Juanita 'Jennie" Garvin  (1934-2020)

Ian Miles Nichelson, age 33, of North Platte, Nebraska went to his heavenly home on October 26, 2020 at Great Plains Health in North Platte.&nbsp; Ian was born on January 27, 1987 at Great Plains Health.&nbsp; He was baptized at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in North Platte.&nbsp; He attended St. Patrick's Catholic School and North Platte Public Schools, graduating with the Class of 2005.

During his high school years, he worked part-time at Arby’s for his Aunt Dort.&nbsp; He learned from her at a young age what hard work was. After graduation he worked at Menards for a while then he moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado to do tile work for a man he met while working at Arby’s. He had told that man that he wanted to work for him 3 years prior. When he finished school, he contacted him. He worked for Tile Kings for 2 years, traveling to many places doing tile jobs, many of them at Starbucks. He got to go to Lake Tahoe, Mt. Rushmore, many places in Colorado and Nebraska. He moved back to Nebraska a couple years later and did tile work on the side, on his own after learning the trade. He did many beautiful floors, kitchens and bathrooms. He was so proud of his work. He then went to work for the City of North Platte with the Sanitation Department. He had some wonderful times working with the men on those crews. His love for people’s back yards, gardens, kids and pets were things he talked about every day and every season. One time he said that someone called in to report a dead bird flopping around. He remembers his boss asked “what kind of bird is it?” A pterodactyl or what?” One of the funniest stories every. He worked for the city of about 8 years. He made a best friend while working there in Chris Werkmeister. In 2015 he quit the city to start his own business “Early Bird &amp; Second Mouse” putting the Old McDaid School Boiler together after it was dismantled, making a huge smoker. He had it built to his specifications, put it on a huge flat bed trailer and started cooking many, many smoked meats, turkeys and cheeses. He won the Honky Tonk BBQ 2 years in a row along with many other awards. He could season meats the way no one else could. He did many events, weddings, graduations and family meals. He was perfect in his job, not matter what he cooked. He loved seeing the looks on peoples faces when he saw them eat his cooking. His trait was homemade breakfast burritos which he has made this whole time. He also smoked cheese, olives, jalapenos &amp; chocolate covered strawberries. He had a gift in cooking for so many.

He also had a love for music. Any of his friends will tell you that. He loved Sally Erna’s letter that said “Have you ever sat &amp; thought what life would be like without music?” He had a list of his top songs, sadly, it has ended now with #410.&nbsp;&nbsp; He played guitar, teaching himself. His passion for music was like no one we have ever known. He put a speaker in the backyard and always turned it up loud when he was outside.

Ian also loved to draw. He won awards for his art and could see things in his drawings that no one else could. He was precise and very detailed in his beautiful art work.

Besides the work, the music, the art, he loved football. So many of his pictures has him and football. Since he was very young, he loved Husker football. Attending his first tailgate at about age 3 with his Uncle Francis in Lincoln, Nebraska. He played every recess in school with his classmates. We had a family get-to-gether’s in August &amp; guess what?? We all threw that footfall. His best friend &amp; “other brother”, Nathan Epley, threw countless football passes. He loved the Raiders, with the Patriots a close 2nd, but Nebraska was his favorite. He had to have every football card ever printed when he was younger. A fortune spent on football cards. When Ian was little, he had a passion for animals and creepy things too, like snakes! Our neighborhood still has an abundance of snakes because of him. He also loved to fish and to camp. He once saved a baby possum by taking it to the river because he didn’t want it to die. He loved birds, along with his cat Bobby, who passed away this summer. Then he got really close to the other cat Spirit, who never used to like him. Lover of nature, wildlife and pets for sure. All started at a young age. He loved nurturing &amp; especially taking care of our earth, too, always recycling anything.

Besides all these passions in a short life, his love for his family was the biggest. He never missed a family event in all of his 33 years, sometime hating for birthdays, holidays, weddings, Czech Days, football games, concerts and anything else to end. He had a unique &amp; robust passion for life. He never was negative. Always listening, always happy, always kind, always a good helper, and always a joy to have around. No one could ask of anyone better, ever. A life of love &amp; a passion that only God could give to him to show how to live it. He loved God. He didn’t talk about it much, but he always believed in God &amp; knew he was here.

Ian was preceded in death by his grandparents, Wesley &amp; Opal Pecenka, Donald &amp; Bessie Nichelson, his Aunt Dorothea &amp; his Uncle Pete.

Left to cherish his life are his parents, Gary and DiAnn of North Platte; Aunt JoJo Jensen &amp; Uncle Cory of North Platte, Uncle Francis &amp; Aunt Dawn, Lincoln, NE, Uncle Michael &amp; Aunt Cindy, Hendersonville, TN, Uncle Mark &amp; Aunt Sharon, North Platte, Aunt Linda, North Platte.

 </figure>Ian Miles Nichelson, age 33, of North Platte, Nebraska went to his heavenly home on October 26, 2020 at Great Plains Health in North Platte.&nbsp; Ian was born on January 27, 1987 at Great Plains Health.&nbsp; He was baptized at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in North Platte.&nbsp; He attended St. Patrick's Catholic School and North Platte Public Schools, graduating with the Class of 2005.During his high school years, he worked part-time at Arby’s for his Aunt Dort.&nbsp; He learned from her at a young age what hard work was. After graduation he worked at Menards for a while then he moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado to do tile work for a man he met while working at Arby’s. He had told that man that he wanted to work for him 3 years prior. When he finished school, he contacted him. He worked for Tile Kings for 2 years, traveling to many places doing tile jobs, many of them at Starbucks. He got to go to Lake Tahoe, Mt. Rushmore, many places in Colorado and Nebraska. He moved back to Nebraska a couple years later and did tile work on the side, on his own after learning the trade. He did many beautiful floors, kitchens and bathrooms. He was so proud of his work. He then went to work for the City of North Platte with the Sanitation Department. He had some wonderful times working with the men on those crews. His love for people’s back yards, gardens, kids and pets were things he talked about every day and every season. One time he said that someone called in to report a dead bird flopping around. He remembers his boss asked “what kind of bird is it?” A pterodactyl or what?” One of the funniest stories every. He worked for the city of about 8 years. He made a best friend while working there in Chris Werkmeister. In 2015 he quit the city to start his own business “Early Bird &amp; Second Mouse” putting the Old McDaid School Boiler together after it was dismantled, making a huge smoker. He had it built to his specifications, put it on a huge flat bed trailer and started cooking many, many smoked meats, turkeys and cheeses. He won the Honky Tonk BBQ 2 years in a row along with many other awards. He could season meats the way no one else could. He did many events, weddings, graduations and family meals. He was perfect in his job, not matter what he cooked. He loved seeing the looks on peoples faces when he saw them eat his cooking. His trait was homemade breakfast burritos which he has made this whole time. He also smoked cheese, olives, jalapenos &amp; chocolate covered strawberries. He had a gift in cooking for so many.He also had a love for music. Any of his friends will tell you that. He loved Sally Erna’s letter that said “Have you ever sat &amp; thought what life would be like without music?” He had a list of his top songs, sadly, it has ended now with #410.&nbsp;&nbsp; He played guitar, teaching himself. His passion for music was like no one we have ever known. He put a speaker in the backyard and always turned it up loud when he was outside.Ian also loved to draw. He won awards for his art and could see things in his drawings that no one else could. He was precise and very detailed in his beautiful art work.Besides the work, the music, the art, he loved football. So many of his pictures has him and football. Since he was very young, he loved Husker football. Attending his first tailgate at about age 3 with his Uncle Francis in Lincoln, Nebraska. He played every recess in school with his classmates. We had a family get-to-gether’s in August &amp; guess what?? We all threw that footfall. His best friend &amp; “other brother”, Nathan Epley, threw countless football passes. He loved the Raiders, with the Patriots a close 2nd, but Nebraska was his favorite. He had to have every football card ever printed when he was younger. A fortune spent on football cards. When Ian was little, he had a passion for animals and creepy things too, like snakes! Our neighborhood still has an abundance of snakes because of him. He also loved to fish and to camp. He once saved a baby possum by taking it to the river because he didn’t want it to die. He loved birds, along with his cat Bobby, who passed away this summer. Then he got really close to the other cat Spirit, who never used to like him. Lover of nature, wildlife and pets for sure. All started at a young age. He loved nurturing &amp; especially taking care of our earth, too, always recycling anything.Besides all these passions in a short life, his love for his family was the biggest. He never missed a family event in all of his 33 years, sometime hating for birthdays, holidays, weddings, Czech Days, football games, concerts and anything else to end. He had a unique &amp; robust passion for life. He never was negative. Always listening, always happy, always kind, always a good helper, and always a joy to have around. No one could ask of anyone better, ever. A life of love &amp; a passion that only God could give to him to show how to live it. He loved God. He didn’t talk about it much, but he always believed in God &amp; knew he was here.Ian was preceded in death by his grandparents, Wesley &amp; Opal Pecenka, Donald &amp; Bessie Nichelson, his Aunt Dorothea &amp; his Uncle Pete.Left to cherish his life are his parents, Gary and DiAnn of North Platte; Aunt JoJo Jensen &amp; Uncle Cory of North Platte, Uncle Francis &amp; Aunt Dawn, Lincoln, NE, Uncle Michael &amp; Aunt Cindy, Hendersonville, TN, Uncle Mark &amp; Aunt Sharon, North Platte, Aunt Linda, North Platte.

Mary and Keith did everything together, whether it be working on the farm, in the garden, building rocking horses, and fishing. They did it together. In 1998 Mary and Keith retired to the small town life of Wauneta. They spent their first year renovating the house they purchased that was close to downtown. Mary found that being idle was something that didn’t suit her well, so for the next several years she served as the cook for the Wauneta Senior Center that was conveniently located across the alley from home. She enjoyed the wonderful people she got to spend time with, and spoke fondly of her years there. In December of 2015, Mary and Keith celebrated 60 years of marriage with their friends and families in Wauneta. In 2019, Mary moved to North Platte, Nebraska to be closer to family. She was living at North Platte Care Center where she was cared for by the wonderful staff who loved her ornery sense of humor, and the social time she spent with them at the front desk.

On May 4, 2020, Cynthia Annette Egle Nicholson, of North Platte, Nebraska passed away due to complications relating to cancer at the age of 73.&nbsp; Cindy’s cancer diagnosis came only a month earlier; her sudden passing was a heartbreaking shock to family and friends alike.

Cindy was born June 24, 1946, to Virgil and Grace Mae (Rasmussen) Egle in North Platte, Nebraska. Coincidentally, she was born the same day as her mother, a lifelong gift to both.

Growing up, Cindy was highly involved within the North Platte community and was an outstanding toe dancer. She graduated from North Platte High School in 1964. Cindy enjoyed her high school days and always spoke of the Bulldog pep rallies and migrations for high school football. Cindy’s school spirit continued to grow at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where she graduated in 1968. She was a member of the Nebraska "tassels" (the equivalent of a modern-day cheerleading/spirt squad) and became a diehard Nebraska Cornhusker.

After graduating from college, Cindy moved to Colorado to begin her career as an educator. Cindy devoted over 30 years of her life to Jefferson County Public Schools in the Denver Metro Area. During this time Cindy also completed her Master’s degree at the University of Colorado-Boulder.

On June 29, 1985, at the First Christian Church in North Platte, Cindy married Greg Johns Nicholson of Iowa. She later gave birth to their only child, Thomas, in 1988.

At the time of her death, Thomas stated, "My mother knew my fears, my joys, my aspirations…but perhaps, most important of all, she knew how to make me smile." I will cherish every memory in my mind, my soul, and my heart. She was my best friend, and the greatest mother a son could ever have.

A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m., Friday, November 6, 2020, at the First Christian Church in North Platte, Nebraska. Face coverings are required in the church.&nbsp; Inurnment will follow in the North Platte Cemetery. Online condolences may be shared at odeanchapel.com. Odean Colonial Chapel at C &amp; Sycamore is in charge of arrangements.

Memorials in Cindy’s name can be made to the family for later designation (c/o Marty Bolton, PO Box 52, Lewellen, NE 69147).

Holechek-Bondegard Funeral Home and Cremations in Oshkosh, Nebraska is serving the Bolton family.

Cindy was born in Kimball, Nebraska, to Ardis (Newman) and Jerry Babl on Friday, February 19, 1960. As the baby of the family, she was welcomed home by older siblings Diana, Deb, and Mike. She lived in Kimball until the 7th grade when her family relocated to Ogallala, Nebraska. There she met her lifelong friends Pam, Jeannie, Karen, and Sheila. She graduated from Ogallala High School in 1978, and she and her friends would continue to live life to the fullest building their futures and families. Cindy met the love of her life, Marty, at MacDougals Bar at Lake McConaughy near Ogallala, Nebraska where she asked him to dance but he was busy bartending. A couple weeks later they crossed paths down by the Dam at the lake where Cindy flagged him down and Marty made his move. The rest is history. They married on April 10, 1982 and resided in the Ogallala area until permanently making their home in Lewellen in 1989. They raised their two daughters, Chelsey and Jessie, or “princesses”, as Cindy would say, and enjoyed the life they made. They filled their time with school and sporting events, family vacations, camping trips, and making memories.

Cindy began her fulfilling career in education in 1992, working in the Lewellen School Systems and later the Garden County School Systems. She became a paraeducator, spending much of her time dedicated to special education. She made an impact in the lives of countless students and families over her 28-year career. Although she enjoyed her career, her favorite titles were wife, mom, and Mimi. She poured her heart and soul into her family and was the sole shoe buyer for her grandbabies. She could never rest for long, always visiting her friends and family, starting a new house project, canning salsa and garden tomatoes, or finding a way to help in her beloved community.&nbsp;

Cindy was diagnosed with Stage IIIC primary peritoneal cancer, a form of ovarian cancer, on October 25, 2013. While this diagnosis was grave, she never took her fighting gloves off and lived these last 7 years with a positive determination, dignity, and grit. She used every opportunity to educate women and bring awareness about ovarian cancer. She brought joy and laughter to countless healthcare providers and fellow cancer patients, always making a new friend at the doctors’ offices or in the hallways during her hospitalizations. Cindy found great meaning in human connection.&nbsp;

Cindy is survived by her husband of over 38 years, Marty Bolton of Lewellen, Nebraska; 2 daughters and their families, Chelsey and Jamie Kennedy and children Olivia (10) and Connor (8) of Grand Island, Nebraska and Jessie and Austen Godbersen and children Arlo (4) and Everitt (1) of Wisner, Nebraska; mother Ardis Babl-Smith of Ogallala, Nebraska; siblings Diana (Duncan) Hevenor, Deb Kolste, and Mike Babl and their families; chosen sisters Pam Collins, Jeannie Reimers, Karen Peratt, and Sheila Clouse and their families; and several extended family and friends.&nbsp;

Cindy was preceded in death by her brother-in-law Dr. Rex Kolste and her father, Gerard “Jerry” Babl who welcomed her into her everlasting life. While friends and family will deeply miss the physical presence of Cindy, the impact she made during her years here on earth will continue to ripple forever.

Cynthia "Cindy" Loree Bolton  (1960-2020)

Don Earl Hollenbeck was born August 13, 1935, to Beryl &amp; Cathern Hollenbeck in Ainsworth, Nebraska. He was raised on his family’s ranch southwest of Bassett, Nebraska. Don attended a one room schoolhouse for his grade school education and graduated from Rock County High School in 1953. Don was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1958. He received his basic training at Ft. Carson, Colorado and then was stationed in Hawaii for 2 years before being honorably discharged in 1960. Don earned the sharpshooter badge. Don and Sharilyn Sharp were united in marriage on August 27, 1960, in Johnstown, Nebraska. To this union two sons were born, Wayne and Mart. Don and Sharilyn continued to live on the ranch until 1995 when they moved to Long Pine, Nebraska. In Don’s younger years, he belonged to the Bassett American Legion baseball team and would always say with the arrival of a new grandkid, “You know, a left handed kiddo would make a great pitcher!” Don was also a member of the Long Pine Roping Club where they competed in several local towns. Among his many passions were flying his Piper J-3 Cub airplane to check pastures &amp; flying in to pick up the boys from school when the snow was too deep. He enjoyed raising the best greyhounds and having the ability to know his cattle without the aid of an ear tag. Don was a very proud dad and grandad, there were very few sporting events that his boys and grandkids were competing in that he did not attend. He was a very caring and giving man to all of them. Don especially loved Christmas time when we would all sit down and play cards. It was no surprise that he would bid 10 on a 4 hand and make it! He loved his sports and took deep pride in helping Hollenbeck Rodeo Co. Don passed down his enthusiasm for ranching to his two sons and grandson. Don passed away on October 17, 2020, at the Rock County Hospital Long Term Care in Bassett, Nebraska.

Don was preceded in death by his parents, Beryl and Cathern Hollenbeck and brother Gary Hollenbeck. He is survived by his wife, Sharilyn of 60 years; sons Wayne (Jackie) Hollenbeck and Mart (Dee) Hollenbeck both of Bassett, Nebraska. Four grandchildren: Fallon (Brent) Woods of Tripp, South Dakota; Brooke (Pat) Riha of Stuart, Nebraska; Chase (Melissa) Hollenbeck of Bassett, Nebraska and KayCee Hollenbeck and Rob Parker of Bassett, Nebraska. Nine great grandchildren, sister, Donna(Frank) Guilfoil of Lincoln, California; sisters-in-law, Carol Hollenbeck of Bassett, Nebraska, Sherri Sharp and husband Bill Stevenson of Rapid City, South Dakota; Shirley (Oliver) Painter of Rapid City, South Dakota, and several nieces and nephews.

 </figure>Don Earl Hollenbeck was born August 13, 1935, to Beryl &amp; Cathern Hollenbeck in Ainsworth, Nebraska. He was raised on his family’s ranch southwest of Bassett, Nebraska. Don attended a one room schoolhouse for his grade school education and graduated from Rock County High School in 1953. Don was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1958. He received his basic training at Ft. Carson, Colorado and then was stationed in Hawaii for 2 years before being honorably discharged in 1960. Don earned the sharpshooter badge. Don and Sharilyn Sharp were united in marriage on August 27, 1960, in Johnstown, Nebraska. To this union two sons were born, Wayne and Mart. Don and Sharilyn continued to live on the ranch until 1995 when they moved to Long Pine, Nebraska. In Don’s younger years, he belonged to the Bassett American Legion baseball team and would always say with the arrival of a new grandkid, “You know, a left handed kiddo would make a great pitcher!” Don was also a member of the Long Pine Roping Club where they competed in several local towns. Among his many passions were flying his Piper J-3 Cub airplane to check pastures &amp; flying in to pick up the boys from school when the snow was too deep. He enjoyed raising the best greyhounds and having the ability to know his cattle without the aid of an ear tag. Don was a very proud dad and grandad, there were very few sporting events that his boys and grandkids were competing in that he did not attend. He was a very caring and giving man to all of them. Don especially loved Christmas time when we would all sit down and play cards. It was no surprise that he would bid 10 on a 4 hand and make it! He loved his sports and took deep pride in helping Hollenbeck Rodeo Co. Don passed down his enthusiasm for ranching to his two sons and grandson. Don passed away on October 17, 2020, at the Rock County Hospital Long Term Care in Bassett, Nebraska. Don was preceded in death by his parents, Beryl and Cathern Hollenbeck and brother Gary Hollenbeck. He is survived by his wife, Sharilyn of 60 years; sons Wayne (Jackie) Hollenbeck and Mart (Dee) Hollenbeck both of Bassett, Nebraska. Four grandchildren: Fallon (Brent) Woods of Tripp, South Dakota; Brooke (Pat) Riha of Stuart, Nebraska; Chase (Melissa) Hollenbeck of Bassett, Nebraska and KayCee Hollenbeck and Rob Parker of Bassett, Nebraska. Nine great grandchildren, sister, Donna(Frank) Guilfoil of Lincoln, California; sisters-in-law, Carol Hollenbeck of Bassett, Nebraska, Sherri Sharp and husband Bill Stevenson of Rapid City, South Dakota; Shirley (Oliver) Painter of Rapid City, South Dakota, and several nieces and nephews.

Mr. Don Earl Hollenbeck  (1935-2020)

Cheryl Sue (White) Roblyer of Burwell, Nebraska passed away peacefully and surrounded by&nbsp;family on October 20, 2020, after a short bout with cancer. Her generous, loving, sweet and good-natured spirit will live on in the hearts of everyone who had the pleasure to know her.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Kenneth and Lillian Leibert White, brother Gary White Sr., sister Diane VanHouten, and brother Billy White.

She is survived by her husband, Jim, son Jason (Stacie) of Burwell, Nebraska; granddaughter Madison Roblyer (Hunter Bosard) of Colorado Springs, Colorado; daughter Jill Kostman (Rory), and grandson Killian of Cozad, Nebraska; granddaughter Jessamyn Johnson (Colby) of Ogallala, Nebraska and great-niece and favorite child, Jaylee Shaner of Hershey, Nebraska. She is also survived by brothers Danny (Karen) White of Sargent, Nebraska, Keith White of Columbus, Nebraska, Robert (Sharon) White of Kearney, Nebraska, Ronald (Suzi) White of Franklin, New Hampshire, Bradley White of Sargent, Nebraska, and Jerry White of Ord, Nebraska and a sister Rhonda (Dennis) Peterson of Burwell, Nebraska; as well as many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, close family friends and “adopted” family.

Cheryl Sue White was born the fifth oldest of eleven children on July 28, 1948 in Sargent, Nebraska to Kenneth Orville White and Lillian Mae Leibert. She attended school in Sargent and graduated in 1968.

Cheryl married Jim Roblyer at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Burwell on November 30, 1968. Jim left to serve in the Navy during Vietnam shortly after their wedding, and Cheryl lived in Lincoln, Nebraska and attended hair school in his absence. In May 1971, they made their home in North Platte, Nebraska where they lived until 2015.

Cheryl wore many hats during the time she and Jim lived in North Platte, and after their retirement and move to Burwell in 2015. She worked most recently as the Executive Secretary of the North Platte Public Library where she served the public for 33 years before retiring. She worked at the Taylor Public Library from 2015 until September of 2020, as well. She served on the Republican Valley Library Board for many years, and served on the State Board for the Blind and Handicapped for 12 years. She and Jim were members of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in North Platte, where Cheryl served on the Board of Finance. After moving to Burwell, they continued to worship at St. John’s Lutheran Church. Cheryl was a prayer chain member and a prayer warrior with both fellowships.

Cheryl loved music, especially The Beach Boys and The Bee Gees, and shared her love of music with her children and grandchildren. Her children never knew a time when she didn’t have music on in the house. On one particular road trip with her granddaughters and great-niece, the speakers in Cheryl’s car were blown out by blasting her favorite Bee Gee’s song, “Tragedy.”

Cheryl's lead foot was a source of much discussion and laughter amongst her family, prompting Killian to quip "I'm pretty sure Grandma can get from Burwell to Kearney in 30 minutes".

Cheryl loved being a mom, but she cherished being a grandma to Jessamyn, Madison, and Killian (and Jaylee, of course, who called her “Grandma Aunt Cheryl”), and embraced her&nbsp; “grandsons-in-law,” Colby and Hunter as her own. She attended nearly every choir concert, band concert, quiz bowl competition, Grandparents Day celebration, Christmas program, speech meet, one-act play, musical, soccer game and awards night through the years. A trip to see her grandchildren was never long in her eyes. Cheryl also became an advocate for Autism during this chapter of her life. She was enjoying watching grandson Killian learn to drive in the months before her passing, and was looking forward to the wedding of Madison and Hunter.

She loved visiting with friends Jack and Mary Lee Nichols, and Gary and Joyce Kuhlman, often having them over for a wild game of Sequence that could go on into the late hours of the night.

She loved to garden and bird-watch, and enjoy the fresh air on her patio or porch. She bowled in a bowling league in North Platte for many years. She was an avid reader and encouraged her children and grandchildren to read from an early age. She had a great sense of humor, but was known to roll her eyes so far back in her head that she caught a glimpse of her brain when her family used the “colorful” language she didn’t approve of.

Cheryl will be deeply missed by her family and friends, and the mark she made on this Earth will never go unnoticed by those who knew her.

Memorials in Cheryl’s honor can be made to Noah’s Ark Daycare at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Burwell, Nebraska and the Burwell Volunteer Fire Department. 

Services will be held at a later date, because of current health measures due to COVID-19.&nbsp; Hitchcock Funeral Home in Burwell is in charge of arrangements.
