She entered this world April 26th, 1951 at Lexington, Nebraska to Paul “Bub” and Geraldine (Robinson) Helmuth.

She grew up on Redfern Table, south of Callaway, Nebraska and attended District 113 school through 8th&nbsp;grade. She then attended the Ag High School in Curtis, Nebraska for 1 year then transferred to Lexington High school, which she attended thru graduation in 1969.

Cheryll was a 4-H member of the Redfern Rebels through her youth.&nbsp; Participating in both beef and horse shows.&nbsp; She also competed in rodeos, doing the pole bending even on her palomino, “Jimmy Gold.”

Cheryll’s 1st&nbsp;job off the farm was the Lexington Livestock market, moving cattle to and from the pens and sale ring.&nbsp; This she did while in high school.&nbsp; She worked at the Snack Shack in Callaway for her mother-in-law in her early married days.&nbsp; She was a secretary of Arnold schools for several years, then went to work at the Good Sam Care Center in Callaway as office manager and bookkeeper. Her last job off the farm was Hilltop Estates in Gothenburg.&nbsp; Even though she spent many hours a day off the farm, her chores, animals, gardening, and farm work were her daily passion.

Cheryll was proud to be a farmgirl all her life.&nbsp; She was a jack of all trades on the farm.&nbsp; A skill she proudly passed on to her only granddaughter, Devin.

Cheryll was a second mother to her younger brother, Mitch, who was 11 years younger.&nbsp; She was her dad’s right-hand man, which prepared her for life on the farm.

In 1969, Cheryll married Loren D. Peterson and lived in Callaway, Redfern Table, and Sumner before moving to Arnold to farm in 1973.&nbsp; In 1982, they moved to Powell Canyon Ranch where she lived until her death.

To this union, two sons were born.&nbsp; James and Cory.&nbsp; They were the loves of her life.

Her most recent job was the manager of Hidden Valley Campground, where she was fondly known as “The Sherriff.”

Cheryll loved to watch her sons, later her grandkids, nieces and nephews participate in school activities. She also enjoyed Cory’s rodeo days, camping, caring for her farm animals, major league baseball, especially the New York Mets and Washington Nationals. In her younger days, she hunted deer.&nbsp; Loved sunrises, especially at the ranch, full moons, country music, flowers, and the beach.&nbsp; Sunsets on the beach and the pelicans were her favorite and she traveled to Florida as often as she could to enjoy them.

She loved all things Disney, but her trips to Walt Disney World with her sister, family, and friends were the high pointe of her Florida vacations.&nbsp; She visited so many times, in fact, she had lost count of the number.

If you needed tools or parts or anything, Cheryll was your go to girl. Farm, livestock, house, or garden, she had what you needed or knew where to find it.

Mama Cheryll was a no-nonsense kind of girl and could bring you to your senses with one look over her glasses or a tap of her cane if you were misbehaving.

Cheryll was preceded in death but her parents.&nbsp; She is survived by her husband, Loren D. of Arnold, sons: James of Central City, Cory (Mindy) of Arnold, grandchildren, Brandon of Lincoln, Josh of Fort Collins, CO, Logan and Devin of Arnold, Sister Jeanne Malcom (Jim Metzger) of Cozad, brother Mitch Helmuth of Cozad, numerous nieces, nephews, grand-dogs and friends. Cheryll will be missed but never forgotten

Loyce DeNell Rotman was born on October 11, 1928 on a farm in Webster Township, Smith County, Kansas, northeast of Portis, Kansas, and passed away on December 14, 2020 at Stone Hearth Estates in Gothenburg, Nebraska. She was the&nbsp; daughter of Alvy Dell and Nellie Melvina (Atwood) Hayes.&nbsp; She attended a country school in the area known as Barefoot Nation.&nbsp; In 1946 she graduated from Lebanon high School in Lebanon, Kansas.

For a short time she worked at Richardson Manufacturing Plant at Cawker City, Kansas, and also helped her parents with the farm operations.

One of her pastimes was roller skating which she really enjoyed. It was at a skating rink that she met her future husband, Albert

On January 29, 1948 she was united in marriage to Albert E Rotman at the Dispatch Christian Reformed Church parsonage by Reverend Richard R DeRidder the pastor of the church.&nbsp; To this union one son was born, Daryl Lee Rotman, on March 7, 1950.&nbsp;&nbsp;

In 1945 she became a member of the Oak Creek Christian Church south of Lebanon, Kansas and after her marriage she transferred her membership to the Dispatch Christian Reformed Church of rural Cawker City, Kansas where her husband was a member.

In 1958 the family moved close to Dispatch, Kansas, the place where her husband was born and changed their farming operations to more livestock and less grain.

Because of conditions that effected the farm operations in 1968 Albert and Loyce had a farm sale and sold all their farm equipment and moved to Cozad, Nebraska.&nbsp; After moving there she worked for Tenneco Automotive until she retired after 21 years.&nbsp; At that time she and her husband Albert started to travel with their pickup and 5th wheel trailer. They put many miles traveling through the United States.&nbsp; Their favorite trip was a 6 week excursion to Alaska. Loyce had a interest in genealogy so many of their travels were to include places like the North eastern states, North Carolina, Kentucky, Michigan and Iowa where she would explore her and her husband’s family linage.&nbsp; She created 2 large volumes that traces parts of her family back to the 1600.

In her pastime Loyce learned to knit and crochet, and she crocheted table cloths and also a large picture of the Last Supper along with many small articles that she gave as gifts to friends and family. She crocheted numerous blankets that she gave to family and friends. A similar pastime was knitting.&nbsp; She made many sweaters for her family members. Another skill that she learned from her mother was quilting and after retirement Loyce enjoyed quilting with her neighbors and friends.

She was proceeded in death by her husband Albert, parents Alvy and Nellie Hayes, her daughter-in-law Betty, her brother Loyd and his wife Verian Hayes and her sister Loretta and her husband, Dale Flynn

She is survived by her son Daryl Lee of Longmont, Co.&nbsp; Her two grandchildren Kristina Radell and husband Toby Logsdon of Lynwood, Washington and Ashley Paul and wife Amy Rotman of Broomfield, Colorado. She had four great Grand Children Kaleb and Madisyn Logsdon of Lynwood, Washington and Alyson and Ava Rotman of Broomfield, Colorado, and many nephews and niece.

Visitation: Thursday, December 17, 2020, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM, Blase Strauser Memorial Chapel, Gothenburg, NE.&nbsp; Masks are required and all CDC guidelines and current DHM'S will be followed.

Loyce DeNell Rotman  (1928-2020)

Duane William Rasby, age 86, of Sutherland, NE, had his life's journey end in the early morning hours of Tuesday, December 15, 2020. Duane was born on March 1, 1934 in Trenton, NE, to Adam and Siddie (Beattie) Rasby. Duane's parents farmed north of Trenton before moving back to Adam's hometown of Sutton, NE in 1935, where his family owned the sale barn. Duane was constantly at his father's side. He learned at a young age how to bargain for the best deal and that "only a fool would ever pay full price." Duane enjoyed his high school years at Sutton High.&nbsp; Being fleet of foot brought him state track championship hardware in the Class B mile run. He was also a sharp shooting guard for the Sutton Mustangs basketball team. Rumor has it he couldn't see the basket most of the time, as he didn't wear his glasses, but that never stopped him from attempting to put the ball in the hoop. Duane also played baseball in Lexington during his high school summers and met some lifelong friends. His hometown of Sutton was also the home of his high school sweetheart, Joan Leininger. Duane had a lot of trouble getting Joan out on a date as he had to get permission not only from her father but also from her four older brothers. Duane said he always had his eye on that Leininger girl, "but she sure talks a lot!" Duane's persistence paid off as he and Joan were united in marriage on August 28, 1954, which was a blistering hot summer morning at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Sutton. Duane held up quite well during the ceremony but many of the wedding party fainted and were carried out! The couple moved to North Platte, NE where Duane hired onto the Union Pacific Railroad. This job took his family to many towns along the railroad line in Nebraska from Gothenburg, to Kearney, out to Sidney and then back to North Platte.&nbsp; His career spanned nearly 45 years. Knowing they wanted to raise their family in a small community, Duane and Joan settled in Sutherland. They bought a farm just outside the city limits where they farmed, raised cattle and, most importantly, seven children. Working hard on the railroad at night and farming by day never kept Duane from being an active member of his community, church and school. He was proud of his time spent on the school board and was a founding member of the Sutherland Booster Club. Duane taught Religious Ed and could say a Hail Mary faster than any person alive! He was secretary of the UPRR Old Timer's Club, a member of the Knights of Columbus, a Cub Scout leader and a baseball coach. Duane's vast knowledge of sports had him giving a good amount of advice to any sport official within earshot. The Rasby family was involved in 4-H for many years and Duane had an eye for picking a champion calf. He spent summers traveling with his kids to different shows around the state. When the nest emptied, Duane and Joan loved hopping on the train for the annual Old Timer's Railroad conventions and enjoyed county fair and Nebraskaland Days concerts.&nbsp; Once the grandchildren came along, that meant even more events to follow, keeping him busy.&nbsp; The 4th of July rodeo in Sutherland became the annual Rasby family reunion. Duane is preceded in death by his parents, Adam and Siddie Rasby; his sister, Bernadyne (Fritz) Schwab; brother, Jim (Mildred) Rasby; father and mother-in-law, Fred and Etta Leininger; brothers and sisters-in-law, Marge (Oscar) Rodgers, Lynn Leininger, Gene (Donna) Leininger, Max Leininger, Kenny Leininger, Leo Leininger and Jacqueline Oschner; and grandson, Justin Ryan Rasby. Duane is survived by his wife of 66 years, Joan, of Sutherland; sons, Randall (Janie) Rasby of Sutherland, Richard (Tammy) Rasby of Lincoln, Daniel (Molly) Rasby of Rapid City, SD, and David Rasby of Denver, CO; daughters, Michele (Tod) McKeone of Lexington, Mindi (Darin) Gansebom of Bennington and Jacqueline (Rick) Smith of Columbus; as well as many nieces and nephews, 30 grandchildren and 20 great grandchildren. Services will be held at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Sutherland.&nbsp; Visitation with family present will be at the church on Friday from 5-7 p.m. with a Rosary Service to follow. Sadly, with COVID, Duane's funeral mass is for family only. Mass of Christian Burial will be 10 a.m., Saturday, December 19, 2020.&nbsp; Mass will be recorded and posted to odeanchapel.com. Burial will be in Riverview Cemetery. Visitation will be Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Odean Colonial Chapel at C &amp; Sycamore, which is in charge of arrangements.&nbsp; Online condolences may be shared at odeanchapel.com.&nbsp; In lieu of flowers, memorials are to the family for a future scholarship to a Sutherland High School graduate.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Judy Ann Saner  (1948-2020)

William Hopkinson, age 94, died December 11, 2020, at Great Plains Health in North Platte, Nebraska.

Bill was born June 18, 1926, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, the son of Frank Hopkinson and Anne Hunneybell. Frank and Anne had 7 children together and Bill was the caboose (a fitting title for a man who became a railroader).

He married Doris Cooper April 27, 1946, in Winnipeg and they had 5 children together, Audrey Irene, Bernice Audrey, Wayne David, Sylvia Edith and Ronald William. In February 1957 Dad moved the family from Winnipeg to Salt Lake City, Utah. He and Doris divorced in 1971.

In Spring of '71, Hoppy married Pauline Wright in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pauline passed away July 4, 1980, in Des Moines, Iowa. He later married Dorothy McGuan August 7, 1981, in North Platte where he was living. Dorothy passed away May 7, 2014, in Kearney, Nebraska.

Hoppy had a lifelong love of trains. He worked for 4 different railroads, starting as a machinist apprentice with Canadian National Railway in 1943. He later worked for Great Northern, Denver Rio Grande and ended his career with the Union Pacific Railroad, where he retired in August 1986 as Senior Training Officer. Hoppy LOVED railroading!!

Dad also had a love for Mothers Oatmeal Cookies, butterscotch candy, licorice, playing jokes, tickling, playing cards, traveling, camping, genealogy, taking pictures and chasing trains. He could fix anything, make anything and repair everything!!! What is the definition of Dad? He was everything.

Dad is survived by his brother, Jack Hopkinson of Canada; his children, Bernice (Lucky) Young of West Valley, Utah, Wayne (Kristine) Hopkinson of North Platte, Nebraska, and Sylvia Hopkinson of St. George, Utah; stepchildren, Roberta (Stephen) Dircksen of Hermiston, Oregon, Mary (Steven) Rinaldi of West Valley, Utah, Pauline (Maurie) Baker of Lehi, Utah, Barbara Gregory of Hermiston, Oregon, Kathleen (Mike) Smith of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Thomas (Patti) Salyard of Columbus Nebraska, Patrick (Tracy) Salyard of Florida, Theresa (Douglas) Wadkins of Lexington, Nebraska, and Ann Callow of Overland Park, Kansas; 27 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and 4 great great-grandchildren; as well as many other family members.
