Mildred Ellen (Clapp) Housley was born May 10, 1927 in McCook, Nebraska to Charley Allen and Crescenty ‘Cinda’ Matilda (Balius) Clapp, the fourth of ten children.&nbsp; After graduating from McCook High School in 1945, she worked at the Safeway grocery store to help support her parents and siblings. &nbsp;&nbsp;

On November 12, 1948 Millie married her high school sweetheart, Stanley Robert Housley, in Grand Island, Nebraska.&nbsp; Millie immediately embraced the role as a loving mother to her infant step-son Gary Robert Housley.&nbsp; Eventually, Millie and Stan’s family grew by four as Linda, Cindy, Terri, and Cheryl were born.

She was a homemaker, softball coach, and #1 fan of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, spending countless hours playing ball in the yard and cheering them on from the stands.&nbsp; She was also a #1 fan of the Atlanta Braves and Saint Louis Cardinals (or as her grandson Kyler called them ‘Two Birds on a Stick’).&nbsp; On Wednesday nights, Millie and her sisters Levina, Trudy, Bev and her aunt Esther would be found at the Elks Club shouting ‘Bingo!’ but more frequently grumbling out ‘Darn It!’. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Millie was a 60 plus year member of the United Methodist Church in McCook.&nbsp; She received the ‘Good Neigh-Bear’ Award in 2000.&nbsp; Millie was widely known for her giving spirit, caring heart, and willingness to volunteer.&nbsp; She folded hundreds of Bison Alumni newsletters, helped Levina serve cinnamon rolls at Bingo, and lent a helping hand at Hillcrest Nursing Home.&nbsp; When she was not baby-sitting or rounding up children, you would probably find her mowing, sweeping the sidewalks, or scooping snow.&nbsp; Anyone walking by on those pristine sidewalks would often see her playing catch with the youngsters or hear her teaching them how to yodel and play the harmonica.&nbsp; Millie treated everyone like family with the porch being a popular place on any given day. &nbsp;Her love was like the positive side of her kitchen magnets, pulling loved ones in and holding them close.&nbsp; Every Christmas Eve was spent at Grandma Millie’s, with the grandkids excitedly trying to find their very own special Christmas ornament hanging throughout the house.&nbsp; She made the world’s best fudge, peanut brittle, and sugar cookies, often sending leftovers home either in Country Crock bowls or neatly ‘ironed’ Wal-Mart bags.

Millie was reunited with the love of her life on Thursday, January 14, 2021 at Community Hospital in McCook, Nebraska.&nbsp;

 Preceding her in death were her parents; her husband on February 11, 1999; brothers Albert, Charles Jr, and Clifford Clapp; sisters Evelyn Spence, Eva Harris, Gladys Earl, and Gertrude King; brothers-in-law Darrell Housley, Clarence Liston, Bernard King, Robert Hagemann, Kenneth Holcomb, William King, William Harris, Donald Spence, Darryl Earl, Robert Johnson, Paul Fritsche, and Gary Premer; sisters-in-law Mabel Davis, Geraldine Holcomb, Sally Johnson, and Betty Clapp; grandchildren Jeffrey, Kerri, and Kody McCully; and granddaughter-in-law Michelle Stevens.&nbsp; 

Millie is survived by her sisters Levina Fritsche and Beverly Premer of McCook, NE; sisters-in-law Freda Clapp of McCook, NE, Rosalee (William) Pinkerton of Manteca, California and Peggy Grey of California; step-son Gary Housley of Cheyenne, Wyoming; daughters Linda (Dan) Haines of Culbertson, Nebraska, Cindy (Steve) Quigley of Indianola, Nebraska, Terri (Tim) Stevens of McCook, Nebraska, and Cheryl Collins of McCook, Nebraska; grandchildren Erica Hill, Kyler (Amy) Haines, Danny (Misty) Haines, Bree (Lance) Frazier, Rami (Jarod) Albers, Taylor Quigley and special friend Andee Noltensmeier, Ryan Stevens, Jason (Jackie) Stevens, Tara (Andy) Jernigan, Laci (Jason) Ingels, and Kori (Aaron) Gandy; 32 great-grandchildren; 2 great-great grandchildren with 2 more on the way; and numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family.

A visitation will be held on Friday, January 22, 2021 from 5 to 7PM at Carpenter Breland Funeral Home, McCook, NE.

Tom Scorsone  (1941-2021)

Paul James Crofutt, age, 96, of Keystone, Nebraska passed away Tuesday, January 5, 2021, at North Platte, Nebraska.

Paul James Crofutt, son of Otto and Grace (Donohoe) Crofutt, was born June 12, 1924 at his grandparents' home at Ellsworth, Nebraska.

He attended numerous schools throughout the Sandhills and South Dakota, staying with various relatives and working for his board and personal expenses. He graduated from High School at Clinton, Nebraska in 1941. That summer and fall he helped his Donohoe grandparents at Ellsworth after which he went to work for the Abbot Cattle Co. For the two years he was at Abbot's he was on the Chuckwagon crew, and was never too fond of camping after that. After leaving Abbot's, he went to work on Ted McGinley's Red Deer Ranch near Valentine, Nebraska where he met his true love and best friend, June Blomenkamp. Paul and June eloped and were married at Scottsbluff, Nebraska in 1946. Their friendship and partnership continued for 74 years. &nbsp; Their first home was on the Ralph Hawkins ranch at Keystone, Nebraska. In 1949 they moved to Keystone where they operated the Central Office of the Keystone Arthur Telephone Company. The switchboard was in their home and open for business twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. They operated it for four years. During this time the young couple purchased their first land, a quarter section northwest of Keystone known as the "Hans Thompson place." They moved to the farm in 1952 with two small children to a two room house, so a building project was in order. The first addition was completed with the addition of two more children. More building was necessary to accommodate a fifth. Paul and June purchased the "Berquist" place in 1961 and moved to a much larger house there.

Paul and June farmed and ranched north of Keystone for 60+ years.&nbsp; They raised 5 children and always had room for a few more. In 2003 they sold part of the place to Ron and Lea Ann Graham which allowed them to return to their original land purchase to enjoy their retirement.&nbsp;

Paul was active in his community, serving on the Keystone School Board, the Election Board, the Historical Society and as a leader of 4-H. He was a member of the Keystone Presbyterian Church and was ordained as an Elder.&nbsp;

Paul is survived by his beautiful wife, June, of Keystone, Nebraska; children, Paula Crofutt (Thom Barkes) of Port Townsend, WA, Sally Crofutt (Larry Green) of Bayside, TX, Larry Crofutt of Bayside, TX, and Mary Lou Crofutt of Keystone, NE; daughters in law, Rosalee Crofutt and Marcia Crofutt; sisters, Eileen Robertson of Roundup, MT, Viola Goldsmith of Ellis, IL and brother Wayne Crofutt of Little Rock, CA.; grandchildren, Kevin, Jesse, Ross, and Walt Crofutt, Joellen Clark (Ben), Hillary Green (Sunjay Lal), and Kelly Sue O'Brien; and great granddaughter Avy Clark.

He was preceded in death by his parents; a son, Wayne Crofutt; son in law, Jimmy O'Brien; and sisters, Edna, Ruth, Doris, and Barbara.

A Memorial Service will be held, Saturday, February 6, 2021 at 10:30 a.m., with Ron Jay officiating at the Keystone Presbyterian Church in Keystone, NE.&nbsp;

Memorials are suggested to Keystone Presbyterian Church, Keystone-Lemoyne Fire Department or to the donor's choice.
