Glenn C. Ellis, most commonly known as “Jiggs”, was born October 10, 1924 in rural Dundy County to Samuel W. Ellis and Lola (Cook) Ellis. He departed this life February 5, 2022 at the age of 97 years, 3 months and 25 days at his home in Red Cloud, Nebraska surrounded by his family. He received his education through the eighth grade in a one-room school house, District 31, in Dundy County.

Gene Palser (1957-2022)

Norma&nbsp;Jean&nbsp;Mossberger was born to Howard and Bessie Mossberger on January 24, 1931, in Grayville, Illinois. She had four sisters, Etta Ruth, Betty Lou, and twins Ellen Fay and Helen May along with baby brother, Bobby. Norma's dad passed away when she was nine. After completing the 8th grade, her mother required her help at home to raise her younger siblings and Bessie took in laundry and ironing to make ends meet. Some years later Norma met her future husband, Leonard Swingle, on a blind date set up by her older sister, Etta. They were married in Grayville, Illinois, on September 8, 1951. The following year Barbara Jean was born, and soon to follow were Mary Jane, Jimmy Ray, David Neal, Cora Lynn and Burl Clinton. Being the wife of a school teacher with six young children was an adventure, often challenging, yet Norma never complained. While living in a remote mountain cabin on Laramie Peak in Wyoming, Norma delivered two babies with no indoor plumbing. The family of eight moved to Gillette, Wyoming in 1966 where she finally owned her own home in 1971. Norma worked various housekeeping positions to earn money for extra comforts in their home. On June 22, 1986, Leonard died suddenly. In later years, Norma developed dementia and macular degenerative disease requiring full time care. She lived with Barb in North Platte, Nebraska, for several years until moving into her final residence at the Sutherland Care Home in Sutherland, Nebraska. There Norma was loved and well cared for by all. Norma's sense of humor and tall stories kept them all laughing along with her. She died January 28, 2022, after celebrating her 91st birthday with Cora, Mary and staff members. We will all remember her giggle and stories.

Her love for red roses, chocolates (which she claimed to have an allergy to) and her bridal doll collection are legendary, with many precious memories. Norma was a beautiful soul (a little wacky at times) but was never selfish or one to complain. Norma would do anything for her children. May she Rest In Peace, united with her loving husband, Leonard, and her Lord and Savior Jesus.

Norma was also preceded in death by her granddaughter, Kristine Ann Crowder Kolczak; and great-granddaughter, Tayler Christiansen Witt. Survivors include all six of her children, Barbara Crowder of Sante Fe, New Mexico, Mary (David) Bannister of Sundance, Wyoming, Jim (Ellen) Swingle of Laramie, Wyoming, David (Peggy) Swingle of Meridian, Idaho, Cora Huber of Spencer, Iowa, and Burl (Diane) Swingle of Nampa, Idaho. Survivors also include her sister, Ellen in Illinois; 16 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren and 6 great great-grandchildren; as well as other family.

Graveside services will be held at the Omaha National Cemetery at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, February 8, 2022. All in attendance need to check into the cemetery by 12:30 p.m. Online condolences may be shared at odeanchapel.com. Odean Colonial Chapel at C &amp; Sycamore is in charge of arrangements.

 </figure>Norma&nbsp;Jean&nbsp;Mossberger was born to Howard and Bessie Mossberger on January 24, 1931, in Grayville, Illinois. She had four sisters, Etta Ruth, Betty Lou, and twins Ellen Fay and Helen May along with baby brother, Bobby. Norma's dad passed away when she was nine. After completing the 8th grade, her mother required her help at home to raise her younger siblings and Bessie took in laundry and ironing to make ends meet. Some years later Norma met her future husband, Leonard Swingle, on a blind date set up by her older sister, Etta. They were married in Grayville, Illinois, on September 8, 1951. The following year Barbara Jean was born, and soon to follow were Mary Jane, Jimmy Ray, David Neal, Cora Lynn and Burl Clinton. Being the wife of a school teacher with six young children was an adventure, often challenging, yet Norma never complained.

Norma Swingle (1931-2022)

Orville Wayne Harrold passed away peacefully on Monday, January 31, 2022, surrounded by his family at Brookstone View. He was just two days away from his 99th&nbsp;birthday. Orville was born on February 2, 1923, in Ohiowa, Nebraska to Raymond Otis and Helen Mary (Fritchie) Harrold. When he was three years old, his family moved to a farm South of Broken Bow. Orville loved horses. He cried the day he came home from school and found his dad had sold their four workhorses for a tractor. Shortly after, his father had a severe tractor accident. Orville spent the next year at the age of 13 taking care of the farm and his younger brothers while his dad was in the hospital and recuperating from the accident. Orville attended several schools, including Swiss Valley, Round Valley, Gates and Broken Bow. He began his senior year at Broken Bow but soon after, he was drafted for WWII. After failing his physical three times, he was commissioned to work at a farm when the hired hands all left for the war. Orville enjoyed working on the farm much more than going to school. He earned his Agriculture diploma in 1943. In 1949, he married the love of his life, Faith Irene Mattox. They farmed several places before purchasing their farm twelve miles northeast of Broken Bow. The two of them worked side by side on the farm and Orville would often say Faith was the best hired hand he ever had. Together they raised stock cattle, hogs, chickens, milk cows and grew corn, milo, alfalfa and wheat. Their farm/ranch grew to over 1600 acres. Orville took pride in sitting down to the dinner table and knowing they had raised everything. During their marriage, they were blessed with three daughters, Gloria, Neva and Melanie. Orville was on the school board for Rose Valley, the country school they attended. He also helped them train their 4-H calves and made sure they knew how to ride a horse and change a tire. In 1998, they bought a house in Broken Bow. Orville continued to drive to the farm every day and put in a full day’s work. His favorite part of farming was raising cattle, but he enjoyed it all. His love for horses continued throughout his life. After the girls were grown, they bought their first team of Belgium horses, along with a wagon for them to pull and also a little black buggy with a surrey on top to be pulled by one of their quarter horses. They enjoyed driving in parades as well as giving rides on several special occasions such as weddings and Gates class reunions. They also belonged to the Hitch’n Git Club and enjoyed the Sunday rides and the friends they made. Orville and Faith also enjoyed traveling in their ‘retirement’ years, taking numerous bus trips across the country and Canada. They enjoyed making new friends along the way as much as the sights. Soon after celebrating his 90th&nbsp;birthday, Orville lost his bride of 63 years. He was lost without her. He could be found every morning at 6:00 having breakfast at the City Café before heading to the farm. When he wasn’t at the farm, you could often find him visiting at his grandson’s car lot or a friend’s repair shop. &nbsp; Orville continued to be active on the farm until moving into Brookstone View at the age of 97 ½. At Brookstone, you could often find him walking the halls with a friend. When asked what he attributed to living to be 98 years old, he replied ‘Hard Work!’

Orville was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond and Helen (Fritchie) Harrold, brothers, Delvin Harrold and Billy Harrold. He is survived by daughters: Gloria (Dean) Duryea, Merna; Neva (John) Meyerhoff, Columbia, SC; Melanie (Bill) Lovgren, Omaha; six grandchildren: Becky (Doug) White, Merna; Adam (Erin) Duryea, Merna; Casi Meyerhoff, Hoboken, NJ; Ashley Meyerhoff, Lexington, SC; Emily (Vince) Lau, Omaha; Olivia (Joe) McKernan, Omaha. Eight great grandchildren: Zachary (Tracie) Hammond, Merna; Cassidy Hammond, Broken Bow, Destrey White, Merna; Ayden Duryea, Merna; Trevor Duryea, Merna; Brecken Meyerhoff, Lexington, SC; Brynn Lau, Omaha; Hunter Lau, Omaha and one great great grandson: Wesley Hammond, Merna. Orville also leaves behind many cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. He will be dearly missed.

Funeral services will be Saturday, February 5, 2022, at 2:00 pm at Govier Brothers Chapel in Broken Bow with David Gruszczynski and Joey McKernan officiating. Burial will be in the Broken Bow Cemetery. Memorials are suggested to Broken Bow Fire &amp; Rescue.
