George Lee Wurm (1940-2023)

Ray Lee Balderson was born May 29, 1930, to Lee Ray Balderson and Edith Arillia (Delaney) Balderson and left this life on October 21, 2023. Ray lived all but the last four years of his life within five miles of Benkelman. He attended elementary and high school in Benkelman graduating in 1948. He married Eleanor Maxine Herrick on August 4, 1957. To this union four children were born: Tamara Rae in 1958, Kevin Lee in 1960, Shauna Marie in 1962, and Darren Ray in 1964. He was a life-long member of the United Methodist church. While in high school, Ray joined the United Methodist church choir and continued singing for another 35 years as a soloist and with the men’s quartet for many, many local funerals. It is Ray’s love of music that prompted him to have a celebration of life with lots of singing.

Ray’s love of music was also apparent in how much he loved to dance. Whether this was dancing with Maxine on the country roads while waiting for the irrigation sprinklers to come to the manual stop position or square dancing on Saturday nights or teaching round dancing at the District 66 one-room schoolhouse. He was thrilled to teach his kids and grandkids how to waltz before their first school dances and continued to dance with them at their weddings.

Ray served Benkelman and Dundy County in many volunteer and service roles. He spent nine years on the Dundy County Extension Board with six of those years as the Chairman. He led the Dandy Dundy 4-H clubs specifically those for Beef, Rope Knot Tying, and Electricity. He was a life-long member of the Masonic Lodge for more than 70 years serving as the Grand Master in 1969 and again from 2016 – 2019. He was appointed to the Nebraska Ethanol Authority and Development Board by Governor Ben Nelson from 1992 to 1996. He was a board member and Chairman of the Chase/Dundy County Wheat Growers Association. He was a board member and Vice President of the Nebraska Wheat Growers Association. Ray helped organize the Southwest Nebraska Resource Conservation and Development Board and served as its first President.

Ray and Maxine made their living on the farm which was homesteaded by his grandfather in 1895 and additional acreages purchased over the years. He took pride in raising certified seed wheat, corn, alfalfa, and purebred Charolais cattle. Ray also enjoyed delivering flowers for Flower Magic, the floral business that Maxine ran for almost 25 years. In his spare time, he enjoyed being a member of the Elra Gun Club where his team won several trophies. His most satisfying hobby was refurbishing his John Deere tractor collection and giving rides to family members big and small on the coveted Model 40 Crawler tractor. In their later years, Ray and Maxine enjoyed helping look after their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Many memories were made taking the kids camping, boating, and teaching them to fish. In 2010, Ray was selected as a finalist for Nebraska Father of the Year. His family loved him dearly.

Ray is preceded in death by his parents, daughter, Tamara, nephew, Jim, brother-in-law, Ronnie, and sister-in-law, Rea. Ray is survived by Maxine, his wife of 66 years, children Kevin (Diane), Shauna, Darren (Melinda), nine grandkids, twelve great grandkids, brother Frank (Betty), brother-in-law, Roger (Jackie), sisters-in-law Patsy (Tom), and Joyce (Don), nephews and nieces, his farming neighbors, and his new neighbors at the Landing.

Visitation will be held Thursday October 26, from 5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. at Benkelman memorial chapel. A funeral service will be held Friday, October 27 10:30 A.M at United Methodist Church in Benkelman with Reverend Art Williams officiating. Interment to follow at the Benkelman Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to Maxine Balderson for a designation later.

Darlyne (Hazen) Lindly, born October 28, 1938, in Milburn, Nebraska, left this world on October 16, 2023, in Omaha, Nebraska surrounded by the love of her family and friends. She was a remarkable woman with a heart as vast as the Nebraska prairies she called home.&nbsp;

Darlyne's journey through life was an inspiring one. She began her education in Sargent, Nebraska, and her senior year saw her move and graduate from Merna High School in 1956. Following her high school years, she pursued her passion for beauty and attended Cosmetology School in Grand Island, where she honed her skills and embarked on a career that would touch the lives of many.&nbsp;

Darlyne's career as a cosmetologist took her to various salons in Ord, Valentine, and Broken Bow. She had an innate talent for making people feel their best, inside, and out. Her warm and welcoming nature was not limited to her professional life; it extended to her personal life as well.&nbsp;

It was while working at Becton-Dickinson in Broken Bow that Darlyne's life took a momentous turn. It was here that she crossed paths with Robert "Bob" Lindly, and the two hearts were united in matrimony on October 14, 1972, and made their home in Anselmo. Their union brought two precious daughters into the world, Brenda and Jennifer, and their family became the center of Darlyne's world.&nbsp;

Through the years, Darlyne wore many hats. She was a dedicated and loving mother and farmer's wife, always there for her daughters and her beloved Bob. Whether she was attending her girls' activities or preparing lunch for Bob and his team, her love knew no bounds. She had an open heart and a welcoming home, where everyone was embraced as a part of her extended family.&nbsp;

In 2016, Darlyne and Bob made the decision to move to Omaha, wanting to be closer to their daughters and grandsons; they were her world! &nbsp;This move marked a new chapter in their lives, and Darlyne continued to radiate warmth and friendship. She formed new bonds and cherished the precious moments spent with her grandsons, and they with her. This time was a treasure for all those lucky enough to be a part of her life.&nbsp;

In 2018, Darlyne faced the heart-wrenching loss of her husband, Robert. His passing was a profound moment of grief, and Darlyne continued to carry his memory in her heart.&nbsp;

Darlyne's memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. Her legacy of generosity and unwavering love and support for her family and friends will continue to inspire and uplift all who were fortunate to have her touch their lives.&nbsp;

As we bid farewell to this extraordinary woman, we remember the indelible mark she left on the world. Darlyne's spirit will forever be a beacon of love, kindness, and the power of family bonds. May she rest in eternal peace.&nbsp;

Throughout her life Darlyne was a member of the United Methodist Church of Anselmo. She was also involved in many clubs and activities including but not limited to United Methodist Women, Eastern Star and The Rebekahs.&nbsp;

Darlyne is survived by her two daughters, Brenda Lindly and Jennifer Lindly and fiancé Lee Smith all of Omaha; grandsons, D'Angelo and Darius of Omaha; sister-in-law Helen Lindly of Anselmo; many loving nieces, nephews, great nieces, and nephews. Darlyne is proceeded in death by her husband Robert "Bob" Lindly; parents Marvin and Violet Hazen; brothers Douglas and Royle Hazen; father and mother-in-law Lloyd and Leona Lindly; sister and brother-in-law Joanne and Albert Hardy; brother-in-law Harold Lindly; and nephew Jerry Hardy.

Levaun "Sis" Beyer (1935-2023)

&nbsp;&nbsp; Gaylin Ray Hartzer, age 89, passed away on October 18, 2023 at Jefferson Community Health and Life Hospital in Fairbury, NE. &nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; Gaylin was born on April 21, 1934, to Willis and Inez (Cross) Hartzer on the farm in Dundy County, South of Wauneta, NE. &nbsp;He had one sister, Shirley, and two brothers, Wallace (Ace) and Harold (Duce). He graduated from Wauneta High School in 1952. &nbsp;He went to California to work at a milling company and joined the Army in 1956. &nbsp;He served for three years, mainly in Alaska, and then worked at Martin Missile in Castle Rock, Colorado. He returned to farming in Wauneta and married the love of his life, Loyann Taylor, on July 22, 1962 in Culbertson, NE. They were married for over 60 years until her death in September 2022. &nbsp;To this union four children were born: Gaylin Jr., Lorrie, Phillip and Kris.

&nbsp; &nbsp; Gaylin loved being a farmer. &nbsp;When asked what he would do if he won the lottery his response was “Put it into farming until I am broke again.” &nbsp;He supplemented his farm income by putting up television antennas, putting jacks in the Frenchman River, working at Wauneta Roller Mills and driving school bus for Wauneta Public School. He enjoyed many things during his lifetime besides farming. &nbsp;When he was a young man he enjoyed coyote hunting and was always telling people about those stories. &nbsp;He loved playing cards, among his favorites were gin rummy, pitch, pinochle, and cribbage. &nbsp;There were not too many nights that didn’t end with a game of rummy with Loyann. &nbsp;Another much enjoyed activity was softball – playing it in his younger days, umpiring as he got older and watching his granddaughters play at district and state in his later years. &nbsp;He enjoyed fishing and loved all the many dogs he owned throughout the years.

&nbsp; &nbsp; Anyone who knew Gaylin would say two things about him – he was ornery and he loved to sing. &nbsp;He was so ornery that he was known to many of the men in Wauneta as “Joker”, always playing tricks, trying to startle you, or making witty replies. He sang with his mom from a very young age and was still singing in his bed at the hospital. &nbsp;After Loyann’s passing he moved to Cedarwood Assisted living in Fairbury to be closer to his great-grandchildren. The people who came to know him at the assisted living facility in Fairbury would comment on how they loved to hear him sing. &nbsp;His positive outlook on life will be missed.&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; Gaylin is survived by his children, Gaylin Hartzer Jr. of McCook, NE, Lorrie (Mike) Hofstetter of Daykin, NE, Phillip (Lorretta) Hartzer of Colorado Springs, CO, and Kris (Chelle) Hartzer of Lawrenceville, GA.; Sister-in-laws, Eva Hartzer of Salem, OR, Beth Ann Hartzer and Linda Taylor both of McCook, NE; eight grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. &nbsp; He was preceded in death by wife, Loyann (Taylor) Hartzer; parents, Willis and Inez (Cross) Hartzer; brothers, Wallace and Harold Hartzer; sister, Shirley (Don) Miller; parents-in-law, Lloyd Taylor, Ann (Miller) and Carl Rieger.

&nbsp; &nbsp; Cremation was chosen and there will be no visitation. A celebration of life service will be held at Hermann-Jones Funeral Chapel in McCook at 10:30AM on Friday morning, October 27, 2023.&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; Memorials will be donated to the Humane Society. There will be a luncheon at the McCook Methodist Church after the ceremony. &nbsp;
