Anna May “Anne” Baxter, age 93, of North Platte, Nebraska departed this life on October 20, 2020, at Linden Court in North Platte.

Anne was born on February 9, 1927 to John and Bertha Schumacher Stewart at Edgar, NE. She grew up in Edgar, where her father was a dentist, then a pharmacist. After losing her father to leukemia when she was 11 years old, she and her brothers helped their mother in the Rexall Drug Store that her family owned. She always spoke fondly of her upbringing with her three older brothers in Edgar, which was a thriving small town with an outstanding business community, fed in part by the presence of both the Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Railroads.

Starting in the eighth grade, Anne played organ for six years for the Presbyterian Church in Edgar, where she also sang in the choir. After graduating as valedictorian from Edgar High School, Anne attended Doane College in Crete, NE, where she played in the drum corps. She taught school for one year in Superior, NE and then headed to University of Nebraska in Lincoln, where she studied Home Economics at the Ag College on East Campus. She met her future husband, Neal Baxter, at a church event near the UNL campus and they became better acquainted when they both sang in the 2nd&nbsp;Presbyterian Church choir.

On June 11, 1950 Anne and Neal were married in Edgar and spent their first year of married life in Lexington, NE, where Neal was Assistant Dawson County Extension Agent and Anne taught fourth grade at Bryan Elementary School. They then moved to North Platte for Neal to become the Lincoln County Extension Agent and to begin raising their family. They made their permanent home in North Platte, other than in 1966, when they moved their family to Madison, WI for Neal to earn his master’s degree. That year, Anne became involved in a research project that involved teaching “New Math” to 6th&nbsp;graders.

While in North Platte, Anne and Neal were very active in their First Presbyterian Church, where they both sang in the choir and served as state skippers for Mariners and as sponsors for senior high youth fellowship. Anne was active in Extension Club, Home Ec Club, and PEO and made many close friendships through her involvement in those organizations. In 1975, Anne briefly returned to Lincoln to complete her degree, after which she was a substitute teacher, covering K thru High School in every school in town.

Anne was a devoted and loving wife, mother, and grandmother, while also finding time to give back to her church and community. She helped organize the North Platte Genealogical Society and served as its first president. She also chaired the Playground Committee for the Storyland Zoo, a Rotary project. She and her husband Neal enjoyed many memorable trips together, many of which were to foreign countries. Anne will always be remembered as a loving and loyal friend to many, looking for the positive in any situation, and looking to share her gift of humor with others whenever given the opportunity.

Anne is survived by her four sons, Stewart (Lisa) of North Platte, Kim (Nancy) of North Platte, Brian of North Platte, and Paul of North Platte; grandson Logan (Alison) Baxter and granddaughter Haley Baxter of Kearney; granddaughter Mikaela (David) Meagher of Lincoln; granddaughter Elizabeth (Monte) Williams of Charlotte, NC and grandson Brandon Baxter of Hastings; great-granddaughter Eloise Marie Meagher; two nephews and three nieces.

She was preceded in death by her husband Neal, her parents, her brothers William (Grechen) Stewart, Paul (Molly) Stewart and Frank (Suzy) Stewart; and her grandson Craig Baxter.

Graveside services for family and burial will be at 10:00 AM on Friday, October 23, 2020 at Fort McPherson National Cemetery near Maxwell, Nebraska. Visitation will be on Thursday, October 22, 2020, noon to 8:00 PM at Adams and Swanson Funeral Home at 421 West 4th&nbsp;Street. Memorials are suggested to North Platte Rotary Club and First Presbyterian Church. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Marlene married the local renegade, Maurice Atkins, on April 2, 1966.&nbsp; Maurice had been drafted into the army and was soon to be stationed in West Germany.&nbsp; Marlene joined him there in August of 1966 and a son, J.B., was born to them while stationed there on active duty.&nbsp; Upon fulfilling Maurice’s obligation to the US Army, they returned to Maitland in November of 1967.

The Atkins family moved to Fairfax, Missouri in December of 1968 where two more sons joined them – Aaron in 1970 and Ryan in 1973.&nbsp; While in the Fairfax community, both Marlene and Maurice rededicated their lives to Christ at the Fairfax Baptist Church.&nbsp; They farmed at Fairfax until 1979 when they moved to a purchased farm at Barnard, Missouri.&nbsp; They moved their membership at the Fairfax Baptist Church to the Laura Street Baptist Church in Maryville, Missouri.

As Marlene’s children graduated from school, she began taking classes in computer operations at VoTech in Maryville MO.&nbsp; These classes prepared her for the transition from fulltime mom to fulltime employment.&nbsp; Upon graduation, she went to work at a doctor’s office in Maryville MO.&nbsp; She later went to work at another doctor’s office in Mound City MO and followed that employment with a job at the Maitland Farmers Bank in Maitland MO, as a teller.

Marlene retired from the Assessor’s office in June of 2015.&nbsp; She was able to fill in the gaps with travels to her grandchildren in Missouri – Kaitlyn and Megan from Aaron and Cathy Atkins, and Ashlee Atkins from Ryan and Janet Atkins as well as step-grandsons Jeremy and Eric Gabelmann.&nbsp; These trips included lots of softball games as well as dance recitals and the always exciting Christmas get-togethers with both families.&nbsp; Marlene was also very active within the Berean Bible Church of Broken Bow.&nbsp; She was a great witness for Jesus and lived her life as an example of such.

Marlene enjoyed traveling in her retirement.&nbsp; She particularly loved traveling through the mountains.&nbsp; She peacefully passed to God’s kingdom at Callaway Good Life Center on October 17, 2020.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, October 24, 2020 at 10:30 a.m. at the Berean Bible Church in Broken Bow with Pastor Tyce Jensen and Pastor Larry DeMoss officiating. Burial will follow in the Broken Bow Cemetery. Memorials are suggested to the Broken Bow EMT’s.

JoDee K. (Davenport) Kimball, passed away on October 18, 2020 at her home in Lincoln, Nebraska. She was born December 20, 1962 to James and Sherry (Hircock) Davenport in North Platte, the fourth of nine children.&nbsp; She attended school in Arnold, Nebraska and was a 1981 graduate of Arnold High School.

JoDee spent her early years on the family farm near Arnold with her brothers and sisters taking care of the farm and large garden.&nbsp; Keeping the tree strips cleaned up and irrigating were some of her favorite chores. She also enjoyed riding her horse, Comanche, helping with the AI breeding program, and participating in numerous 4-H activities.&nbsp; In high school, one of her favorite classes was art and she loved creating beautiful landscape paintings.

JoDee married Tom Kimball shortly after graduating from high school and they had one child together, Bridget. She lived in Columbus for the past several years and recently moved to Lincoln to be closer to her family.&nbsp; She dedicated the last 15 years of her life to working for BD in Columbus and took great pride in her work.

One of JoDee’s greatest joys was the time she spent with her grandsons, enjoying teaching them about the planets, hunting for bugs, and playing games. The boys loved spending time with their “Grammy”.&nbsp; One of her favorite stories to tell is about her grandson, Langsten, pointing to her cherry tomato plants and saying “ball”!&nbsp;

JoDee had quite a green thumb, often giving her less gardening inclined sisters much appreciated words of growing wisdom.&nbsp; She spent many years growing flowers and especially enjoyed helping her Grandma Hircock in her gigantic garden.&nbsp; She even continued to garden this past summer growing a variety of vegetables in tubs.

Another of JoDee’s talents was her ability to create delicious meals.&nbsp; She was always guaranteed to be signed up to make scalloped corn at family holiday gatherings.&nbsp; Recently, she purchased a smoker and made some fantastic steaks and ribs to share with her family.

JoDee also enjoyed spending time in nature.&nbsp; Many fun times were had fishing with family at multiple lakes, including Merritt Reservoir near Valentine.&nbsp; As a young mother, she took pride in hunting and providing venison for her family.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

JoDee was preceded in death by her parents, James and Sherry Davenport; her grandparents, Darrel and Freda (Bowers) Hircock, Orville and Mary Davenport, and grandmother Lola (Bean) Davenport; brother, Michael Davenport; and nephew, Andrew Claymon.

Floyd Layton Holt  (1942-2020)

Since the birth of Dale Burdette Wilson on July 4th, 1925, he has been a “firecracker,” so to speak, with a very independent spirit. Dale Burdette was born to Orrin and Ethel Belle (Smith) Wilson on the family farm north of Benkelman, Nebraska. He was 1 of 13 children raised in a two-bedroom house. Burdette attended school until the 8th grade, then completed his GED in 1975 and graduated from Wauneta High School. During his teen years, Burdette farmed. He was hired by Bill Damrow who later became his father-in-law when he married the farmer’s daughter. Burdette and Jackie Damrow were married August 4, 1946, and their love for each other lasted 73 years. To this union 5 children were born: Laddie, Alyce, Kathy, Bill and Rich. Burdette loved dancing to Big Band music, going to card parties, playing cribbage and attending all sports activities of his children, grandchildren and the area sports teams until he wasn’t physically able. Burdette will always be remembered for his joke telling. He loved to make people laugh and laughing always accompanied some knee slapping. Jackie would say “Burdette that joke is so old”, yet soon she would join in the laughing. Burdette had a strong commitment to his Christian faith and wanted others to have that relationship. It was a must that their family regularly attended church. Burdette will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Burdette passed away Friday morning, October 16, 2020, at the Wauneta Care and Therapy Center in Wauneta, Nebraska. He was 95 years of age. Burdette was preceded in death by his parents; wife Jackie; son-in-law Charlie Watt; granddaughters Katie Watt Bradbury and Kristina Lea Wilson. Survivors include:&nbsp;&nbsp; Son: Laddie Wilson and wife Anita of Olathe, KS. Daughter: Alyce Richard and husband Alan of Omaha, NE. Daughter: Kathy Walgren and husband Rex of Wauneta, NE.

Brother: Jack and Ina Mae Wilson of Imperial, NE. Brother-in-law: Marvin Haines of Benkelman, NE.
