Ruth Louise Rapp  (1928-2021)

Isabel Kay Phelps passed away Thursday, January 21, 2021 at her home in rural Callaway in the arms of her mother &amp; father, 2 brothers, 2 grandmothers, and a cousin at the age of 7. She reached for God's hand to be taken to her heavenly home after having comfort in the arms of those that loved her dearly that day.

Isabel was born in Kearney, Nebraska to Mark and Lindsey Phelps on Tuesday, December 3rd, 2013. She arrived at 9:03 a.m., weighing a bouncing 9lbs 13 oz. Isabel was baptized February 15th at the St. Boniface Catholic church by Father Antony Thekkekara. Her Godparents are Lana &amp; Jim Phelps and Tysen Werner. It was just little over a month after her birth that her family started a journey that would change their lives forever. For the next year there would be many trips to Children's Hospital in Omaha, NE to find out what rare disorder Isabel had. When Isabel was 9 months old she diagnosed with CDKL5, which is a rare neurological disease. Mark &amp; Lindsey were determined to give Isabel the best of life and care. They committed themselves to making their family a survivor of this disorder to the best of their ability. There were many family, friends and community members that helped, supported and prayed for Isabel, Mark, Lindsey, Emmett and Brecken in the last 6 years. Isabel would soon become known by many as the most beautiful, endearing little girl. Isabel faced tough obstacles with such poise &amp; dignity for a little child, as many know she endured terrible seizures, multiple medications, major painful surgeries, many needle sticks for tests and IV's, seeing/meeting healthcare workers and spent days away from her home. Most of her medical travel was to Children's hospital in Aurora, CO where she would meet Dr. Demerest &amp; Nurse Tristen.&nbsp; Isabel had many impactful people in her life with her loving therapists, her 1st grade classs, nurses &amp; teachers.ln the last 6 months it was becoming hard for Isabel to fight the battle and her body was tired, she hardly ever cried, she cuddled up in the arms of her parents and grandparents and other family members. Everyone who would be with Isabel was touched by her beauty, her presence, and her strength.

Isabel loved hearing the voices of those in her life, laying on the floor playing with others, listening to her mobile in her bed, being outside hearing the noises of nature and life, she had special toys she liked to hold in her hands, &amp; she loved going to her Grandparent's houses. Her family tried every year to take time to go somewhere that could be a respite for themselves. Isabel loved going to the Ocean. It brought a sense of magic that erased all the pain, worries and cares of her disease. After being admitted to hospice in September, it was the last wish of her close family to take her to the ocean one more time. That however was not meant to be when Isabel heard God calling. She left her mom &amp; dad, brothers, family and friends with such wonderful memories and the privilege of having known and loved her.

Isabel is preceded in death by Great Grandparents, Marvin &amp; Eloise Phelps; Uncle Chris Phelps, Great Grandmother Maria Romero, Cousin Lily Jean Romero, and Great-Great Grandmothers Martha Schroeder and Donna Pflaster. 

Isabel is survived by her parents Mark &amp; Lindsey Phelps, Brothers-Emmett &amp; Brecken; Grandparents: Tony &amp; Kandy Pflaster (Cozad, NE); Susan Phelps (Callaway, NE); Paul &amp; Susan Phelps (Kearney,NE); Tommy &amp; Merry Romero (Cozad, NE); Great Grandparents: Lila &amp; Dennis Beenblossom (Gothenburg, NE); Len &amp; Adele Hassenstab (Humphrey, NE); Richard &amp; Diane Pflaster (Cozad, NE); Aunts/Uncles: Jim &amp; Lana Phelps; Julie &amp; Chad Sybrant; Dusty Romero; Ozzie &amp; Liz Romero; Melissa Weiderholt; Levi Weiderholt. Many other cousins, great aunts &amp; uncles.

Phyllis D. Bailey  (1930-2021)

We call this special meeting to order. Regrettably, one of our members has left the group. Lynn Lewis Herrick went home to be with the Lord on January, 22, 2021, at the age of 92. Old Business Lynn was born on August 17, 1928, to J Lee Herrick and Jerusha Daisy Mae (Abell) Herrick in Moorefield, Nebraska. He was the fifth of seven boys.&nbsp; He was of a hardy stock. The boys walked 5 miles to and from school. If&nbsp; brother Ted was in charge, the boys would run the distance between two power poles and walk one. With a lot of prayer and a few tardies, Lynn managed to graduate from Stockville High School. He went on to obtain a degree in secondary education from the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. He taught in a number of locations but spent the longest time teaching agriculture classes and mechanics and sponsoring FFA at Gothenburg High School. As a teacher, he motivated the "trouble kids", encouraged students to properly tie a tie, and insisted all meetings be&nbsp;conducted using parliamentary procedure. After he retired from teaching, he served multiple terms on the town board for the Village of Brady-all the while ensuring they followed Robert's Rules of Order. He went on to work at multiple other jobs - most of them involving some type of business venture with his brothers. He was known for asking you what you wanted to do that day at work, and&nbsp;then proceeding to tell you what was ACTUALLY going to be done. He was always the first to offer a helping hand to anyone needing help with almost any kind of project. Gifts from Lynn came in the form of assistance with electrical wiring, painting, siding, windows, assembling and/or possibly re-assembling furniture, scaffolding, or just about anything else. He merely wanted to be part of the adventure. New Business Lynn will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 54 years, Donna (Woodruff), his sons, his daughters, his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and many other family members and friends. A private family ceremony will be held at the Brady Community Church.&nbsp; Memorials in lieu of flowers to Brady Community Church or Brady Rescue&nbsp;unit.&nbsp; Online condolences may be shared at odeanchapel.com. Now, Lynn will be helping the Lord's contractors build something amazing&nbsp;or run some really important meeting more efficiently up in Heaven. Until we see each other again, our meeting here on earth...is now adjourned! Odean Colonial Chapel at C &amp; Sycamore is in charge of arrangements.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Tickle in 1999; his grandparents, Howard &amp; Opal Tickle and Fred &amp; Hazel Knotwell; two aunts and their spouses and 2 uncles; his in-laws, Ike Snider and Rhonda Becker. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Troy is survived by his wife, Karen of North Platte, NE; three children, Drew Tickle, Sutton Tickle and Jenna (Michael) Merrill; his parents, Jerry &amp; Freddie Tickle of Cozad, NE; a nephew, Trey Tickle; brother-in-law, Clint (Brianne) Snider and their children Ashtyn, Bryson and Braiton; sister-in-law, Justina (Jackson) Johnson and their daughter, Lincoln; along with many other relatives and dear friends. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to St. Patrick's Catholic Church of North Platte or North Platte Catholic Schools Endowment. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Mass of Christian Burial will be Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in North Platte, Nebraska with Father Jim Golka as Celebrant.&nbsp; Burial will be at 2:00 p.m. at the Cozad Cemetery in Cozad, Nebraska.&nbsp; The service will be live-streamed on St. Patrick's Catholic Church of North Platte's Facebook page. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Visitation with the family present will be on Monday, January 25, 2021 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in North Platte.&nbsp; Rosary will be recited by Deacon Matt Irish at 7:00 p.m.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Masks are required at the church. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

Franklin Oman  (1921-2021)

The family of Steven Duane Bixler, of Palisade, Nebraska, is saddened to announce his passing on January 14, 2021 at age 61. He was born in McCook, Nebraska on September 18, 1959 to Duane and Darlene (Wilson) Bixler. Steve attended and graduated from Hayes Center High School in 1977. He was a talented athlete and succeeded in football, baseball, basketball, and track and field. He held the high school high jump record at HCHS for over 40 years.

Steve started his love for sports as a young boy by playing baseball. He was also a Boy Scout, where he learned many things that helped shape him into the man he was. He could fix anything, build anything, and grow anything. Steve was very active in the upkeep of the Bixler Farm where he and his sisters were raised.

He could cook or BBQ better than most. He loved being outdoors. Whether he was fixing the lawn mower, the pickup or the furnace, playing sports, doing chores or taking care of the animals - he would be outside any chance he got. With the slim chance you'd see him inside, he would be throwing in a load of laundry, doing the dishes or being dressed up as a girl by his sisters when he was little - poor guy!

Steve then went on to attend Doane college and there played football for 2 years. After that, he transferred to Chadron State College where he continued his athletic career for another year.

Steve was blessed with three children, Kaeli, Karyn, and Cole. Steve enjoyed fishing, hunting with his children and grandchildren, and spending time with his family. He was very involved in their athletic careers. Steve loved coaching his children. His favorite part was never sitting in the stands, but always standing close by to be a part of the action. Steve also cherished every moment he spent with his three grandchildren making wonderful memories.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents and parents, Duane and Darlene Bixler. 

Those left to celebrate his life include daughters, Kaeli (Curtis) Cole of Omaha, NE; Karyn Bixler of Denver, CO; son Cole Bixler of Greensboro, NC; three grandchildren: Joseph, Oakleigh and Lincoln Cole; two sisters Beckey Young of Honolulu, HI; &amp; Dorinda Bixler of Vancouver, British Columbia; and a wealth of extended family, neighbors and friends.

His children are left with many special memories of their father, the most recent was spending this past Christmas with him. Steve celebrated with his children and grandchildren creating memories that will never be forgotten.

Steve will always be known as a man of many talents. He spent his entire life refining his career in carpentry becoming the perfect example of the “Steve of all Trades!” We will remember Steve for the unconditional love and support he had for his family and friends as well as his constant ability to take care of people!

Steve chose cremation and a “Celebration of Life” with family and friends will be planned for a future date. The family requests any memories and/or donations to help with expenses, be directed to his children, c/o Karyn Bixler, 1920 17th Street, Apt 704 Denver, CO 80202.
