Harold "Buck" Green (1946-2023)

Andrew B. “Andy” Krajewski, 92 of Johnson Lake, Nebraska passed away on Wednesday, November 1, 2023 at Elwood Care Center after a long, valiant battle with cancer.

Andy was born on August 14, 1931, in Ashton, Nebraska to Joseph and Agnes (Goc) Krajewski. At the age of 3, the family moved to Omaha where he attended Catholic grade schools and Omaha South High School, from which he graduated. He then went on to further his education for two years at the University of Omaha.

On June 17, 1952, Andy enlisted in the United States Army where he proudly served his country in the Korean War as a radio operator in the 68th AAA Gun Battalion. He continued his service after the end of hostilities until his honorable discharge on June 8, 1954.

His career in the meat packing industry began prior to his enlistment with a position at Cudahy Packing Company that began on May 5, 1950. Following his discharge, Andy took various positions in the industry in Omaha and throughout the United States. He settled back in Omaha, Nebraska and married Mary Ellen on April 19, 1969. Four children were blessed to this union: John, Linda, Mike and Keith. His family lived in various places throughout the years following Andy with his work, finally settling near Lexington, NE in 1983. Andy served in many different positions over his career of more than 60 years, eventually serving as a Plant Manager on two occasions. He was most well-known as a construction project manager and plant engineer, roles he served in at multiple locations. He retired from Tyson Foods in Lexington, NE in 2013 at the age of 81. Andy loved his career and was respected for his intelligence, competence and work ethic. He made many lifelong friends through his work. Even after his retirement, he continued to read technical articles and consult his engineering handbooks to keep his mind sharp, which it remained until the end. Andy was very giving and would help others in any way he could.

Andy had many hobbies which included classic cars, trains, working in his large gardens (sometimes as many as three different ones) and snow skiing. In his younger years, Andy enjoyed bowling, playing tennis and golfing. He loved his family immensely and rarely missed a sporting event or school activity that his kids participated in. He had the opportunity of a lifetime to go on a Korean War Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. Families and friends gave all of the returning veterans a heroes’ welcome when they arrived home in Omaha after the trip, something Andy was grateful he was able to experience. He was a member of the St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Lexington and St. John Catholic Church in Smithfield. Andy was also a 4th degree Knight with the Knights of Columbus.

Doug McBeain (1950-2023)

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved wife and mother, Donna Rae (Harwager) Story, who left this world on October 31, 2023, at the age of 81. She departed peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, after a courageous battle with an acute illness. &nbsp;

Donna Rae was born on December 15, 1941, in a sod house on a homestead north of Arnold, Nebraska to her parents, Leo and Florence (Whipple) Harwager.&nbsp;

She was raised in Arnold and attended a one-room schoolhouse, Hall School, until the 8th grade before proceeding to the schoolhouse in town to attend high school before graduating in the class of 1959, with her high school sweetheart and her future husband, James (Jim) Edward Story. &nbsp;In the early dating days, Jim wasn’t permitted by her parents to take her out on dates until the milk cows were tended and they often spent their nights at the dance halls across the Sandhills. &nbsp;Donna was a waitress at Archie’s Cafe and kepts books at the Connor Implement growing up in Arnold.

Jim and Donna Rae were wed on January 21, 1961, at the Methodist Church in Arthur, Nebraska. &nbsp;They started their married life as he worked at the Flying A Cattle Company and Smith Farms in Arnold, Nebraska and the couple welcomed five children: &nbsp;Randy, Brian, Kelli, John, and Bob. Donna Rae spent her early days as a homemaker, supportive ranch wife, and mother to many. &nbsp;

In 1969, Jim and Donna moved to Coon Rapids, Iowa where they raised their kids and worked for the Garst Cattle Company. &nbsp;She supported the community by continuing the operations of the local bowling alley, and followed Jim to Delta Junction, Alaska to live for almost a year. Before relocating back to Stapleton, Nebraska in 1999, &nbsp;she became a certified 18-wheel truck driver, alongside her husband, for Lacaeyse Transport based in Grinnell, Iowa for over 15 years. &nbsp;The roadside adventures were a joy for Donna Rae to spend quality time traversing the country with Jim by her side from oceans, mountains, and everywhere in between. All the travels inspired her to often say, “I’ve been everywhere I wanted to go and some places I never knew I needed to see.” &nbsp;Her and Jim’s return home to Nebraska is inspired by her love for the Nebraska Sandhills. &nbsp;In Donna Rae’s words, “Once a Nebraska Sandhill girl, you’re always a Nebraska Sandhills girl.”&nbsp;

Family was Donna Rae’s number one priority and her life centered around them as their world centered around her. &nbsp;She was a devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, sister-in-law, aunt, and friend to all who met her, leaving an indelible mark on all those who had the privilege of knowing her. Throughout her life, Donna Rae was known for her unwavering love, kindness, and generosity. She dedicated herself to her family, making countless sacrifices to ensure their happiness and well-being. Her nurturing spirit and boundless love will be remembered by all who were fortunate enough to be a part of her life.&nbsp;

Donna Rae was a woman of many talents and interests. She enjoyed traveling, cooking for family, adventures (from exploring caves, riding rollercoasters, parasailing, swimming with sharks, touring the Louvre museum, sailing the Great Ocean Reef, and so much more!), winning at video poker, an avid reader and crossworder, mesmerized by fireworks and Christmas lights, cheering on Nebraska volleyball and football, and watching the annual sandhill crane migration. &nbsp;She especially found joy and cherished each and every holiday season with her husband and family. She shared her knowledge and enthusiasm with those around her, making lasting memories through shared experiences.

The memory of Donna Rae will live on in the hearts of all who loved her. She will be remembered for her warm smile, her gentle touch, her no-nonsense approach, and her ability to make even the darkest days seem brighter. Her spirit will continue to inspire us to be better, more loving individuals. She is and will always be remembered as an amazing lady.

Those that survive Donna Rae include her husband, James Story with whom she shared 62 years of marriage filled with love and devotion; children: Randy (Tami) Story of Alta, Iowa; Brian Story of Willliams, Iowa; Kelli (Kim) Reis of Webster City, Iowa; John (Janelle) Story of Cheyenne, Wyoming; Bob (Brandy) Story of North Platte, Nebraska; her grandchildren: Amy Reis of Zionsville, Indiana; Chelsie (Dustin) Kopaska of Guthrie County, Iowa; Jordan (Nick) Wonderlin of Lexington, North Carolina; Logan (Dexter) Hanson of Round Rock, Texas; Izaac Reis of Leesburg, Virginia; Macey (Ethan) Budke of North Platte, Nebraska; Delaney (Nick) Meyer of LeMars, Iowa; Taylor (Scot) Simons of Panora, Iowa; Garett (Skye) Story of North Platte, Nebraska; Chenoa (James) Gradert of Sheldon, Iowa; Gabe Story of Nevada, Iowa; Matthew (Jordan) Story of Dunbar, West Virgina; Samuel (Nathan) Story of North Platte, Nebraska; 13 great-grandchildren; sister and brother-in-laws: LaVon Harwager of Arnold, Nebraska; Anita Harwager of Stapleton, Nebraska; Jerry and Sharon Story of Fairbanks, Alaska; Jan Coble of California; as well as numerous relatives and friends who will deeply miss her presence.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Leo and Florence Harwager; her siblings: Marilyn, Jack, Bill, and Dan Harwager; sister-in-laws: Karen Harwager; Jody Harvey; and, brother-in-law Ron Harvey; and great-granddaugther: Rynleigh Story.&nbsp;

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the Arnold Cemetery in her honor (via Govier Brothers Mortuary in Broken Bow, Nebraska) and sympathy cards may be sent to PO Box 176, Stapleton, NE 69163.

On March 7, 1928, Adrian Krzycki was born to Vince and Lottie Krzycki on a farm near Farwell, NE. &nbsp;He peacefully passed away at the age of 95 On October 31, 2023, while residing at Centennial Park Retirement Village.

Adrian, or Kris as he preferred, lived in Farwell when he was young. &nbsp;His dad died when he was 2, then he moved to North Platte with his mom when he was 6 and this is where Kris grew up. &nbsp;He attended St. Patrick's Catholic High School and graduated in 1946, then enlisted into the U.S. Navy.

During his service time, Kris saw Japan, Guam and the South Pacific. &nbsp;Following his honorable discharge in 1948 he returned home and went to work for 6th Street Market as a meat cutter; his boss was his future father-in-law.

Kris met the love of his life, Louise Flint, at Joe's Supper Club in North Platte. &nbsp;When they exchanged their vows on November 11, 1950, they became the first couple to get married at the current St. Patrick's Catholic Church, and this year would have been their 75th anniversary.

Kris and Louise moved to California for a short time before returning home in 1953. &nbsp;From 1958-62 they lived in Scottsbluff and ran a restaurant, then moved to Longmont, CO, where they bought the Black Angus Drive-Inn and operated it from 1962-66. &nbsp;When they returned to North Platte in 1966 they bought Merrick's Ranch House. &nbsp;Kris, Louise, and their children all worked at the restaurant until they sold it in June 1982 to Bob and Jackie Karre and retired.

Kris was a longtime member of St. Patrick's Catholic Church and Knights of Columbus where he was a Grand Knight. &nbsp;He was also a member of the Eagles, Elks, V.F.W. and American Legion. &nbsp;

He loved to play golf, travel and play cards, every Tuesday was card day. &nbsp;Kris had a strong faith in the Lord. &nbsp;He was a hard worker, a loving husband, father and grandfather, and was one-in-a-million like his wife.

He was preceded in death by his wife; parents; and brother, Lavern Krzycki.

Kris leaves behind his children, Carrie Pruckler Rauff (Rich Olver) of Lakewood, CO, John Krzycki (Hilda Wright) of North Platte, Joseph Krzycki (Joni) of Columbus, OH, and Lori (Tim) Jorgensen of North Platte; grandchildren, Kelley Barnard (Steph), Rich Pruckler (JoJo), Jennifer Schlake (David), Jon Krzycki (Nealie), Laura Krzycki, Eric Jorgensen (Amy) and David Jorgensen; great-grandchildren, Eleanor, Henry, Riley, Andrew, Liley, Will, Wyatt, Molly, Trevor and Cami; and other family.

The Govier Brothers Mortuary of Mullen is in charge of arrangements. An online guest book may be signed at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.govierbrothers.com/">www.govierbrothers.com</a>.&nbsp;

On October 31, 2023, Evelyn Pauline Brecken “Granny” at the age of 101-1/2 went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Pauline was born on July 7, 1922, to William Clarence “Prunes” and Lena Leota (Kearns) Pearman in Seneca, Nebraska.

She was married to Bob Evans on December 30, 1939, unto this union three children were born: William Joseph (Jody), Leota Ann, and Betty Pauline.

While raising her children Pauline worked on several ranches, cleaned houses, and was a cook at Bud’s Café.

On July 27, 1952, she married Roy Bradley and moved to a ranch north of Mullen where they lived until they bought the Sandhills Motel and moved into Mullen, NE. After Roy’s death she continued to own and operate the motel.

She was a 4-H Leader, Extension Club President, belonged to Commercial Club, and was on the Town Board. She was a member of The Assembly of God Church in Mullen, NE.

Pauline was married to Wayne Brecken on March 7, 1971. He was in construction and later retired to help her operate the Sandhills Motel. Wayne always told her he was probably the first man to become a husband, father, and grandfather all in one day.

She was Queen of the Hooker County Fair. Also, she was the first woman to be voted “Fan of the Year”. Trying not to miss any more games than she absolutely had to. She had a special relationship with all of the kids and enjoyed each and every one of them.

It was at this time that she became known as “Granny” to the entire town, and some people still don’t know her real name. She loved to visit with anyone and didn’t know a stranger. Her heart was bigger than herself and she would help anyone if she could. Baking, sewing, and making jelly were favorite things of hers. She was known for her sewing of quilts, potholders, etc. At age 93, she made a quilt and raffled it off and gave the proceeds to a wounded warrior.

She helped at the Rustic Café, where Rhonda made her Sou Chef. Visiting with people from all over the country was a favorite thing of hers. At age 94 she was still ready to go tanking or ride a motorcycle. Her motto was: "If the wheels are turning, I’m going", and she did.

The thing that “Granny” enjoyed most was the gathering of her family. Of course, she was the life of the party. She loved life and lived it to the fullest. Loved to beat you in a game of cards and hot seat. She was a force to be reckoned with and will be greatly missed.

Survivors are her children Jody (Bea) Evans, Leota (Pat) Donohoe, and Betty (Willard) Boyer. Grandchildren: Will (Kelly) Donohoe, John (Teresa) Donohoe, Gary Evans, Dean (Christi) Boyer, and Starla (Tony) Spurlin.

Great great grandchildren: Hayley and Jenna Donohoe, Carter Donohoe, Collin Donohoe, William Spurlin, Winnie Contrares, Carter and Cole Boyer and Henry Svoboda, and numerous other family members and friends.

On October 31, 2023, Donna “Perk” Jean Perkins, aged 83, went to be with her family in Heaven where they are surely laughing together and singing hymns. &nbsp;She was born in North Platte on February 27, 1940, to Vern and Liona (Clement) Bennett.

Donna was raised in the Cozad and Gothenburg area and attended North Platte High School, where she met her future husband, Richard Perkins. &nbsp;They were wed on August 17, 1956, in North Platte. &nbsp;The couple had three daughters: Cheryl, Joyce, and Lisa. &nbsp;Donna began a life long profession caring for others, first at Marzloff Nursing Home. &nbsp;She then went on to work at Memorial Hospital as a scrub nurse, aiding in the delivery of many babies. &nbsp;Donna worked at several clinics in the medical records department, before beginning a job as a hostess at the Lincoln Highway Diner, where she worked until her retirement in 2015.

Family was always Donna’s number one priority. &nbsp;She loved her kids, grandkids, and great grandkids fiercely. &nbsp;She enjoyed several different hobbies including bingo, watching cooking shows, and playing cards, specifically poker. &nbsp;Anyone that knew Donna, knew she was dedicated to the Nebraska Huskers and loved to show her patriotic side with the décor outside and insider her home. &nbsp;Donna was always outgoing and friendly and made friends everywhere she went. &nbsp;Several years ago, her residential road needed a name and she offered up “Friendly Lane” and the neighborhood agreed. &nbsp;A special mention to Mary Stoddard, her neighbor and very best friend.

Those that survive Donna include her husband, Richard of 67 years; daughters, Joyce (Sam Trent) Perkins, and Lisa Pierson; grandkids, Kendra Grove, Tammy Titchen, Patricia Broeder, Ricky Titchen, Kortni (Tusten Golter) Pierson, Trent Pierson, Trey Pierson; great grand kids, Isaiah Storonskij, EmmaLee Storonskij, Taila Cochren, Alexis Grove, Cody Titchen; siblings, Robert “Bob” Thrash, and Penny (Gary) Stephens; neighbors and close friends, Larry and Mary Stoddard; several other nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Preceding her in death are her parents, Vern and Liona; parents-in-law, Dell and Margaret Alice Perkins; grandparents, Claude and Fern Clement; daughter, Cheryl Stoller; siblings, Bonnie Federson, Larry Mahone, Jim Thrash, Mark Hamell, and Mick Hamell.
