He loved to have a good time with his family and friends, finding treasures at garage sales, playing cards, attending concerts and performing some original music on his guitar.

Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by his first daughter Lisa, oldest son, Jason and his sister, Betty.

Those left to honor his memory are his loving wife, Janice Byrns of Lexington; daughter, Beth Byrns of Lincoln; son Robert Benjamin Byrns (Sammi) of North Platte; stepdaughter, Hanna (J.C.)

David Dean Clark (1955-2024)

Phyllis Elaine Bowlin, age 92, of Arthur Nebraska died Saturday, February 24th, 2024, at Perkins County Health Services in Grant, Nebraska.

Phyllis was born to Phillip Hild and Elva Bateman Hild on February 24th, 1932 in Niobrara, Nebraska. When she was four years old her brother, Dale, was born.

Before Phyllis was four years old, she and her family moved to a farm north of Brady, Nebraska. Phyllis attended school at Wild Horse Valley School near their farm. Her father, Phillip, died when Phyllis was fourteen years old. She didn't get to go to high school because Dale and her mother couldn't keep the farm going by themselves. She worked the farm with them until she was around eighteen. Phyllis then started working at the lunch counter at Woolworth's in North Platte.

While staying with her aunt and uncle in Maxwell, she rode along with her uncle, who was a night watchman at Frank's Farm Equipment to make his rounds. While there she met her future husband, Jim. They started out married life in an apartment in North Platte. Phyllis always talked about using orange crates for cupboards since they had no furniture. When they moved on to work at a farm near Brady, the house had cupboards, so the orange crates became end tables.

Phyllis and Jim went on to work on the Kramer ranch near the Birdwood Creek and the Rodewald ranch near Stapleton. During the time they worked at Brady, the Birdwood, and Stapleton all three children, Carolyn, Ronda, and Neil were born.

In 1957 Phyllis and Jim moved to Arthur for work at the Triangle Ranch. They started out living in Hank and Dena Swanson's basement until the house at Box Lake was ready. After several years at Triangle, they moved into Arthur, where they lived until moving to the Mahlon Johnson place where they lived until they finally achieved their lifelong dream of owning their own ranch. They moved to the Ted Frye ranch in the 1980s and later purchased it.

Phyllis loved being a ranch wife and mother. She helped with the ranch work and was famous for the good food she served the many kids who worked for them. Phyllis loved being on the hospitality committee and feeding all the kids that came home with her kids after school. She had a great love for animals and especially enjoyed her dogs and her chickens. Phyllis loved her family and friends, making many friends feel like family.

Preceding her in death were her husband Jim and her parents.

Survivors include son, Neil (Shelley) Bowlin of Gurley; daughters, Carolyn (Red) Cerny of Arthur; and Ronda (Alan) Haumann of Thedford; a brother Dale (Kathy) Hild of Brady; four grandchildren Charlene Cerny (Dave Roque) of San Diego, Mikki Cerny of Axtell, NE, Brook (Beau) Huffman of Hastings, and D.J. Haumann of Bingham; eight great grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren.

Visitation will be on Thursday, February 29th from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. at Arthur Baptist Church in Arthur, Nebraska.

The funeral service will be held on Friday, March 1st, at 2:00 p.m. at Arthur Baptist Church with Pastor Blake Wilkes officiating. Interment will follow at Arthur Cemetery in Arthur, Nebraska.

A memorial to the Perkins County Hospital Foundation has been established.

Diana Henry (1936-2024)

Dean Roy Maack passed away Thursday, February 22, 2024 at his home in Cozad at the age of 76. Dean was born in Cozad on September 1, 1947 to Roy and Alice (Gustafson) Maack. He lived a life full of dedication and love for his family and friends. He graduated from Cozad High School in 1965 and went on to have a fulfilling career that included working on the family farm in his youth, spending over 25 years at Monroe Auto, and later trucking for Gene Easterday and Nebraska Salt and Grain.

Proud of his country, Dean chose to enlist in the Navy, serving in the Vietnam War and served with honor. He always spoke fondly of his time as an extra in the Universal Studio movie "Tora, Tora, Tora" while stationed in Hawaii. The many Military Decorations, medals, badges, commendations, citations and campaign ribbons awarded or authorized to Dean were: National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal (with one campaign star), Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal (Korea), Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal (with device). Dean's commitment to his military service was unwavering, and it was a significant part of his life that he held dear.

In his leisure time, Dean enjoyed various hobbies such as hunting, fishing, and camping. However, his greatest joy came from spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His kind heart and warm presence will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Dean is survived by his son Michael (Tyrene) Maack of Cozad, daughter Kerri Dangler of Lexington, grandchildren Joey and Dallas Maack of Cozad and Kelsey (Trevor) Hallan of Lexington, great-grandchildren Logan, Paisley and Luke Maack of Cozad, Zachary Simite and River Hallan of Lexington, brothers Gene Maack of Cozad and Ron Garrelts of California, sister Sharlyn (Jerry) Hurst of Colorado, numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members.

He is preceded in death by his parents and his beloved pet donkey Busch but leaves behind a rich tapestry of memories shared with those he loved.

Memorials are suggested to the family for later designation. Cremation was chosen and a Memorial Service to honor Dean's life will be held at Berryman Funeral Home Chapel at 2:00 p.m. on March 1, 2024 with Harvey Pierce officiating.&nbsp;

Kay Tingelhoff (1940-2024)

&nbsp; &nbsp; Pauline (Geier) Frecks, 98, departed this earth for her heavenly home on Friday, February 23, 2024, at Hillcrest Nursing Home in McCook, Nebraska.

&nbsp; &nbsp; Pauline was born on December 19, 1925, on a farm near Duncan, Nebraska to Martin and Elizabeth (Hoffman) Geier. &nbsp;After spending her early years on the farm near Duncan, Nebraska, the family relocated to Culbertson in 1935. &nbsp;As one of 15 children, she learned the value of hard work and sacrifice at an early age. &nbsp;Like many families living at that time, milking twice a day was part of the regular rhythm of life and cleaning the milk separator was one of her daily chores. &nbsp;She also became an expert at working in the beet fields, which perhaps contributed to her lifelong quest to keep every weed pulled from her yard and garden, which she admirably succeeded in doing all of the time she resided on the farm.

&nbsp; &nbsp; In 1942, Alvere “Butch” Frecks gave her a ride home from a dance in town, which began a two-year courtship. Pauline and Butch were married on February 6, 1944, at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Culbertson. They made their home and farmed on Butch’s family’s homestead southwest of Culbertson, where Pauline lived until 2010, at which time she relocated to Brookdale in McCook and later to Hillcrest Nursing Home in 2020 where she resided until the time of her death.

&nbsp; &nbsp; Pauline was a lifelong member of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Culbertson.

&nbsp; &nbsp; Pauline will be dearly remembered by family and friends for her consistency and dependability. &nbsp;Saturday mornings would find her in McCook at her weekly hair appointment and trip to the local grocery store and later Walmart. &nbsp;She kept an immaculate, orderly house, with everything in its place. This was not an easy feat when raising four children, especially in the early years with no indoor plumbing, considering the wind and dust that often blows incessantly across the prairie. &nbsp;This was not without some sacrifice from others, however. &nbsp;Just ask the children who had to remove all dirty clothing and shoes before entering or the grandchildren who endured face scrubbings after meals. &nbsp;It was worth it, though, when you knew there was a cookie waiting for you in the coffee cans in the basement freezer regardless of when you were there for a visit. Throughout their married life, Pauline and Butch enjoyed square dancing and hosting card parties. &nbsp;She was a competitive game player, and I’m sure many of the grandchildren lost a game of tic-tac-toe or hangman to her on occasion. &nbsp;Her love for competition continued throughout her life as weekly bingo games were a highlight in her later years. &nbsp;Pauline and Butch were faithful, regular attenders of their grandchildren’s activities. The grandchildren always knew they could count on Grandma and Grandpa to be there – quite possibly before they even arrived at the event – as Pauline was never late. &nbsp;Until arthritis took its final toll, she crocheted beautiful afghans, learning multiple stiches over the years and making sure each child and grandchild had at least one to remember her by. &nbsp;She tended a large garden many years of her life, growing several types of vegetables and melons to be enjoyed by her family. &nbsp;She was an excellent baker and cook, with one of the family favorites being her potato salad, which many have tried to replicate, but have never quite succeeded. &nbsp;Pauline was an excellent speller and had a keen mind remembering facts and names throughout her entire life. &nbsp;She had a quick wit and could be counted on to tell it like she saw it.

&nbsp; &nbsp; Pauline was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Butch; one sister, Frieda Galetti; two brothers, Edward Geier and Ralph Geier; four half-brothers; five half-sisters; and one great-grandchild, Turner Frecks.

&nbsp; &nbsp; Survivors include two daughters, Cheryl (Harvey) Steier of Atwood and Karen (Paul) Smolik of Kearney; two sons, Gary (Pamela) Frecks of Cambridge and Mark (Nancy) Frecks of Culbertson; one sister, Virginia Crowell of Loveland, Colorado; one brother, Richard Geier of Lincoln; one brother-in-law, John Frecks; nine grandchildren: Melinda Gooch (Phil), Shawn Steier (Annette Purdon), Natausha Jean (Scott), Garrett Frecks (Susanne), Tessa Deyle (Derek), Trent Smolik (Courtney Smith), Isaac Frecks (Keli), Sarah White (Andrew), Joseph Frecks (Amy); and 24 great-grandchildren: Brady Gooch fiancée Elisabeth Paxton, Jami Gooch (Josh Miller), Gavin Steier, Ava Steier, Alex Jean, Jessica Adams (Mitchell), Brock Jean, Tate Jean, Natiel Jean, Gracyn Frecks, Brandon Frecks, Hailey Frecks, Clay Frecks, Rylee Frecks, Easton Frecks, Michael White, Dayvie White, Jackson White, Carter White, Barrett Frecks, Creighton Frecks, Kannon Frecks, Stella Frecks, Griffin Frecks.

&nbsp; &nbsp; Pauline’s confirmation Bible verse was Revelation 2:10, “Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.” &nbsp;Grandma, your life was well lived, you were faithful, and we celebrate with you that you are now in God’s presence away from the hardships of this life enjoying your crown of life. &nbsp;Well done, good and faithful servant.

&nbsp; &nbsp; Visitation will be held on Thursday, February 29, 2024 at Herrmann-Jones Funeral Chapel in McCook from 10AM-7PM. &nbsp;Pauline's family will greet friends from 5-7PM.

&nbsp; &nbsp; A service in honor of Pauline’s life will be held at 10:30 AM on Friday, March 1, 2024 at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Culbertson with Pastor Bradley Rick officiating. &nbsp;Interment will be in the Culbertson Cemetery following the service.

&nbsp; &nbsp; Memorials in Pauline's name are suggested to St. John’s Lutheran Church in Culbertson. &nbsp;Online condolences may be left at herrmannfh.com. &nbsp;Arrangements have been entrusted to Herrmann-Jones Funeral Chapel of McCook.&nbsp;

Larry Doyle (1940-2024)

&nbsp;Paula Jeane (Minnick) Knapple, 97, of Lexington, Nebraska, passed away peacefully with family surrounding her Thursday, February 22, 2024, at Ridgeway Senior Living in Lexington, Nebraska.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Paula was born during a terrible blizzard on December 6, 1926, in the kitchen of her family’s rural Furnas County log home. She was kept warm by the heat radiating out from the wood-fired oven until her Uncle Doc Minnick could arrive by horse and buggy. &nbsp;Paula Jeane was welcomed into the world by her parents, Harvey E. (born 1895) and Emma F. (born 1892), and older brother, Harvey Jr. (born 1918).

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Paula’s primary and secondary education was through the Cambridge School District, graduating with her beloved class of 1944. Paula spent her first two years of college at Doane College (now Doane University) and then two years at the University of Nebraska graduating in 1948 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Education with honors. Post-graduate studies at University of Nebraska and the University of Colorado at Boulder followed.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;She taught elementary students at Plattsmouth, Nebraska, before meeting her future husband at her cousin’s wedding. Her cousin just so happened to be her future husband’s college roommate. This chance meeting led Paula to Lexington, Nebraska, for a job teaching elementary students and, eventually, a marriage to Glenn F. Knapple and the life of a farm wife raising two sons and a daughter. Together, they raised their children and supported their numerous activities throughout their youth, which included attending all school and out of town events, athletics, horse shows, etc. She still shared that passion later in life and supported her grandkids in all of their activities and successes whenever possible. Paula loved her family with all of her heart.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Paula loved and served the Lord and her church. She attended bible studies, was a charter member of Chapter GR P.E.O., gathering with friends for supper and fun, and whenever possible, she enjoyed beating her friends playing bridge. She enjoyed traveling and was able to visit all 50 states. She was a lover of animals, especially dachshund dogs, cats, and horses. &nbsp;Her family and many close friends always said she was the best cook ever. &nbsp;However, her specialty was baking banana cream pies.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Later in life Paula worked a number of years at Barmore Drug. Paula was not immune to working hard her entire life. &nbsp;Once, after being caught in the act of scooping snow at the age of 90, and firmly told she’s too old to do it, replied, “Well, I can do it!”

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Paula Jeane is survived by her children and spouses, Kevin and Mary Anne Knapple of Papillion, NE., Fred (Fredo) and Jerri Knapple of Hastings, NE., &nbsp;and Rebecca (Becky) and Mike Holcomb of Johnson Lake, NE.; grandchildren, Jennifer (John) Kuhn of Spring Hill, KS, Lindsay (David) Henson of Papillion, NE., Nicholas (Peggy) Knapple of Olathe, KS., Jacob (Chelsea) Holcomb of Broken Bow, NE., Sydney Holcomb (Patrick Moeller) of Lincoln NE., and Libby (Brayden) Wills of Lincoln, NE.; great grandchildren, Lucy Kuhn of Boston, Mass., Lily Kuhn of New York City, NY., Sadie Kuhn of Lincoln, NE., Bess and Maggie Henson of Papillion, NE., Lincoln Knapple of Olathe, KS., Jace, Easton, and Ella Holcomb of Broken Bow, NE., and&nbsp;Elliott Wills of Lincoln, NE.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Paula was preceded in death by her parents, Harvey and Emma Minnick; husband, Glenn F. Knapple; Father- and mother-in-law Dr. Fred L. and Leota Knapple; infant twins Samuel and Sarah Knapple; brothers-and-sister-in-laws, Jim and Virginia King, Duane and Lois Birt, and brother U.S. Navy CMDR (retired) Harvey Minnick and first wife Cleo, and second wife Norma (Minnick) Wymore.

Funeral Services will be held on Monday, February 26, 2024, at 10:30 a.m. at the First United Methodist Church in Lexington with Pastor Becky Dobitsch and Pastor Velma Tim, officiating. The service will be live streamed via the church website: firstchurchlex.org

Visitation will be held on Sunday, February 25, 2024, with family present from 3-5 p.m. at Reynolds-Love Funeral Home in Lexington.

Burial will take place at Greenwood Cemetery in Lexington, Nebraska

Memorials are kindly suggested to the First United Methodist Church, Chapter GR P.E.O., or to a scholarship fund directed towards a teaching degree for a student at Cambridge High School.

 </figure>&nbsp;Paula Jeane (Minnick) Knapple, 97, of Lexington, Nebraska, passed away peacefully with family surrounding her Thursday, February 22, 2024, at Ridgeway Senior Living in Lexington, Nebraska.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Paula was born during a terrible blizzard on December 6, 1926, in the kitchen of her family’s rural Furnas County log home. She was kept warm by the heat radiating out from the wood-fired oven until her Uncle Doc Minnick could arrive by horse and buggy. &nbsp;Paula Jeane was welcomed into the world by her parents, Harvey E. (born 1895) and Emma F. (born 1892), and older brother, Harvey Jr. (born 1918).&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Paula’s primary and secondary education was through the Cambridge School District, graduating with her beloved class of 1944. Paula spent her first two years of college at Doane College (now Doane University) and then two years at the University of Nebraska graduating in 1948 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Education with honors. Post-graduate studies at University of Nebraska and the University of Colorado at Boulder followed.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;She taught elementary students at Plattsmouth, Nebraska, before meeting her future husband at her cousin’s wedding. Her cousin just so happened to be her future husband’s college roommate. This chance meeting led Paula to Lexington, Nebraska, for a job teaching elementary students and, eventually, a marriage to Glenn F. Knapple and the life of a farm wife raising two sons and a daughter. Together, they raised their children and supported their numerous activities throughout their youth, which included attending all school and out of town events, athletics, horse shows, etc. She still shared that passion later in life and supported her grandkids in all of their activities and successes whenever possible. Paula loved her family with all of her heart.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Paula loved and served the Lord and her church. She attended bible studies, was a charter member of Chapter GR P.E.O., gathering with friends for supper and fun, and whenever possible, she enjoyed beating her friends playing bridge. She enjoyed traveling and was able to visit all 50 states. She was a lover of animals, especially dachshund dogs, cats, and horses. &nbsp;Her family and many close friends always said she was the best cook ever. &nbsp;However, her specialty was baking banana cream pies.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Later in life Paula worked a number of years at Barmore Drug. Paula was not immune to working hard her entire life. &nbsp;Once, after being caught in the act of scooping snow at the age of 90, and firmly told she’s too old to do it, replied, “Well, I can do it!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Paula Jeane is survived by her children and spouses, Kevin and Mary Anne Knapple of Papillion, NE., Fred (Fredo) and Jerri Knapple of Hastings, NE., &nbsp;and Rebecca (Becky) and Mike Holcomb of Johnson Lake, NE.; grandchildren, Jennifer (John) Kuhn of Spring Hill, KS, Lindsay (David) Henson of Papillion, NE., Nicholas (Peggy) Knapple of Olathe, KS., Jacob (Chelsea) Holcomb of Broken Bow, NE., Sydney Holcomb (Patrick Moeller) of Lincoln NE., and Libby (Brayden) Wills of Lincoln, NE.; great grandchildren, Lucy Kuhn of Boston, Mass., Lily Kuhn of New York City, NY., Sadie Kuhn of Lincoln, NE., Bess and Maggie Henson of Papillion, NE., Lincoln Knapple of Olathe, KS., Jace, Easton, and Ella Holcomb of Broken Bow, NE., and&nbsp;Elliott Wills of Lincoln, NE.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Paula was preceded in death by her parents, Harvey and Emma Minnick; husband, Glenn F.

Jeff R Maxwell (1948-2024)

Margaret Sughroue entered eternal life on February 23, 2024 in Wahoo, NE surrounded by family.

Margaret Francis (Beeson) Sughroue was born February 13th, 1950 to Ed &amp; Nellie (Cozad) Beeson in Yankton, SD. She graduated from St Helen’s High School in 1968. Margaret then pursued a Degree in Nursing, graduating from Boise State in 1970.

Her nursing career was spent in Portland, Denver, McCook, and Arapahoe. While in Denver, Margaret was introduced to a coworker’s brother, Ed. The two started dating and 7 months later they were united in holy matrimony on October 23, 1976. They lived in Denver for three years and then moved to McCook, NE. Their union brought 4 children: Amy, Andrew, Fr Adam, &amp; Alex.

Margaret and family attended St Patrick’s Catholic Church. Margaret was also a member of St Theresa’s Circle.&nbsp; Her Catholic faith was a central part of her life. The family spent time on walks, going on vacations to visit family, spent time with one another and played a lot of cards. It was common to be out to dinner and have someone stop by the table to comment on how well Margaret took care of them or a loved one when they were in the hospital. Margaret will always be remembered for the love and care she showed to her patients. After retiring from nursing Margaret kept busy volunteering at the Bargain Bazaar. She always had a quick wit and lots of love for her family and friends. Raising 4 children, working, doing housework, and cooking, she was a force not to be reckoned with. A constant in Margaret's life was writing letters, thank you notes, or simply letting someone know that someone is thinking of them. Margaret suffered greatly because of Parkinson’s but did so with inspiring grace.

Surviving members of Margaret’s family are: husband Ed of McCook, daughter Amy Sughroue of Omaha, sons Fr Adam Sughroue of the David City Area, Alex and Dana Sughroue, &amp; the light of her life, granddaughter Dakota of Fremont, NE; brother; Jerry, sisters; Rosemary (Bill), Joan (Vic) Georgene (Jack), Theresa (Donald), and Jeanmarie, nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her son Andrew, parents Ed &amp; Nellie Beeson, brothers; Michael, Nicholas and Victor, sisters Theresa (her twin), Rita (Cecil), Sharon, Pat (Harry), Kathy (Mike).

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Richard “Dick” Joseph Clark was born June 17, 1943, at the Cherry County Hospital in Valentine to Joseph and Viola (Reiser) Clark, passing away February 19, 2024, at the family home near Brewster.&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Growing up on the Ed Reiser ranch in the Brownlee area, he attended Grade School there and High School in Thedford.&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;In 1961, Richard, Viola, and brother Ken moved south of Brewster.&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;On August 11, 1964, Dick was united in marriage with Sheila “Sue” Iverson at St. Anselm’s Catholic Church. To this union, three children were born: Cope in 1968, Patrese in 1970, and Kirk in 1973.&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Dick and Sue along with Ken, ranched, milked cows, and like many, tried their hand at irrigating the sandhills. Dick was quoted as saying “he would rather go to prison than ever milk cows again for a living.” In the early 80’s Dick and Sue purchased their first two trucks and started Clark Trucking, this was Dick’s true love. Another quote of his was “If it didn’t have a motor, I didn’t want anything to do with it.” During his career, Dick traveled from Canada to Mexico, California to New York, accumulating over 3 million miles with only&nbsp;one&nbsp;accident.&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Retiring in 2010 from trucking to the pick-up and camper, Dick and Sue spent six winters in Yuma, AZ enjoying golfing, spending time with friends, and (Dick’s not-so-favorite) Card Club Friday. They were fortunate enough to visit all 50 states and several countries abroad. Dick and Sue, with traveling companions, Jim and Colleen Higgins, went on numerous cruises which included Dick’s favorites seeing Pope Benedict the 16th at Vatican City and touring Cuba.&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The highlights of his days were spending his time with his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Richard was preceded in death by parents Joseph and Viola Clark, father and mother-in-law Everett “Bus” and Alice “Peg” Iverson, sister and brother-in-law Patti and Mike McGinn, and several other family members.&nbsp;

Dwayne Edwin Hines (1975-2024)

Vincent Rue Lee, of rural Elsie, NE, passed away peacefully at Imperial Manor on February 20, 2024, at the age of 86.

Vincent was the fifth child born to Margaret and George Lee Sr. on November 11, 1937, at their home south of Elsie. He attended country school until the 8th grade and then went to Elsie High School, where he graduated in 1955.

It was during his school years that he met the love of his life, Patsy Courtney. He and Patsy wed on November 26, 1955, at Resurrection of Our Lord in Elsie. They moved south of Elsie, and from this union, four children were born: Daniel, Michael, Bradley, and Beverly (Susie).

Vince loved working with his brothers, and from that, Lee Brothers was formed. Vince enjoyed the cattle and livestock, farming and harvesting, and looked forward to each season and what it would bring. He loved being a farmer and watching everything grow. He was proud to get to work with his brothers, son, and grandson each day.

Vince was a big supporter of 4-H with his children and community. When Dan, Mike, Brad, and Susie were young, he and Patsy were 4-H leaders of the "Country Cousins" 4-H group. Many demonstrations and 4-H presentations were given in their living room. After his kids had aged out of 4-H, Vince became a Perkins County Fair Board member. He served proudly for 30 years. In 2002, Vince and Patsy were named the Perkins County Fair Grand Marshals.

Vince was a lifelong member of the Resurrection of Our Lord Catholic Church in Elsie. He served many years as a lector for the parish. He was also an avid singer and sang for several of his grandchildren's weddings. He loved singing "Ave Maria."

Vince loved a good story and a good laugh and would leave you with a smile. He took great pride in being a good neighbor to everyone. Vince was a devoted husband all the way to the end when Patsy passed away in June of 2007.

Vince was greeted in heaven by his wife of 51 years, Patsy, son Brad; grandsons Jared and Kevin Lee, brothers Jack, Jim, George, and Bill, and sister Regina; parents Margaret &amp; George Sr; Father-in-Law Dick Courtney; Mother-in-Law Mary Courtney and Brothers-in-Law Fritz Duggan and Jim Longcor.

Left to carry on his legacy are his children Daniel (Patti) Lee of Elsie, NE., Michael (Karla) Lee of Glenrock, WY., Ellen Lee of Glenrock, WY., and Susie Lee of Torrington, WY. Grandchildren: Justin (Kelly) Loeffler, Casey (Tristan) Lee, Mitch (Ryan) Lee, Jennifer (Jade) Reimers, Tara Smith, Courtney (Stetson) Ostrander, Michelle (Aaron) Knoll, Jason (Morgan) Lee, Tyler, Ryan (McKenzie), Adam, Kyle, Linda (Zac) King. Great grandchildren: Isabelle &amp; Hayden Loeffler, Ada, Ruby, and Xavier Lee, Taven &amp; Harper Reimers, Bradley &amp; Charlie Smith, Tenley &amp; Jensen Ostrander, Gabriel Knoll, Ryken Lee, Oaklee, Harlynn, &amp; Radlee King; sisters-in-Law Janet Lee, Joan Duggan, Diane Smith, Connie Wilson; and his incredibly special friend of 16 years Norma Mayer; and numerous nieces, nephews and many lifelong friends.

A memorial has been established in Vincent's memory to the Perkins County 4H. Condolences may be shared at bullocklongfuneralhome.com, where the Mass will be streamed live.
