Ramona Mae Fuller was born on her grandparents Ritz farm northeast of Wilsonville, NE on April 8, 1938, the oldest of 6 children born to Kenneth and Myrtle (Ritz) Fuller.&nbsp; She passed away peacefully at the Elwood Care Center, April 10, 2022 with family at her side.&nbsp; She had celebrated her 84th birthday and it was an excellent day for her.

Ramona started school at a country school north of Wilsonville and had to walk a mile to school.&nbsp; She was terrified of ten Bensel’s bull and would wait at the bottom of the hill until the older kids would come to get her and finish walking her to school. They then moved to another farm and she attended Wilsonville Public School.&nbsp; Before 1949 the family moved to a farm north of Lebanon, NE and she then attended the school at Lebanon but married before she graduated.&nbsp; She received her GED in 1981.

Ramona married Dale Moyer, May 19, 1953, in Oberlin, KS and two days later Dale left for boot camp.&nbsp; Dale served in the US Army for 16 years and during this time they lived in Arkansas, Texas, Colorado, California, Hawaii and Germany.&nbsp; To this union 4 children were born: Gene Dewayne, Cindy LeiLani, Lori Ann and Kenneth Dean.&nbsp; Ramona and Dale separated in 1970 at which time Ramona and the children moved to Overton, NE, where she worked for Plectron Corp. until it’s closing in April 1984.&nbsp; She worked for Omaha All Risk Crop Ins. until it closed.&nbsp;&nbsp; In 1991, while working at the Elwood Care Center, she met Gilbert Koch and they married July 3, 1993 at Overton, NE and they made their home in Eustis.&nbsp; She retired from the Care Center in 1997.

Ramona loved to read and enjoyed working as the Eustis Librarian until breaking her ankle in January.&nbsp; She enjoyed doing cross stitch, putting puzzles together, working crossword puzzles and playing computer solitaire.&nbsp; She loved flowers but was not blessed with the green thumb her mother had.&nbsp; Every year she would buy new plants and bulbs and say that if they didn’t grow she was done.&nbsp; They didn’t grow but she was never done and the next year more plants and bulbs would be planted.&nbsp; She also enjoyed mowing her yard. She fed the birds and enjoyed watching their antics at the feeder, especially her bright red male cardinals. She collected nutcrackers and angels.&nbsp; Taking a trip with her was always interesting, especially if she was in charge of the map and giving directions.&nbsp; She loved spending time with family and going to her grand and great grand children’s activities.

Ramona accepted Christ as her Savior and was a member of the Overton United Methodist Church, transferring to the Eustis United Methodist Church after her marriage to Gilbert.

Barb was born July 3rd, 1942 in Gothenburg, Nebraska to Gus and Dorotha (Wells) Anderson. She was confirmed at the First Presbyterian Church in Cozad. She graduated from Cozad High School in 1960. She attended Kearney State College and graduated with a teaching degree in elementary education.

She was a Dawson County Hospice volunteer and a member of the Southside Garden Club. She was inducted into the Order of the Eastern Star at Nebraska Grand Chapter. She also spent many hours volunteering with Dawson County 4-H. Barb was an educator.

Barb loved classical music and her radio was always tuned to public radio. Before her eyesight began to fail, she was a voracious reader and loved to do the crossword puzzle in the Omaha World Herald. A favorite family trip was to the Colorado Rockies in the fall when the Aspen leaves were at their most breathtaking.

She was an integral part of the farming operation with Andy, spending many hours discing and running the grain cart. She hauled anhydrous tanks, ran for parts and provided countless field meals all while making sure the girls were fed and their homework done. Barb taught GED classes at Central Community College for many years. She returned to teaching in 1993, first substituting at Lexington High School then joining the staff as the In School Suspension teacher, where she was known as the warden.

Barbara Dorotha "Barb" Poehler (1942-2022)

June Mary Redmond, age 93, formerly of North Platte, NE, went to be with the Lord on April 9, 2022, surrounded by family at Brookstone Village in Omaha, NE. June was born in Altoona, PA, on February 28, 1929, to Benjamin James 'BJ' and Gertrude Evelyn Galloway. She moved to Tulsa, OK, where she attended school and graduated from high school. In 1950, June moved to Fort Collins, CO, where she met the love of her life, Robert 'Bob' Redmond. They were married on May 24, 1952. Bob worked for the JC Penney Company and June worked for Mountain Bell in Fort Collins. Bob was promoted to Department Manager in Littleton, CO; shortly thereafter their son Bob was born in 1955. In 1957, he was promoted back to his hometown of North Platte as Assistant Store Manager and June fell in love with the town; shortly thereafter their daughter Cathy was born in 1958. In 1959, Bob was promoted to Store Manager and the family moved to Wray, CO; shortly thereafter their daughter Cindy was born in 1961. Right after Cindy was born, the family moved to Rock Springs, WY, where Bob was a Store Manager. In late 1967, Bob heard the manager he worked for a few years earlier in North Platte was retiring so he fought hard to move back to North Platte as he and June wanted to raise their family there as they both had a passion for the community. June and Bob moved back to North Platte in 1968 and Bob refused further promotions as they knew North Platte was home. In 2008, Bob passed away. June remained in North Platte until 2017 when she moved to Omaha to be close to her son for medical support.

June had a successful career with Mountain Bell Phone Company until her retirement. Upon retirement, she worked for the North Platte Area Chamber of Commerce and Development Corporation, in the Economic Development Department. It was probably the most rewarding job of her life as she so much enjoyed making North Platte a better place for families and businesses. June was a compassionate and loving servant. She loved her Lord and showed it by always putting other's needs before her own. She generously gave of her time and talent and kept busy volunteering for the Welcome Wagon team by delivering baskets and greeting new families moving into the community. She was in the Welcome Wagon choir and loved to sing. June had a joy and zest for life, and always desired to include others making all feel welcome whether you were family or a stranger. She was an avid card player (especially bridge), played golf and loved to spend time with her husband and children taking yearly family vacations. June was zealous about reading, had an extensive book collection, and was always willing to lend a book to her friends. June was a wonderful wife and a loving mother. She was involved in her children's life by participating in the Parent Teachers Association (PTA), and a leader of the Camp Fire Girls. She loved her hometown "North Platte" and was very active in her church, the Episcopal Church of Our Savior. She spent several years as part of the church board supporting the team in all aspects, and was a member of the North Platte P.E.O., Eagles Club, Elks Lodge, Country Club and American Legion. You would find June and Bob on the American Legion dance floor, as they both loved to dance. We know they are dancing on the streets of gold in heaven right now!

June is survived by her three children, which she often referred to as her "greatest blessings in life" - her son, Robert (Barbara) Redmond of Omaha, NE, and daughters, Cathy (Granville) Wyatt of Windsor, CO, and Cindy Redmond of Aurora, CO. Survivors also include her special caregiver, Casidy Reif of Omaha, NE; her brother, Stan Galloway of Palm Coast, FL; nieces, Kaye (Alex) McKleroy of El Sobrante, CA, and Marlene (Don) Bailey of Palm Coast, FL; as well as many grand-nieces and nephews. Along with her husband, Bob, June was preceded in death by her mother and stepfather, Trudy and Dale Lund; in-laws, Leonard B. and Abigail H. Redmond; sister-n-law, Betty and husband, Frank Kersenbrock; and her nephew, Robert Kersenbrock.

Funeral service will be 11 a.m. on Thursday, April 21, 2022, at Episcopal Church of Our Savior with Pastor Steve Meysing officiating. Burial will follow in the North Platte Cemetery. Visitation will be 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and with family greeting from 4-6 p.m. at Odean Colonial Chapel, which is in charge of arrangements. The casket will be closed at the church. Online condolences may be shared at odeanchapel.com. In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to Episcopal Church of Our Savior for the modernization of their audio/visual system.

George Narjes (1928-2022)

&nbsp; Max Hanson, 95, of Elsie passed away Friday, April 8, 2022 at the Chase County Hospital in Imperial. Max Arthur Hanson was born on October 17, 1926, on the family homestead near Elsie, Nebraska, to Art and Mildred Theobald Hanson. He was the oldest of three children, preceding brother Don and sister Mary. Whether helping his grandparents who farmed or his parents, who both farmed and operated a general store in town, he was a busy child. Max played every sport offered by the high school and excelled in the classroom, plus had time left over for baseball in the summer. After Max graduated from high school in 1944, he was drafted in the spring of the following year after his first semester in college and was sent to Camp Maxey in Texas for basic training. After his basic training, he sailed to Japan with 5,000 other troops and landed 12 days later to serve in occupied Japan. He was assigned to Tokyo as a clerk in G1 (Intelligence), which was General MacArthur's headquarters. Nearly a year to the day later, he was shipped home to Seattle and discharged from Camp Beale, California. He was proud to serve in the American Legion Post 206 locally for over 70 years and was part of the holiday and funeral salutes to our local heroes. He returned to school at the University of Nebraska, studying Physical Education on the GI Bill. He graduated in 1950 after student teaching and brought back to Elsie, both the love of his life, his wife Lorraine Viola Hardt, and a passion for all things Cornhusker. Max and Lorraine would have two children, Steve and Shelley. Soon after returning, he took over full-time management of the family farm and spent the next forty years surviving and expanding. These were tough years in US agriculture, but he was joined, encouraged, and supported by his son Steve and grandson Nick, the two men he was most proud of in life. Max Hanson was a lifelong member of the Elsie United Methodist Church and served on the Wheatland School Board and the Mid Plains Community College Board in North Platte, Nebraska. Upon retiring, Max and Lorraine spent many wonderful years traveling, wintering in California and Arizona, and watching grandchildren and great-grandchildren play sports. He got to see, in person, his beloved Yankees in a World Series in Yankee stadium, his Huskers win a national championship, and enjoyed many golf outings with a great group of fellows, often taking their money. Max was preceded in death by his parents; and a sister, Mary Peterson. He celebrated 73 years of marriage with his wife Lorraine Hardt Hanson and is survived by her, his brother Don and wife Martha Peterson Hanson and his brother-in-law Conrad Peterson, his son Steve and wife Susan Osler Hanson, his daughter Shelley and husband Michael Peetz, grandchildren Nick and wife Rachel Papenhausen Hanson, Laura and husband Bryan Barrett, Elizabeth Peetz, Joseph Peetz and wife Patrece Hairston Peetz, John Peetz and great-grandchildren Ryleigh, Max and Bradley Hanson, Mason and Sam Barrett and James and Elloise Peetz and many cousins and friends. Memorials are suggested to the Elsie United Methodist Church in Max's memory. Condolences may be shared at bullocklongfuneralhome.com. A memorial service will be on Thursday, April 14, 2022, at 11:00 am at the Elsie United Methodist Church, with Pastor Joey Flores officiating. Private inurnment with military honors will be held prior to the service in the Elsie Cemetery. Bullock-Long Funeral Home of Grant is in charge of arrangements.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Gladys J Hoffmeister (1930-2022)

&nbsp; Rick L. Daley, 71, of Grant, passed away on March 29, 2022, at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Rick was born December 27, 1950, at Fort Collins, Colorado, to Frankie C. and Norma J. (Cox) Daley. Rick graduated from high school at Fleming, Colorado, in 1968. Rick earned an associate's degree from Northeastern Junior College at Sterling after attending UNL for a brief stint, where he played football. Rick subsequently entered the US Army in January of 1970, where he served in Vietnam as a helicopter pilot. Following his discharge in 1973, Rick returned home a very different man. His wartime experience shaped his life thereafter, and he entered Fitzsimons Health for PTSD treatment. Rick eventually became a truck driver and was primarily associated with Monfort, Inc. On November 1, 2002, Rick married Diana Waller, and the couple eventually relocated to Grant, Nebraska, searching for a more tranquil way of life. Rick continued to operate his trucking business until his health would no longer allow. Rick found peace when he was outdoors, and he enjoyed hunting and fishing when he got the chance. Rick bore the invisible wounds of Vietnam, having lost many friends, along with his serenity. Though he was greatly afflicted, God's grace found its way into Rick's life as it tends to do. On his first homecoming, Rick was found, in a sense, to have been lost to the harshness of war. It is fitting that in this final homecoming, he is healed and enjoying a place where there is no sorrow and all tears are wiped away. Rick was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Becky. Survivors include his wife, Diana of Grant along with many nieces, nephews, and friends. A memorial has been established in Rick's memory for later designation. Condolences may be shared at bullocklongfuneralhome.com. Memorial service details are pending at this time. Inurnment will be at Fort McPherson National Cemetery at Maxwell. Bullock-Long Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Rick Daley (1950-2022)

&nbsp;Leroy E. Sheldon, Jr. (Lee), age 77 of Brule, passed away Tuesday,&nbsp; April 5, 2022 at the Ogallala Community Hospital.&nbsp;

Lee was born August 12, 1944 in Belfast, Maine and reared on a farm in nearby Morrill. He attended Morrill Grammar School, Crosby High School in Belfast, Bob Jones University (B.A.; M.A.) in Greenville, South Carolina, and Covenant Theological Seminary (MDiv.) in Creve Coeur, Missouri. He pastored Woodburn Congregational Church in Bunker Hill, Illinois and Christ Presbyterian Church in Tulsa, OK. He started and operated an ice business in Vancouver, Washington and started a cabinet installation business there as well. He moved his family to the Denver, Colorado area in 1984 where he continued to install high-end cabinetry. He and Kathy moved to Brule, Nebraska in 2004.

Lee will be remembered for his beautiful tenor voice and love of sacred choral music. He had an incredible mind and loved to read theology and write precisely worded letters to the editor. In his work with the ice and cabinetry businesses, Lee loved to have his children tag along and instilled in them his New England work ethic. He gave them a priceless childhood-homemade biscuits on Sunday mornings, sledding adventures to Mt. St. Helens, frequent jaunts to the beaches of Washington and Oregon, hunting trips, and hikes around abandoned gold mines in the Rocky Mountains that often ended at Beau Jo’s pizza for a mountain pie. Lee was a master woodworker whose craftsmanship was unrivaled in the Denver area. Among many of his personal projects for his children was a child-propelled go-kart, an attic bedroom for his daughters, and a playhouse that housed many of their happiest memories. He was often found whistling, teasing (and trying not to smile), and asking impossible-to-solve riddles. Lee loved doing crossword puzzles, studying the dictionary, and regularly baffled friends and family alike with his inimitable vocabulary.

Nurtured in a Christian home, during which time he attended the Bible-believing Morrill Baptist Church, Lee dates his consciously coming to Christ for salvation from sin by grace and saving faith alone at ten years of age under the preaching and Godly culture of the Biblical Gospel as defined by the Reformed Presbyterian faith. He considered himself graciously blessed by God and considered himself, as he would often say, “the beneficiary of every blessing available in Christ.”&nbsp;

He was preceded in death by his parents Leroy E. "Roy" and Martha A. R.&nbsp; "Becky" (Kinney) Sheldon of Morrill, Maine, and his beloved dogs Peppy and Darcey.

Lee is survived by his wife, Kathleen "Kathy," (Humphries) Sheldon of Brule, his two sisters Sonja Irene (Victor) Voss of Maple Lake, Minnesota and Candis Elizabeth (Pat) Scribner of Morrill, Maine, two brothers Steven Harris (Tisha) Sheldon of Wrightsville, PA and Timothy Merle (Kim) Sheldon of Brunswick, Maine, and foster sister Sara Lillian (Bob) Diekema of Deerfield Beach, FL. He leaves behind three daughters--Amy Ruth Henry (Ian) and their six children, Emily (David),&nbsp; Hahn, Austen, Benjamin, Anna-Sophia, Elenia, and Cooper, Susan Rebecca Sheldon and her four children, Vincente, Timothy, Alexandria, and Millie, Joanna Beth Williams (Kwame) and their children Kaya and Ari, two sons--Joshua Lee (Jennifer) and their son Elias, Jonathan Kinney Sheldon (Sarah) and their seven children Ryan, Brooke, Jeremy, Bethany, Gideon, Joseph, and Douglas, and three stepchildren--Nicholas Antonopulos (Amy) and their children Abigail, Katie, and Natalie, Matthew Gus Antonopulos (Solara) and their boys Stephen and Niko, and Kristi Rhea Sash (Jason). Lee also has one great-granddaughter, Clementine Ruth Hahn.

Funeral Services will be 2:00 pm Saturday, April 9, 2022 from St. John's Lutheran Church with Rev. Jon Dickmander officiating. Visitation will be Friday, April 8th 2022 9:00 am to 6:00 pm at the Draucker Funeral Home Chapel.&nbsp; A memorial has been established to St. John's Lutheran Church.
