Ciarah Chae Schollmeyer  (2010-2021)

On Wednesday, June 23, 2021 Darlene went to walk with Jesus. She went with faith and without fear, with her husband, Lynn, at her side.

Darlene was born July 31, 1932, in Ainsworth, NE to Robert and Martina Schroeder. She attended country school at Kewanee until 7th&nbsp;grade then moved into Valentine, NE where she graduated from high school in 1949.

While she was in her sophomore year, Darlene was introduced to Lynn Schaefer, a friend of her parents. Darlene converted to Catholicism and the two married in the Catholic Church on October 28, 1950.

The first test of their marriage came in 1952 when Lynn enlisted in the U.S. Army. For the two years that he was stationed in Germany, Darlene stayed at home with her parents and worked at Flynn Rexall Drugstore.

When Lynn returned home, the couple moved to Martin, SD where they operated the OK Court Motel and Drive Inn owned by Darlene’s parents. They lived there until late 1954 when they moved back to Valentine and Darlene gave birth to their first daughter, Suzanne. The two went on to have three more children, Bob, Reggie, and Denise. &nbsp;

Darlene’s priority was always her family which is why she was a stay-at-home mom until 1967. While her children were growing up, Darlene served as room mother in their classrooms, organized class activities, made many of their clothes by hand and always made sure the children were happy and healthy.

In 1967, Darlene went to work at the County Assessor’s Office where she stayed for eight years. She also worked part-time as bailiff for the Clerk of District Court.

Second only to her devotion to her family, was Darlene’s selfless service to her community. She served as president of the Altar Society for many years and was a proud member of the VFW Auxiliary, the American Legion Auxiliary, and regularly volunteered at the Valentine Senior Citizens Center.

Darlene is survived her husband, Lynn, children, Suzanne (Don) Baker, Bob (Jane) Schaefer, Reggie Bennett, Denise (Ralph) Simons, 10 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren, one great great grandchild.

She was preceded in death by her parents, brother Robert, sister Norma Jean, and grandson David.

Mass of Christian Burial for Darlene Schaefer, age 88, of Valentine, Nebraska will be held at 10:00 AM on Tuesday, June 29th&nbsp;at St. Nicholas Catholic Church in Valentine.&nbsp; Rosary will be recited on Monday, June 28th&nbsp;at 7:00 PM at the church.&nbsp; Visitation will be on Monday at 5:00 PM until rosary time at Sandoz Chapel of the Pines in Valentine.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Darrel Richard Fellows (Dick), age 78, passed away on the 13th of October 2020 while living at Cambridge Court Assisted Living in Mesquite, Texas. Darrel passed away of natural causes related to failing health conditions.

Darrel was born the 28th of August 1942 in Basin, Wyoming to Darrel Clayton (Red) and Arlene Joy (Drake) Fellows. He grew up with his siblings in Cozad, Nebraska. There, they enjoyed many family gatherings with the Kirkpatrick, Thompson and Carpenter families. The Fellows have a rich history dated back to 1900 when Darrel’s grandparents Thomas Nicholson and Grace May (Nichols) Fellows were married in Eustis Village, Nebraska, south of Cozad. The Fellows’ family cemetery plots are located just south of Cozad, Nebraska at Fairview Cemetery.

Darrel’s Siblings are, Patricia Arlene (Ballard) married to William Robert France (2018) of Lexington, Nebraska, Beverly June (2011) married to Donald Dean (Pal) Carpenter (1993) of Baytown, Texas, Sandra Gay (2018) married to Lawrence Edward Tappan (2014) of Arizona City, Arizona, Sharron Kay married to Frank Joseph Nejedly (2006) of North Platte, Nebraska, Kevin Drake married to Vicki Lynn (Klee) of Etoile, Texas, and Joel Timothy (2016) of King Wood, Texas divorced from Susan Lee (Sharrock) of Wasilla, Alaska.

Darrel married Mary Ruth (Blankinship) 27 January 1962 in Kansas City, Missouri.

He was a stubborn, independent thinker and never finished high school but later completed his GED while in the military. He started his life journey early as a ranch hand then later at the age of 19, joined the United States Army (1961 – 1964) and began a family with Mary. After his military service the couple moved to Jerico Springs, Missouri just north east of Lamar where they bought and worked a farm for a few years near Mary’s parent’s farm. The couple moved back to Kansas City where Darrel worked as a butcher in a beef packing plant. While Darrel was deciding what path to take in his career, he moved the family to various other communities until finally settling in Callaway, Nebraska in 1970. There the couple raised three children into adults then moved to Brady, Nebraska in 1990.

In the early 1970’s Darrel began learning to drive semi-trucks and drove for Romans Motor Freight and later for Hilt Truck lines as an owner operator. In the late 70’s Mary joined Darrel as a team driver and for the next 16 years they traveled coast to coast driving for Shaffer trucking and Crete Carriers. In 1995 the couple retired from trucking then purchased Brady Get-n-Go convenience store where they enjoyed the patronage of Brady residents for the next 17 years. In 2012 the couple sold the store and permanently retired.

Darrel has been an active member of the American Legion since 1976. He enjoyed riding horses in his early years and then in retirement he enjoyed wood carving with his best friend Gary (Carol) Bell of Brady, Nebraska.

Laddie Doak Olson  (1929-2021)

Richard John “Dick” Sedlacek left this earth and joined his Heavenly Father on June 23, 2021.

He was born on Oct. 20, 1930, in Crete, Nebraska in a home he playfully referred to as “The Shrine.” The family, father, John, mother, Louise, and two younger brothers, William and Glenn, moved to Clatonia when Dick was 15 years old. This is where he met the love of his life and his soulmate, Patty Joy “Pat” Kindschi. They were high school sweethearts and married in June 1952. They recently celebrated 69 years of marriage.

Dick attended Doane College, graduating in 1952 with a degree in education. It was at Doane that he performed in the Hill Top Four barbershop quartet. They performed at Nebraska high schools recruiting students for Doane.

Dick was drafted into the U.S. Army in September 1952 and was assigned to Camp Chaffee, Arkansas, for basic training. He was then transferred to Fort Sill in Lawton, Oklahoma. Pat joined him there, where they lived until Dick was honorably discharged in 1954. Dick and Pat then moved back to Crete where Dick began his career in education by teaching English at Crete Senior High School. He continued his education by completing a Master in Administration degree, and he became principal at Crete Junior High. Shortly thereafter, he became principal at Crete Senior High.

In 1956, Dick became a father to Douglas Richard. Two years later daughter Chery Ann was born. In 1965, Dick and family moved to North Platte, Nebraska where he became principal of North Platte Senior High School. He was principal there until 1989. He spent 35 years in education. To say he loved being a principal is an understatement. It was his passion, and it defined him. During his time as principal, he belonged to the Nebraska State Education Association, NEA, Nebraska Governor’s Task Force on Excellence in Education, Honorary Life Member of the PTA, the National Association of Secondary School Principals, and the Nebraska State Association of Secondary School Principals.

He was a member of the First United Methodist Church, Elks, American Legion, Nebraska Schoolmasters and a 53-year member of the Noon Rotary Club, where he was the oldest member. He and Pat were co-chairs of the 1983 United Way drive.

The only thing Dick loved more than being a principal and a father was being a grandfather. The sun rose and set on his grandchildren. He was so excited when he found out he was going to be a “PaPa.” His other loves were his boat and his cabin at Lake Maloney. If you put the grandchildren together with him at the lake, he was truly in heaven.

He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Louise Sedlacek; and his brother, Glenn Sedlacek.

He is survived by his wife, Patricia Sedlacek; his children, Doug (Cheryl) Sedlacek and Chery (Kelly) Schilling; three grandchildren, Kelley Sedlacek (George) Hunt, Kristi Schilling, and Ryan (Kelli) Schilling; brother, William (Betty) Sedlacek; sister-in-law, Kay Sedlacek; nieces, Deb Leibel, Karen Nichols and Nadine (Bobby) Paugh; and nephews, Gregg Sedlacek and Russel (Tracey) Runty.

Memorials are suggested to the Richard Sedlacek Education Fund at the Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation. Online condolences may be shared at carpentermemorial.com.

Memorial service will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday, June 29, at the First United Methodist Church in North Platte with the Rev. Dr. Douglas Delp officiating. Burial will be at Fort McPherson National Cemetery, near Maxwell, with full military honors provided by the North Platte Veterans Honor Guard. The service will be livestreamed via Carpenter Memorial Chapel’s Facebook page. Memorial book signing will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, June 28, at Carpenter Memorial Chapel, which is entrusted with arrangements.

Frances Ann Cade  (1939-2021)

Lewis Marcell Stephen of Hays, Kansas was born on January 3, 1950, in 
Stockton, Kansas to Lewis Harold Stephen and Glennys Faye (Reed) 
Stephen. They lived on the family farm along Bow Creek in Rooks County. 
He had seven other siblings: Lawrence, Loretta, Lorene, Lucille, LeRoy, 
Lana and Leonard. 
 Lewis attended schools in Stockton, Hoxie, and Colby. He graduated 
from Stockton High School with the class of 1969. Shortly after, he 
married Rhonda Irish of Nebraska in 1970. To this union were born two 
sons: Jeremy and Stacey. They later divorced. He enlisted in the United 
States Army and served his country for a faithful seven years before 
being honorably discharged in October of 1978. In the Army he worked as 
Military Police and was stationed in Germany, Fort Meade Maryland, and 
Fort Riley in Kansas. Following his discharge, he worked in Hays at 
Waffle Crete, then Contact America and Answer Net for many years as a 
supervisor. He retired as a supervisor but stayed busy by doing 
landscaping and lawn maintenance for his neighbors and friends, which he
 loved to do. 
 Lewis was a hardworking, busy body. If he wasn’t tending to a 
friend, neighbor, or family’s lawn, he was hitting garage sales to find 
treasures he could fix up to re-sell for a few extra bucks - and did 
quite well in doing so! He cared deeply for his family and his three 
furry, fat and happy cats. He will be remembered for his witty 
personality, patriotism, and work ethic.
 It has been said, “The happiest of people don’t have the best of 
everything, they just make the best of everything they have,” and 
Lewis’s life was a testament to this.” He was a kind and loving man who 
lived to serve his family, friends, and neighbors. He tended to the 
hearts and souls of all knew him and made a life that will continue to 
grow for eternity.
 Lewis is survived by his siblings, Lorene (Don) Alexander of 
Carmichael, CA, Lana (Larry) Odle of Stockton, KS, Leonard Stephen of 
Atwood, KS; sister-in-law, Barbara Stephen of Phillipsburg, KS; son, 
Stacey (Laura) Stephen of Gothenburg, NE; eight grandchildren, Chase, 
Chyler (Anthoney), Kerigan, Carlin, Collin, Keyan, Holden, and Travin; 
three great-grandchildren, Rosey, Laney, and Grayson; numerous nieces, 
nephews, and cousins; Aunt ArLene Wolfe of Concordia, KS; a very special
 friend, Lenora Goetz; and close friends, Mandy Feik, Jeff Jordan, and 
many others.
 He is preceded in death by his parents, Lewis and Glennys Stephen; 
son, Jeremy Stephen; siblings, Lawrence, LeRoy, Loretta Meyer and 
Lucille Brush; and grandparents.
 A Graveside Service will be held at the Stockton City Cemetery in 
Stockton on Saturday, June 26, 2021 at 11 AM. Visitation will be held at
 the funeral home on Saturday morning from 9 AM until 10:30 AM.
 Memorials are suggested to the Lewis Stephen Memorial Fund and may 
be sent in care of Plumer-Overlease Funeral Home, 723 North First, 
Stockton, KS 67669.

Richard William Elson was born May 11, 1954 in McCook, Nebraska to Tom and Merna Elson of Curtis, Nebraska. He came home to sister Beth and brother Dale. Brother Eldon was born in 1962. Dick died June 13th, 2021, at Great Plains Hospital in North Platte, Nebraska after a short battle with cancer. He died with a smile on his face and a look of peace.

 He is survived by his special friend Annie Tuma of St. Paul, Nebraska; his sister Beth (Elson) Miller (Bob)of Pawnee City, Nebraska; his sister-in-law Lorinda of Curtis, Nebraska; his brother Eldon (Sue) of Curtis, Nebraska; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. 

He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother Dale; and nephew Travis Miller. 

Dick was a lifelong resident of Curtis, Nebraska.

Dick didn’t know a stranger. He always had a smile on his face, and he loved to talk. Dick loved history, politics, horses, hunting, farming, ranching, pheasants, buffalo grass, strawberries, choke cherries, Husker Football, and golf. He loved his roping horses, especially Honey. He loved his heeler dogs, especially Corky. Dick belonged to the Curtis roping club and he performed at the Buffalo Bill Rodeo roping calves for many years. Dick loved playing cards with his family and friends and especially loved winning their money. Dick enjoyed holidays where the family would gather to celebrate. He was very patriotic and loved his country. He loved cheering for his Huskers each football season. Dick was very close to his mother, Merna, and always made sure she had a bouquet of flowers every Mother’s Day. Dick loved riding horses and Dancer was his favorite too. He spent much of his earlier life on the back of the horse even showing his nieces and nephews how to ride. He loved the farm and ranch. He believed in conservation and preservation of the land. He spent time helping in the conservation program LCRA. He also helped with getting the Arrowhead Meadows Golf Course established in Curtis. He was an active sponsor of Pheasants Forever which helps promote the conservation of the pheasant population.

A portion of Dick’s ashes will be spread on his land on the first day of Pheasant season to honor the things that mattered most to Dick in his lifetime: Family, traditions, heritage, land preservation/conservation, hunting and friends.&nbsp;
