordewyk Janis in 1934. Jeannette passed away on March 8 of this year.

After serving in the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Depression, he joined Hercules Powder Company and lived in many places around the country while in their employ, eventually returning to Rapid City in 1992.

During all of his working life and most of his retirement, George was an active member of Kiwanis. His life could be best described as one of dedication to hard work, generosity and good humor.

George is survived by three daughters, LaVonne Hansen, Rapid City, Donna Webb and her husband, Don, Torrance, Calif., and Kay Hashim and her husband, Murad, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; 11 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild.

Memorial services 2 p.m. Monday, May 31, at Westhills Village multipurpose room, with Rev. Bob Ruedebusch officiating.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to the Canyon Lake United Methodist Church for the Mission.

Arrangements are under the direction of the Osheim-Catron Funeral Home in Rapid City.
