RAPID CITY, S.D. – On Friday, U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson toured the Rapid City Monument Health COVID-19 vaccine center. South Dakota continues to rank in the top ten of states for vaccine distribution.
Johnson says “Vaccines work, and what South Dakota is doing is working, as well
.”
“Our state has been a national leader in vaccine deployment, and today’s tour helped me understand why. The coordinated efforts of state government and healthcare providers like Monument are saving lives and allowing us to keep our schools open and our economy growing.”
She was born Sept. 24, 1965, to Patricia Jane Conklin.
A fiercely strong and independent single mom, she lived the majority of her life in Black Hawk, and the Black Hills were in her blood.
She worked hard no matter what job she held and gave it her all to provide for her family.
She loved the outdoors, and whether time was spent in her yard, on a Harley, shooting guns or behind her camera, she made sure she spent it enjoying the nature of the Hills. Believe it or not, she was an avid birdwatcher and has hundreds of noteworthy pictures of them, raptors being her favorite to photograph.
