Roger D. Skinner (1940-2022)

Jane Elizabeth Binegar Moore, of Sutherland, died unexpectedly at Great Plains Health on December 11, 2021, at the age of 77.

Jane was born to Everett and Bonita (Plucknett) Binegar on July 17, 1944, at Sutherland Community Hospital, delivered by her future father-in-law Dr. Harlon Moore. Jane spent her childhood with her three sisters roaming the hills that she loved west of Sutherland. After graduating from Sutherland High School in 1962, Jane attended the University of Nebraska at Lincoln and graduated in 1966.

In 1966, Jane was united in marriage to Milan Moore at Sutherland Methodist Church. She continued the June 11th wedding date tradition begun by her great-grandmother and shared by her grandmother and mother. The couple lived in Valparaiso and then West Point, where their first-born child, Jonathan, was born. They moved to Imperial, where Tania was born, before returning to Sutherland in 1973 in time for the July 4th community celebration. Their youngest child, Tara, arrived the following year.

Jane’s focus was her children. She supported them in their academics, interests, and activities while also substitute teaching and bookkeeping. While raising her family, Jane studied for years to pass her certified public accountant exam on the first try! Jane then worked as an accountant for Kelley, Scritsmier &amp; Byrne for 23 years.

Jane always enjoyed roadtrips with her husband, having visited all 50 states in her beloved country. Highlights included trips to see her sisters and Virginia grandchildren. Within Nebraska, Jane followed her Sutherland grandchildren in their sports and fine arts and served as an unofficial speech judge of all the competitors. With her great love of music, she very much enjoyed time spent with her family singing together around the piano wherever they were able to gather together.

Jane will be greatly missed by her Bridge Buddies, other bridge club friends, her fellow booklovers, and the Library Board. She kept in touch with high school and college friends as well as neighbors and cousins who were practically her brothers and sisters. Jane was a lifelong member of the United Methodist Church.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Everett and Bonita Binegar; and nephew, Tommy Meyen.

Jane leaves behind her husband of 55 years, Milan; their children: Jonathan (Terri) Moore, of Springfield, VA, Tania Moore, of Williamsburg, IA, and Tara (Matthew) Naughtin, of Sutherland; grandchildren: Isaiah Moore, Elijah Moore, Dominic Naughtin, Bonita Naughtin, Maverick Naughtin, and Glory Naughtin; her sisters: Jean (Robert) Moore, of Kuna, ID, Janice (Garen) Sailors, of Chandler, AZ, and Joyce (Rodney) Meyen, of Cheyenne, WY; as well as other family.

Jane's life will be celebrated by family and friends on Saturday, July 2, 2022, at the Sutherland United Methodist Church. Celebration of Life will begin at 11 a.m. followed by a lunch at the church.&nbsp; In lieu of flowers, suggested memorials are to the Sutherland Volunteer Fire Department and the memorial fund at the Sutherland Library. The memorial book may be signed at the church or online at odeanchapel.com. A private family burial was held in December as Jane was laid to rest in the Riverview Cemetery.

Dr. Michael Trierweiler, devoted physician, husband, father and friend, passed away on Dec. 31, 2021, in Maricopa, Arizona. Born in 1949 to Jack and Fern Trierweiler in Gary, Indiana, Mike spent the majority of his childhood in Chula Vista, California, where he developed his love for the outdoors, good Mexican food and trying not to be too much of a troublemaker for the Catholic school nuns. He graduated from St. Augustine High School in 1967. After graduating from college, Mike attended the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California, followed by an internship and residency at the University of Colorado Hospital. Over his long career in obstetrics and gynecology in both Colorado and Nebraska, Mike delivered more than 7,000 babies, greeting each of them to the world with his trademark warmth, humor, and patience. An avid outdoorsman, Mike spent much of his time outside the hospital sharing his love for the wilderness with his wife, Deanna, and their four children. If it was outside, Mike probably enjoyed it, from hunting, fishing and camping to hiking and Jeeping in Arizona. To the amazement of his lazier family and friends, Mike rode his bicycle across the state of Nebraska seven times, and in 2012, he rode from the Canadian to the Mexican border. He is preceded in death by his parents, Jack and Fern Trierweiler; and his brother, Bob. He is survived by his wife Deanna; his children, Hannah (Matt), John (Allison), David and Megan; his sister, Mary; his grandchildren, Henry, Margaret, Jack and Sloane; and the many friends that he made wherever he went. Services will be held at a later date. In the meantime, take a long walk with someone you love in Mike's honor.

Edith M. Berthelsen, 97, of Liberty, Missouri, formerly of Lexington, Nebraska passed away on Friday, December 24, 2021 at Liberty Health &amp; Wellness.&nbsp; Edith Maxine Berthelsen made it home for Christmas, late on Christmas Eve. As always, she went on her own time, at 11:46 PM, giving her just enough time to stop at the Heavenly Hair Salon to make sure her hair would be eternally perfect. At 97, Edith outlived many family and friends and leaves behind a legacy of kindness, dedication to family, friendliness to everyone, and some delicious pies. She brought kindness, laughter, and love everywhere she went and left a lasting memory with everyone she met. Born in September of 1924 in Fairbury, Nebraska, to Albert and Agnes Williams, Edith was one of 7 siblings, Jack, Kenneth, Dorotheia, Loretta, Lexey, and Audrey. As a depression-era child, Edith would often talk about growing up with very little, which made her place a greater value on everything she had. She often told stories of how her father would play the banjo and she would sing and dance with all of her siblings. Edith enjoyed her life in rural Nebraska, where she met and married Gordon Berthelsen, the love of her life, but duty called and she followed him to the east coast where he was training to be a pilot. First, they lived in Brooklyn, NY, where Sherry, the first of their two daughters, was born. Then they moved to Pensacola, FL where Edith spend time as a riveter repairing and building World War II airplanes. After the war, they moved back to Albion, Nebraska where Linda, their second daughter was born. Later, they settled in Lexington, Nebraska where they owned and operated a Coast to Coast Hardware store for many years. After selling the store, Edith worked at Barmore's Drug store, where she continued to serve with a smile and almost always knew where to find anything that anyone needed. In their later years, Gordon and Edith moved to St. Joseph, MO, and then Grain Valley, MO to be closer to family. Edith worked for Walgreens, where her legacy of kindness, knowledge, and service with a smile continued to leave a lasting impact. At age 90, she said, "I think I've worked enough and can retire now." She loved many things in life: turquoise, bananas, family, friends, and just about everything sold on QVC. For the three remaining grandchildren, Rodman, Heather, and Jube, they always knew they were at home in the turquoise house on Cleveland Street. From the turquoise carpet, furniture, blender, and toilet, to the abundant amount of collectibles on display. There was always a lot of love, laughter, stories, and delicious things to eat. She was a collector of many things, none more important than family and friends. Along with her legacy of kindness, she leaves behind 3 grandchildren, Heather (Eric) Wagers of Liberty, Missouri, Rodman (Gina) Schley of Arvada, Colorado and Jube (Heather) Schley of Grain Valley, Missouri; seven great-grandchildren, Hailee (Preston) Harrelson of Liberty, Missouri, Ricky Ames of Liberty, Missouri, Sophia Schley of Arvada, Colorado, Cecilia Schley of Arvada, Colorado, Kaydee Schley of Grain Valley, Missouri, Etienne Wagers of Liberty, Missouri and Lucien Wager of Liberty, Missouri; one great-great grandson, Duke Harrelson of Liberty, Missouri; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and other loving family members. Besides her parents, Edith was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Gordon; her amazing daughters, Sherry Schley and Linda Berthelsen; and her six siblings. Edith will be dearly missed, but she already has some pies in the oven ready to serve at the heavenly family reunion. A Visitation will be held on Tuesday, January 4, 2022 from 1-1:45 p.m. with a Funeral Service to follow at 1:45 p.m. at Reynolds-Love Funeral Home in Lexington with John Strackbein, P.M.A., officiating.&nbsp; The visitation and service will be live-streamed via the Reynolds-Love Funeral Home Facebook page.&nbsp; Graveside services will follow at Greenwood Cemetery in Lexington. Reynolds-Love Funeral Home in Lexington is honored to be assisting the family with arrangements.&nbsp; Please share online condolences with the family by visiting: reynoldslovefuneralhome.com&nbsp;&nbsp;
