Leon Gift  (1950-2021)

Lois Louise Morrison passed away peacefully January 28, 2021, at Quality Senior Villages in Broken Bow, Nebraska at the age of 100 years after living a long, healthy lifestyle.

Lois was born Sept 11, 1920, to Port and Elva Whaley Johnson at their rural home north of Callaway, Nebraska. The farm family played together by attending barn dances, playing cards, singing, and dancing, playing croquet, and swimming at the river.&nbsp; Lois played with her dolls and clomped around in her high-heeled shoes, developing her future style and appearance. Her siblings, Harold, Wilma, and Veva Dee were close companions throughout their entire lives.

Lois attended Spring Creek School and graduated from Callaway High School with the class of 1940.

In 1945 Lois married Charles “Buzzy” H Jacquot.&nbsp; They began a farming life in Dale Valley west of Merna, Nebraska.&nbsp; Lois still owned the three quarters that Buzzy and she bought, farmed, and paid for before his death in 1958. Three children were born Connie Jean, Janet Kay, and Daniel Charles during their 13 years of marriage.

In 1961, Lois married Richard M Edwards from Broken Bow and one daughter, Julie Ann, was born when Lois was 46 years old, being pregnant the same time as Connie, her oldest daughter.&nbsp; Julie kept Mom “young at heart”, especially after Dick passed away in 1981.

Lois married Lawrence (Bud) Morrison from Arnold, Nebraska on January 12, 1991. They lived in North Platte, Nebraska until his death in December 1999. Lois was a true partner for Bud as they hunted, fished, traveled, danced and entertained together throughout their 70’s. &nbsp;Bud’s sons and wives Howard &amp; Linda, and Duane &amp; Barb gave Lois &amp; her family their unconditional love &amp; support during the remainder of her life.

Her final years were spent living at Off Broadway and Quality Senior Villages, being one of the longest living tenants in each facility.

Music was a passion that led her to many places such as Comstock Country, the Leiderkranz in Grand Island, NE, Branson, MO, and Nashville, TN. One of the earliest thrills was dancing to Big Band music at Sargent’s Oscar’s Palladium.

&nbsp;She was never too old for fun and adventure as “you only live once, kid!” One example was camping and riding on a 4-wheeler through the Platte River at 85 years old; sitting in a rainstorm to hear Kenny Rogers, riding on a hay rack in the pasture at Callaway reunions, and travelling to California alone at 19 years old. At 100 she still wanted to know, “Where shall we go? Come on.”

After being baptized into the Catholic Church as an adult, she devoted her time &amp; talents to the Anselmo and Broken Bow Catholic communities. She was active in the local Right to Life program. The American Auxiliary also benefited by her 72-year membership.

The priority in her life was loving &amp; appreciating her family. Every birth, wedding, birthday, picnic or gathering was attended with enthusiasm and food. Much of her time was spent caring for the health of her mother and husbands. &nbsp;In spite of losing loved ones, she had much fortitude and hopefulness to continue, always giving credit to her children and her Catholic faith for that strength.

Her last celebration was her 100th&nbsp;birthday party in 2020.&nbsp; She graciously welcomed guests in the QSV courtyard and joined the family for the evening meal.

Lois is survived by daughters Connie (Roger) Carroll of Broken Bow, NE, Janet Hill of Holdrege, NE, Julie (Mark) Watson of Sacramento, CA, and son Daniel (Sandy) Jacquot of Colorado Springs, CO; stepson Duane (Barb) Morrison of Douglas, WY and step daughter-in-law, Linda Morrison of Omaha, NE; 10 grandchildren, 3 step grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren and 5 great, great grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by her parents; husbands, 4 siblings and two sons-in-law, Dean Hill and Howard Morrison.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Jean Schutz, 101, passed away January 28, 2021, at her home in Benkelman, Nebraska. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Jean was born October 2, 1919, at Orleans, Nebraska to Roy and Jessie (Hubbell) Pearson. Jean graduated from Mascot High School and then went to work in Lincoln, Nebraska for several years before being introduced to her soon-to-be husband, Norman, by his cousin Calvin. They met while he was home on leave from the army, dated for a week, corresponded for six months until he came home on his next leave and married on March 8, 1944, in Phillipsburg, Kansas. The couple made homes in several Nebraska towns and settled down in Benkelman in 1973, where they lived the rest of their lives. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Jean enjoyed camping; she and Norman spent many years as campground hosts in Nebraska and Texas. Her hobbies included baking and sewing. She was well-known for her chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter balls. Almost every member of her family is the recipient of a beloved blue jean quilt made from family members' worn out blue jeans and pieced with love. Even this past November she sewed up 32 placemats! &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;For Jean, everything revolved around her family to whom she was so devoted. She was always up for any card game and certainly won more than most. And never an evening went by without a glass of her favorite wine. When she asked any of her doctors about whether she should be drinking wine, they agreed that she should continue her habit - and who would argue with a 100+ year old woman about what is or isn't healthy. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Jean is survived by her children, Kathy Aerni and her husband Mel of Madrid, Nebraska,&nbsp; Jan Illian and her husband Doug of Denver, Colorado, Tom Schutz of Benkelman, Nebraska, and Becky Shultz of Oklahoma City, Oklahooma; 7 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; siblings Dean Pearson of Kearney, Nebraska, Janis Ledbetter of Beaver City, Nebraska, and Jim Pearson of Las Vegas, Nevada; and a sister-in-law, Ann of Los Angeles, California; a very special "son" Stan; and many nieces and nephews. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;She was preceded by her husband, Norman; her son, David, and David's wife, Patsy. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;In lieu of flowers, a memorial has been established in Jean's memory for later designation. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Condolences may be shared at prairiehillsfuneralhome.com. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Private Family Graveside services will be on Tuesday, February 2, 2021, at 1 p.m. CT at Fort McPherson National Cemetery in Maxwell, Nebraska. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Prairie Hills Funeral Home of Ogallala, Nebraska is in charge of arrangements.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Lila Runge  (1940-2021)

Josephine "Jo" Lopez was born on November 13, 1928 in Valentine, Nebraska to Vicente &amp; Mamie (Brooks) Lopez.&nbsp; Jo was the 8th of nine children and she joked that she should have been a boy since it went girl them boy down the line until it got to her.&nbsp; Jo passed away on january 24, 2021 at Pineview Good Samaritan in Valentine.

Jo graduated from Valentine High School in 1946.&nbsp; After graduation she took a summer job working in the ranch home of Elver &amp; Georgia Lord, south of Valentine.&nbsp; While there she met Jack &amp; Eula Coupland.&nbsp; Jack was looking for a legal secretary.&nbsp; During her interview, Jo informed him she was a better short-hand student than a typist, none the less, she was hired.&nbsp; This began her 37 1/2 year career as a legal secretary.&nbsp; She was excited to receive the first job she ever applied for.

In September 1950, the bowling alley opened and Jo began a lifelong love of the sport.&nbsp; She said, "Bowling is a disease, you stay with it, or get out after a year or two."&nbsp; This 'disease' led to her attending 29 state tournaments and two national tournaments, a high series of 622 and a high game of 238.&nbsp; In the early 70's she started the first junior bowling league.&nbsp; She was also a long-time member of the American Legion Auxiliary.

In 1958, Jo was blessed with the birth of her son, Kent, who was born 13 years to the date after her older brother was killed in WWII.&nbsp; This began a whirlwind of life activities, from Cub Scout Den Mother to Badger fan extraordinaire, following baseball, football, wrestling, and track across the state.&nbsp; From regular seasons to the Nebraska State Tournaments in Lincoln and Omaha, she was her son's biggest fan.&nbsp; She also made time for nieces, nephews, and all of Kent's friends and classmates.&nbsp; One of her later highlights was becoming a grandmother to her much-loved Sophie Jo.

She was preceded in death by her parents; siblings Anita, Albert, Christina, Vicente Jr., Margaret, Leon, Rita, and Dorthea.

Jo is survived by her son, Kent Lopez and daughter-in-law, Beth of Valentine, Nebraska; granddaughter, Sophie Jo; sister-in-law, Helen Lopez Colgan of Valentine, Nebraska; and her beloved nieces and nephews.

Funeral service for Josephine Lopez, age 92, of Valentine, Nebraska will be held on Saturday, January 30th, 2021 at 2:00 PM at the United Methodist Church in Valentine (masks are requested).&nbsp; Burial will follow at Mt. Hope Cemetery in Valentine.&nbsp; 

Visitation will be Friday, January 29th, 2021 at 3 PM at Sandoz Chapel of the Pines in Valentine, Nebraska.&nbsp;

Clifford V. Gordon  (1942-2021)

Glenda Jean Haynes-Sauer was born to Milton Haynes and Ethel Karr Haynes on December 21, 1949 in Longmont, Colorado. She departed to be with her LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ, on January 24, 2021, at the age of 71.

Glenda was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and aunt, a.k.a. “Gramma G and Auntie G.”&nbsp; 

She is survived by her husband Rick Sauer; her sister Shirley Parker; her son Lawny Andersen and his wife Holl, and their children Elena, Eli, and Ella; her step-daughter Krista Manheimer and her husband Mario, and their son Alexander; her nephew Kyle Parker and his wife Gretchen, and their children Jack and Molly; her nephew Jeremy Marshall and his wife Gabrielle, and their children Brock and Cole; and her niece Amanda and her husband Jesse, and their children Kinsey and Kaitlin.&nbsp;

She was preceded in death by her loving parents and her dear sister Janette Marshall.

Glenda grew up in Longmont and went to Longmont High School. She worked at Duckwall’s Department Store as a teen and then worked at Hewlett Packard for over 25 years. She liked to work, but knew how to relax and have fun as well. She and Shirley never went on a date alone in their younger years, always double dating! She and Janette loved to prepare family meals and do all the clean up afterwards. The three sisters spent all their time together and had beautiful friendships.

Over the years, Glenda lived in Longmont, CO, Loveland, CO, Everett, WA, Telluride, CO, Sedona, AZ, and Ogallala, NE.&nbsp;

In Longmont in 1970 Glenda gave birth to her son Lawny.&nbsp; She was a devoted mom and always did everything to make a wonderful childhood for him. Strangely, she really thought Lawny was a perfect child. Weird!? This was news to everyone else!&nbsp; Glenda, along with Lawny’s dad Hal Andersen, raised Lawny with family nearby and created a supportive, healthy, and loving environment for him. Glenda and Lawny always remained close.&nbsp;

In 1999, Glenda met Rick Sauer through an online dating site. After months of developing a friendship and falling in love, they finally met! They got married nine months later in June of 2000. For their wedding, they went to the top of a mountain in Telluride, Colorado and said their vows to each other. Rick and Glenda started their married life in Telluride, but moved to Longmont to be near to family in 2001. At that time, they had a beautiful wedding ceremony with family and friends. In 2004, they moved to Sedona, AZ. They both enjoyed working for the same hotel there. Glenda’s job was to chauffeur young, international hotel-interns around the massive hotel grounds and take them on field trips to places like Flag Staff to shop and to the Grand Canyon. She loved it! 

In 2006, Rick and Glenda move back to Longmont where they managed a mobile home park together and where, in 2013, they battled through the unprecedented Northern Colorado flood. Although they lost their home and most of their possessions, they were resilient, and rebuilt their life.&nbsp; At this time, they lived in Longmont another year until they decided to relocate to Ogallala, NE to be near Rick’s family. They remained there until her passing. The online friendship Rick and Glenda developed before they met in person so many years ago, created a firm foundation for their marriage and life together. They loved to travel and spend time together. They were happy and committed to each other to the end.

Glenda was always involved in her grandchildren’s and nieces’ and nephews’ lives. She continually showed up with treats like strawberry milk and tried never to miss a birthday party, soccer game, music concert, or family event. Glenda opened her heart and often her doors to each of her family members and she took time to form relationships. On birthdays, she took each child out on a date for dinner and shopping. She and Rick baked cookies to share at Christmas, and Glenda, like her mother, was famous for her green Christmas trees. It didn’t matter if a granddaughter showed up with five friends for dinner, or a niece and her children needed to move in, she (and Rick) were generous and open-hearted. Family was always central to Glenda’s life and she had an endearing love for the youngest members.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Over the years, Glenda developed life-long friendships. Even in the last days, she was actively reaching out to a dear friend of over 60 years who needed cheering up. Her kind heart, her love of teasing her family and friends, her toughness and no-nonsense attitude, her sassy stubbornness, her ability to make people feel special, and her total love and commitment to her family were all hallmarks of who she was.&nbsp;&nbsp;

In the last few years, Glenda fought through heart and lung trouble, and finally cancer. When asked how she was doing, she would shrug her shoulders and answer casually, “Pretty good,” and then smile.&nbsp; She didn’t complain, but instead kept up a positive and accepting attitude that inspired everyone around her.&nbsp; Glenda blessed our lives and she will be greatly missed.&nbsp; *************************************************************************************

A Graveside Service will be held at Mountain View Cemetery in Longmont, Colorado on Monday, February 1st, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time, with nephew Kyle Parker officiating.&nbsp;
