Robert "Bob" W. Bartels (1934-2022)

&nbsp; Mary Jane Kier, 79, of Madrid, passed away June 24, 2022, at the Imperial Manor in Imperial, Nebraska. Mary was born September 14, 1942, to Joseph and Francis (Wright) Yost. Because Mary's father was a mail carrier, the family moved frequently following his work. She attended school primarily in McCook, Nebraska. Mary lived and worked in various communities until she moved to Madrid, NE in 1976. She decided to lay down some more permanent roots with her adoptive father, Sheldon Kramer and her daughter Jennifer. It was there that she met the love of her life, Richard Kier of Benkelman. They were introduced to one another by her Aunt Eva and his Uncle Oscar. On March 14, 1981, they were united in marriage and set up their home in Madrid. However, after less than two years of a joyful marriage, the union was cut tragically short by a fatal motorcycle accident that claimed Richard's life. For just over 30 years, Mary worked as a dishwasher and then as a cook in the Perkins County Hospital. She took pride in her job as a cook, serving the patients and the staff that worked there. The care she put into her cooking was evident, especially in her fried chicken. She retired in 2008, at the age of 65. She lived in her Madrid home until mid 2018 when she was unable to fully recover after suffering a fall. For the last four years, Mary has been a resident of the Imperial Manor where she received loving care during her battle with Parkinson's disease and dementia. Baking was Mary's way of showing love and appreciation. Mary was especially known for her Christmas goodies, from poppy seed bread and peanut clusters to her "chewy" bars made with chocolate, caramel, and oatmeal. Because of her small size and ornery sense of humor, one of Mary's favorite sayings was "dynamite comes in small packages." Never shying away from giving someone a hard time, she was also more than willing to take it. She will always be remembered for her fun personality, the way she loved her family and friends, her cooking and baking, and her faith in Christ, which shaped the woman she became. Mary loved to be surrounded by her children and grandchildren. Planning for holidays and reunions was something she always looked forward to. Mary's retirement allowed her more time for a vibrant social life. She finally had more opportunity to go to the school games and community events. A great joy for Mary was travelling with her friends the Regiers to Kansas City, where she would see her daughter Jennifer, and the Rasmus family Jennifer was a nanny for. Mary could often be seen on walks around town with her dear friends Linda and Gloria. She also was a regular for coffee time at the diner where she was able to keep up with the latest going-ons in Madrid. Mary was also a huge Husker fan. If a game was on, she was watching it! A highlight for Mary was a gift of Husker tickets given by the Rasmus family so that she could watch her beloved team in their home stadium. Mary was preceded in death by her husband, Richard L. Kier; brother, Sonny Yost; son, Herbert Kier; along with her beloved friend and "honorary grandma" to her daughter, Anna Klima. Mary is survived by her daughters, Jennifer Kier of Madrid; and Judy Baney of North Platte; sons, Robert Kier and his wife Karen of Hershey, Kenneth Kier and his wife Shirley of Arkansas; 11 grandchildren and a multitude of great-grandchildren; two sisters, Kay McGuire of Lincoln and Glenda Ewing of Kearney; along with many other relatives and friends. A memorial has been established in Mary's memory for later designation. Condolences may be shared at bullocklongfuneralhome.com, where the service will be streamed live. Services will be Thursday, June 30, 2022, at 10 a.m. (MT) at the Grant Evangelical Free Church, with Pastor Russ Gaar officiating. Interment will be in the Glendale Cemetery at Vernon, Colorado. Visitation will be on Wednesday from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m. (MT) at the Bullock Long Funeral Home in Grant. Bullock-Long Funeral Home of Grant is in charged of arrangements.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Margie was one of the most loving and generous people you could ever meet. She never would say no to anyone in need. She was "The Face of Shopko", as many people referred to her, due to her customer service and smile. She worked at Medicine Chest, Pamida and Shopko throughout the years. She enjoyed her job very much and always did anything she could to help. Margie was fiercely independent, brave, and determined. At a young age she lost her first husband with her two children but forged ahead on her own and focused on her family. For years, she decided to live with her children and chose to stay while her grandchildren were born. Nothing was more important to her than family. Years later though, she finally found her soulmate she had been waiting for. One summer visiting her sister in Nebraska, all it took was a few weeks and she decided it was time for her love story after all those years of waiting. She packed up and moved to Nebraska to be with Wayne. She had finally gotten her happily ever after. Little did she know the family would miss her so much they'd follow here right to Nebraska as well. She loved being with her brothers, sisters as well as her nieces&nbsp;and nephews and they were very important to her. She had a passion for gardening, fishing, and cooking. She was the holiday planner, organizer, and chef. She always wanted family to be together to make new memories. She was a gnome "connoisseur" as well, collecting numerous gnomes over the years. Margie and Wayne also collected Vaseline glass together and went on many road trips to find it.&nbsp; Her positive attitude impacted many and made the world around her a better place. She was extremely proud of her children and grandchildren and told&nbsp;them every day. She was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend.

Marjorie is survived by husband Wayne Eichelberger of Broken Bow, daughter Tish (Kenny) Handley of Broken Bow, son Curtis Snelling of Broken Bow, stepson Greg Eichelberger of Broken Bow, five grandchildren, five great grandchildren, siblings: Butch (Rose) Klepper of Myrtle Creek, OR, Patsy (Don) Williams of Glide, OR, Bonnie Finney of Roseberg, OR, Arleva “Freddie” Eichelberger of Wilcox, Teresa (Greg) Myers of Pahrump, NV, and Steve (Connie) Woods of Winchester, OR.

&nbsp; MAXINE J. PERLINGER, of Paxton, passed away June 22, 2022, at Linden Court in North Platte. Maxine was born in Sarben, Nebraska, to Walter and Opal (Beaird) Hartman. She graduated from Paxton High School. On February 16, 1950, Maxine married Robert "Bob" Perlinger at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Paxton, and their union was blessed with four children: Bob Jr, Kathy, Mike, and Barry. Maxine had served as the school secretary for many years, and she saw her job as a vocation. Maxine was the smiling face, caring ear, and willing heart for an entire era of the school. She was both devoted and impactful. After Maxine retired, it took several new employees to pick up where she had left off. Maxine was a woman of principle, and she was purposeful about all that she did. To take great care and pride in a job done well was a form of integrity for Maxine. Despite the many years she spent working at the school and grocery store, Maxine always had a delicious homecooked meal on the table when the day was done. Maxine loved to play cards, especially Bridge and Pitch and belonged to the Sarben Pitch Club for many years. Maxine had a bit of a sarcastic stripe, or as her grandchildren might describe it, "She was spicy." She was also rather willful when she wanted to be; suffice it to say, Maxine's presence at the card table did not go unnoticed. Maxine took great care to foster confidence and wisdom in her children, along with the faith that guided her prayers. When her grandchildren were born, Maxine discovered a new dimension of love in her life. From Sunday evening suppers to the occasional dinosaur fight with grandchildren, Maxine really immersed herself in the lives of those she treasured. Maxine was a devoted member of St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Paxton, where she lent her voice to the church choir for many years. She was both faithful and prayerful until the end. May she now enjoy the Heavenly Supper prepared for her by the one who called her home. Maxine was preceded in death by her husband, son-in-law, Steve Haman; great-granddaughter, Elliot; siblings, Chuck Hartman and Shirley (Allen) Tompkins. Maxine is survived by her son, Bob (Marilee) Perlinger of Paxton and their daughter, Lindsey and Justin Bash and their children Connor and Maddox Bash; daughter, Kathy Haman of North Platte and her children, Tyler and Stacy Haman and their children Laney, Charly, and Trey, Michael and Kaylee Haman and their children, Cale, Lennon, and Kirsten Haman and her son, Landon, and Danielle Haman (fiance, Jon); son, Mike (Pam) Perlinger of Paxton and their children, Mitch and Tara Perlinger and their son, Griffin, Mandy (Colton) Shifflet, and their children Gracie, Ryker, Slade, and Ruby, and Lexie McCrillis, and her children, Marleigh, Josie, Kensie and Malarie Perlinger; son, Barry (Jo) Perlinger of Paxton, and their children, Alex (Jon) McConnell and their children, Ainsley, Heiser; Mattingly (Ashley) Perlinger and their children, Zelie and Oliver; sister-in-law, DeEtta Hartman of Lincoln; along with many other relatives and friends. In lieu of flowers, a memorial has been established in Maxine's memory for later designation. Condolences may be shared at prairiehillsfuneralhome.com, where the Mass will be streamed live. Funeral Mass will be held on Monday, June 27, 2022, at 10 a.m. at St. Patrick's Catholic in Paxton, with Fr. Bryan Ernest as Celebrant. Interment will be in the Paxton Cemetery.

On February 16, 1950, Maxine married Robert "Bob" Perlinger at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Paxton, and their union was blessed with four children: Bob Jr, Kathy, Mike, and Barry. Maxine had served as the school secretary for many years, and she saw her job as a vocation. Maxine was the smiling face, caring ear, and willing heart for an entire era of the school. She was both devoted and impactful. After Maxine retired, it took several new employees to pick up where she had left off. Maxine was a woman of principle, and she was purposeful about all that she did. To take great care and pride in a job done well was a form of integrity for Maxine. Despite the many years she spent working at the school and grocery store, Maxine always had a delicious homecooked meal on the table when the day was done.

Dolores Patrice Lee, 86 of Elsie, devoted and adoring wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed into eternal life on June 26, 2022. Dorie was born on January 7, 1936 at Ogallala, NE, the youngest of five children born to James and Kathryn (Duffy) Kildare. She attended school in Ogallala, NE, graduating in 1954. Throughout her high school years, she enjoyed working at Northwestern Bell Telephone Company. On November 26, 1955, Dorie married the love of her life, Gerald James "Jim" Lee, and together on a farm south of Elsie, they shared the mission of raising their six children, loving the grandchildren and great-grandchildren while bringing them all closer to the heart of Jesus. Dorie will be remembered by many whose lives she touched with her kindness, her caring nature, and her sense of humor. She was most happy and content while spending time with her family. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren loved being on the farm, where she fed them wonderful food (homemade chocolate pudding!) and played a mean game of cards. When she wasn't with her family, Dorie enjoyed traveling with her husband, having lunch and visits with her girlfriends, gathering with her high school classmates, and sharing her time, talents, and treasures enriching others' faith lives. Especially dear to Dorie was her involvement with Magnificat and being a devout member of Resurrection of our Lord Catholic Church. She was famous for her generosity and expressed her love by sending greeting cards for every occasion! Dorie was preceded in death by her parents; her four siblings; her grandsons, Thomas and Francis; a granddaughter, Sadie; and numerous other family members and friends. Left to cherish her memory are her husband, Jim; sons, Patrick (Deb), Joseph (Kelly), Richard (Karen), and daughters, Pamela (Glenn), Teresa (Duane), and Roxanne (Keith); eighteen grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, and many friends and family. In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial to Catholic Social Services of Southern Nebraska or St. Jude's Children's Hospital in Dorie's memory.
