Notes for Dale Bertram Flickinger II
Obituary - Minot Daily News - 7 May 2010
Beloved father and respected physician Dr. Dale Bertram Flickinger Jr. passed away Wednesday, May 5, 2010, at his home in Minot.
Dale was born January 4, 1928, in New York City, New York, to Dale and Vera (Campbell) Flickinger. He spent his childhood in Toledo, Ohio. He attended Purdue University for one year before entering the service in 1946. He earned the rank of Sergeant as a Rawinsonde operator tech. He received a bachelor of science degree in biology and chemistry at the University of Toledo in Ohio, and was a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. He then went on to earn a medical degree at Ohio State University on the G.I. Bill. He met and fell in love with Zoanne Bishop there, and they married in 1952.
He served his internship at Harvard Surgical Service, and did his residency at Boston City Hospital, including a research fellowship in surgery at Harvard Medical School, where he was Chief Resident in 1959 - 60. He was certified by the American Board of Surgery in general surgery and was a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
He then moved to Minot, where he began his life of service to others. He began his practice with the Great Plains Clinic in 1960. That year he joined the Trinity Hospital staff as a general surgeon, and he served there for 36 years. He was Chairman of the Department of Surgery at Trinity and St. Joseph's Hospital for many years. He was Chief of Medical Staff at Trinity in 1984. He also served on the Board of Directors at St. Joseph's Hospital. He joined the Medical Arts Clinic in 1962, where he became a partner and was Chairman of the Board more than once.
He was a career-long advocate for cancer research, and had a dream that a cure for cancer would be found during his lifetime. He was President of the American Cancer Society's North Dakota chapter from 1973 75. He was a member of the Christian Medical Society, and was a committed pro-life doctor.
He served his professional community in many capacities. He was a Clinical Professor of Surgery for UND School of Medicine, and a teacher for the American Academy of Family Physicians in 1976. He was the President of the ND chapter of the American College of Surgeons in 1971, and a regular speaker at physician conferences for them. He was on the Blue Shield Board of Directors in 1985. He was a member of the American Medical Association, the N.Y. Academy of Sciences, the Northwest District Medical Society, and the N.D. Medical Society. He was also a member of the N.D. Ethics Commission.
He served Minot through both his medical practice and his community service. He was a Y's Man, which supported Y Camp, did Christmas tree sales and the rodeo. A devout Christian, he taught Sunday school at Our Redeemer's, was active in a Bible study, and was a lay minister of Stephen Ministry. He enjoyed playing bridge, golf, reading, and classical music. His colleagues remember him as an excellent surgeon, a square shooter, and a kind, loyal, trustworthy, gentleman who was deeply in love with his wife.
He will be greatly missed by his surviving family: sons, Dale Flickinger III, of Memphis, Tennessee, Charles (Kathy) Flickinger, of Jackson, Wyoming, and William (Mary) Flickinger, of Moorhead, Minnesota; daughters, Dr. Susan (Langer) Gokey, of Minot, Bonnie (Marijan) Kovacevich, of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and Holly (Doug) Brown, of Frederick, Maryland. He was a grandfather to 18 grandchildren.
Dale was preceded in death by his parents, wife Zoanne, and his brother Vernon.

Notes for Zoanne Rose (Spouse 1)
Obituary - Minot Daily News - 21 Nov 2008
Beloved wife and devoted mother, Zoanne Rose Bishop Flickinger, went to be with her Savior on Thursday, Nov. 20, 2008, at her home surrounded by her loving family.
Zoanne was born March 26, 1931, in Toledo, Ohio, to Firmin and Ruth (Coles) Bishop. She graduated from high school in Akron, Ohio. From there, she went to Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, where she was a member of Delta Gamma sorority and received a bachelor of science degree in nursing. She also met her future husband, Dr. Dale Bertram Flickinger II, there. They were married on Dec. 20, 1952, in Akron. They lived and worked in Boston before coming to Minot in 1960.
Zoanne was an active and vital member of the community. She took great care for others in real ways. She and a friend worked to provide wigs for cancer patients dealing with hair loss from chemotherapy. She cared for kids in need by being a guardian ad litem for the courts, and served the community through the YWCA. She was a believer in action. If she saw a need, she figured she was the one to take care of it, and did what it took to get the job done. She was a giving person.
Mrs. Flickinger was also a good leader. She was a member of the Minot Public Schools School Board for nine years. She liked politics, and was an active lifelong Republican. She loved the Eagle Forum, and fought hard for what she believed in. She served as president of the Women's Association of the Minot Country Club. She was a Girl Scout leader, den mother, and Little League baseball coach.
Zoanne loved art and beauty. She was always creating something, from floral arrangements to porcelain dolls. She adored china painting with friends, and excelled at painting sinks, and vases for a ministry to new moms at church. She loved God, and served Him at Our Redeemer's Lutheran Brethren Church. Zoanne enjoyed fly-fishing, antiquing, playing bridge and golf. She lived life to the fullest.
She will be greatly missed by her surviving family: loving husband Dr. Dale Flickinger II of Minot; sons Dale Flickinger III of Memphis, Tenn., Charles (Kathy) Flickinger of Jackson, Wyo., and William (Mary) Flickinger of Moorhead, Minn.; daughters Dr. Susan (Langer) Gokey of Minot, Bonnie (Marijan) Kovacevich of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and Holly (Doug) Brown of Frederick.
