Family and friends can leave condolences at <a href="https://www.bondegardfunerals.com/obituaries/ruby-rittenhouse">www.bondegardfunerals.com</a>.

Ruby Deane (Younger) Rittenhouse was born on September 23, 1927, in Elbert County, Colorado to Bruce E. and Cora D. Younger. She began life in a log home in the pine forest east of Monument, Colorado. When she was five, she became big sister to a set of twins, Norman and Norma. When she started school, her mother would walk her through the forest to a one-room school. Later she would attend elementary school in Monument and graduate from Palmer-Lewis High School, also in Monument.&nbsp;

After graduating high school, she worked in an office at Fort Carson where she met Army Tech Sgt. Dallas Rittenhouse. They were married in Colorado Springs on April 21, 1946, and moved to a farm/ranch near Lewellen, Nebraska where they spent their married life and raised a family. To this union four children were born: Dianne, Dennis, James and Judy.

As a farm wife, Ruby was instrumental in providing for the family by helping on the ranch, raising chickens to butcher and a large garden, canning and freezing produce. Eventually she conscripted four extra sets of hands to help in those processes. Who can forget plucking stinky wet feathers from countless chickens or spending hot summer days on hands and knees pulling weeds from garden rows or picking potato bugs from a hundred potato plants. She was a wonderful cook and made so many tasty meals from her home-grown products. Ruby was also an excellent seamstress, sewing draperies for her home and clothing for herself and her daughters including prom and wedding dresses.

In addition to working for a number of years at the Lewellen Grocery, Ruby was an active member of her community. She became a leader for a local 4-H club for many years, instructing 4-Hers learning to sew, cook, bake, and create proper table setting. She even mentored boys through a couple levels of entomology, the collection, study and identification of insects. When she was widowed, she joined a student mentoring program in the schools. Some of her mentees kept in touch with her for years. She joined the Giving Bee Quilting Group, making hundreds of quilts for children in foster care programs. In 2014 the group was recognized as the Outstanding Volunteer Group of the year by the First Lady of Nebraska, Sally Ganem.

&nbsp;Ruby is survived by children, Dianne (Rich) Kleist, Dennis (Sherrill, dec.) Rittenhouse, Jim Rittenhouse and Kae Carlson and Judy (Barney) Steger; Grandchildren, Lindsay (Travis) Anderson, Dennis (Bryan) Bond, Jennifer (Andrew) Moskowitz, Lisa Rittenhouse, Colton (Angela) Yauk, and Victor Yauk. Great grandchildren include Blake and Sutton Anderson, Madison, Gabriel and Joshua Moskowitz, Wyatt, Carter and Nevaeh Yauk, Adalynn Yauk, and Felicity and Cecily Rittenhouse; Sister, Norma Lavelett and many nieces and nephews.

&nbsp;Ruby was preceded in death by husband Dallas, parents Bruce and Cora Younger, daughter-in-law Sherrill Rittenhouse, brother Norman Younger, brother-in-law Ralph Lavelett and all of Dallas’s siblings and spouses.

&nbsp;Her children fondly remember her reading books to them in the evenings and the family sitting around the kitchen table playing rather intense games of Monopoly. One perhaps little-known fact is that Ruby was an absolute card shark at Pitch and Pinochle games and a master of Cribbage right up to the week she died. They will miss her very much.

Ruby Rittenhouse (1927-2024)

Marietta Marilyn Perlinger was born August 1, 1937, the 13th child and youngest born to John and Maggie (Kowalski) Mazankowski at the rural Litchfield family farm in Sherman County, Nebraska.

Marietta attended the Scott Center, District 63, School in Rural Sherman County starting at the age of 4. She graduated from Litchfield High School in 1953 at the age of 15 and then, that fall, began teaching at the same Scott Center School she attended as a child. She had three students. After a year of teaching, she moved to Kearney, Nebraska, where she roomed with her sister Dorothy and was employed at various jobs.

Marietta met the love of her life, Francis Perlinger, in August of 1956, and they were married on January 26, 1957, at Saint Gabrielle's Catholic Church in Hazard, Nebraska. They made their home in rural Perkins County, Nebraska.

They were blessed with two adopted children, Michael Joseph in 1961 and Susan Marie in 1963. Marietta's life was busy raising her children, attending household chores, and aiding in the business of farming and church work. As the children grew, she was able to work alongside her lifelong friend, Phyllis Theiler, in Elsie, Nebraska, at the Wheatland Elementary School as a cook. They served many students delicious meals along with smiles and hugs. The two were a fixture behind the glass of the kitchen counter for many years and are fondly remembered by the students.

As the years went by, Marietta enjoyed spending time spoiling her five grandchildren with love, backrubs, and homemade goodies of all kinds. She also enjoyed challenging them to rowdy games of Pitch around her kitchen table. She later played Bridge with several card groups in Elsie, Grant, and Paxton, Nebraska.

Marietta moved to Grant in November 2006 and enjoyed small-town life, walking to the Post Office and visiting with friends and neighbors, including special neighbors DeeAnn and Bob Tatum.

In October of 2021, Marietta moved into Parkridge Assisted Living in Grant and continued enjoying visits with family and friends.

She moved to Bethseda Gardens Memory Care Center in Loveland, Colorado in June of 2023 to be close to her daughter, Susan. They shared many great times together in her final months here before Marietta received her welcome home to God's heavenly kingdom.

Marietta passed away peacefully in her sleep on Sunday, September 8, 2024. She had reached the age of 87.

In addition to her parents, Marietta was preceded in death by her husband, Francis, in 2010, two infant brothers, two brothers, and eight sisters.

She is survived by one son Michael and wife Lori of rural Elsie, Nebraska and one daughter, Susan McLaughlin of Loveland, Colorado; five grandchildren, Mary Leiker and husband Ken, Matthew McLaughlin and wife Laura, Anne Ollanketto and husband A.J., Traci Dieckmann and husband Tyler and Lindsey Cunningham and husband Logan; 12 great-grandchildren, and many other relatives and friends.

A memorial has been established in Marietta's memory for later designation. Condolences may be shared at <a href="https://www.bullocklongfuneralhome.com/obituaries/marietta-perlinger">bullocklongfuneralhome.com</a>

Marietta Perlinger (1937-2024)

Alan David Suhr, 53, of Ogden, Utah, passed away August 11, 2024. Born on March 26, 1971, to Dr. Lyle and Karen (Nordwall) Suhr, Alan lived a life marked by passion, service, and a deep commitment to others.

Alan exemplified the importance of thinking of others – a core value that defined his character. He had the ability to connect with people from all walks of life, making everyone feel like a lifelong friend. Throughout his school years and professional life, he was known for his kindness, empathy, and ability to bring joy to those around him.

His journey led him to study Chinese Medicine in Santa Cruz, where he discovered his passion for healing through acupuncture, herbs, and holistic practices. His daily practices included Qigong, Kung Fu, meditation, and journaling – always striving to find peace and clear his mind of negativity.

Alan was a devoted father to his son, Caspian. He was thoughtful, deliberate, and always put Caspian first, ensuring that his son experienced the full wonder of childhood. Alan limited screen time and instead encouraged reading, outdoor adventures, and meaningful conversations. They shared countless beautiful moments — reading stories, playing games, sledding, skiing, swimming, camping, and exploring nature together. Alan promised Caspian that when it was time to go to heaven, he would watch over him and send his love.

Alan was an avid music lover, hiker, adventurer, and admirer of nature. His life was a beautiful example of love, curiosity, and kindness. A true free spirit, Alan traveled with the Rainbow Family, lived in his VW bus at times, and prioritized the welfare of others over material possessions. Alan lived fully, embracing every opportunity with an open heart and a dedication to serving others. He touched countless lives with his compassionate spirit, humor, and warmth.

He is survived by his son, Caspian Suhr; father, Lyle Suhr; sister, Kristin Suhr; nephew and niece, Trey and Karenna; and several aunts, uncles and cousins. Alan’s passing leaves an irreplaceable void in the hearts of all who knew him, yet they find comfort in the cherished memories and enduring love they shared. Alan is remembered as a remarkable man who made the world a brighter, better place.

Memorials may be sent to the family for future designation.

A Service to Celebrate Alan’s life will be held Saturday, September 21, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. at Arnold Baptist Church, with a meal and reception to follow. The service will be livestreamed at www.govierbrothers.com.

Lisa Kay Waterman, 55, of Ogallala, Nebraska, passed away on Thursday, September 5, 2024, at the Medical Center of Aurora after a three-week battle with cancer.

Lisa was born to Mike and Kathy (Tex) Smithberg on August 23, 1969 in Omaha, Nebraska. After high school, Lisa married Scott Glinn, and together, they had a daughter, Kelli. Later, they divorced, and she married Chad Waterman, and they had two boys together, Seth and Laine.

Lisa always had a love for animals and that gift stayed with her throughout her lifetime. With a love for dogs, she went to work at Cloverleaf Dog Track in Loveland, Colorado, until it was closed. She then moved back to Ogallala and went to work at the Perkins County Veterinary Hospital in 2012 as a dog groomer. Throughout this job, she met many clients who became close friends. In 2023, she decided to start her own business, Bubbles &amp; Biscuits Mobile Pet Salon, which grew rapidly successful. She absolutely loved working with all the dogs. She also had found other passions and adventures in the last couple of years with her best friend, Cody Stickley. They would go antler shed hunting in the spring. They would also go out and find arrowheads, rocks, and other artifacts. She enjoyed polishing the rocks they would find and collect. She has always been an outdoor person, but in the last few years, it has been her place of peace. When she wasn't outside, you could find her inside watching and rooting for her favorite football team, the New Orleans Saints.

She is preceded in death by her father, Mike Smithberg; grandfather, Clarence Tex; grandparents, Mable and Bill Palmer, and Kenny Smithberg.

She is survived by her mother, Kathy Smithberg; best/special friend, Cody Stickley; daughter, Kelli (Travis) Demilt; sons, Seth (McKenzie) Waterman and Laine (Morgan) Waterman; sisters, Dawn (JD) Peterson, Lacey McAvoy, and Heather (Ryan) Roath; grandchildren, Josi and Cayzan Demilt, Sage Waterman, and Ryder Waterman; life-long friend, Randy Schlem; and many other family and friends.

Marlene Jeanne Peregrine (1936-2024)

&nbsp; On Sunday, September 8, 2024, Donald Wayne Fleecs peacefully passed away at his home in Sutherland.&nbsp; He was 91 years old.

Don, the son of Charles and Alice (Rourke) Fleecs, was born in Sutherland on February 11, 1933.&nbsp; He attended country school then Sutherland High School, graduating in 1950.&nbsp; Don farmed with his father for three years before being inducted into the U.S. Army.&nbsp; After his honorable discharge in 1955 Don returned home.&nbsp; He continued farming, earned his private pilot's license, and was owner/operator of Fleecs Brothers Trucking with his brother "PeeWee".

On December 29, 1956, Don married&nbsp; Peggy Ann Priel at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Sutherland.&nbsp; They were blessed with six children and 62 years of marriage.&nbsp; The family lived south of town until 1965 when they built their forever home just west of the church.

He was active in the Sutherland community and the church.&nbsp; Don served on the school board for 15 years, Twin Valley Co-Op for 25 years, and Sutherland Rodeo Committee for 34 years.&nbsp; He also served on the Sutherland Co-Op, fire district, Chamber of Commerce, 4-H Council, Lincoln County Extension Board, American Legion and Knights of Columbus.&nbsp; More notably, Don was District 3 Lincoln County Commissioner from 1993-2002.

Don was a farmer, loving husband, and a good father and grandfather.&nbsp; He and Peggy enjoyed traveling; their most memorable trip was to Italy where they met Pope Francis.&nbsp; After Peggy passed away in 2019 Don anxiously awaited their reunion but in the mean time, he stuck to his routines, was independent and a bit stubborn. 

Don was known to many around town as "Tiger" or "Chief" and could often be seen picking up cans while riding his scooter downtown to mingle with the town folk and tell his stories. Then, as his health declined, he took up residence at The Maples at Centennial in North Platte in 2023 and looked forward to visiting his home on the weekends.&nbsp; Before returning to The Maples, Don would pick flowers from Peggy's garden to give to the girls when he got back.&nbsp; And a passion of Don's was dancing- he was always looking for a dance partner at The Maples.

Dolores A Robertson (1930-2024)

Faith Santo Hanzal, 97, of Stapleton, Nebraska, passed away on September 7, 2024 at Linden Court in North Platte, Nebraska. Beloved only daughter of Frank Lee Santo and Cecyle Leila (Hamm) Santo, Faith was born in her grandparent’s sod house west of Stapleton on October 4, 1926. &nbsp;

Riding on horseback to attend a country school in northwest Logan County, Faith completed the 8th grade there, and then for two years she attended high school at the University of Nebraska School of Agriculture at Curtis. She then moved to Stapleton, living with the Teichert family, and graduated from Stapleton High School in 1944. &nbsp;Continuing her education at Kearney State Teachers College in Nebraska, she received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology and Home Economics in 1950. Faith met her future husband, Joseph Hanzal, in a history class at Kearney. On July 8, 1950, Faith Lee and Joseph A. Hanzal were united in marriage at the First Presbyterian Church in Kearney, and from that union were born three daughters: &nbsp;Beverly Jeanette, Amy Elizabeth, and Carla Marie. Faith and Joe both taught school at Hayes Center, Nebraska, for two years and at Gresham, Nebraska for four years. &nbsp;

In 1956, Faith and Joe returned to the family ranch, Santo Land and Cattle Company, in northwest Logan County. The ranch began as a Kinkaid Homestead acquired by her father, and the young Hanzal family answered the calling of stewardship for the Sandhills, wildlife, water, and cattle. Returning to the ranch came naturally to Faith, and for 49 years she and Joe worked tirelessly to improve the ranch and cattle. &nbsp;As a girl, Faith had enthusiastically helped her father with feeding cattle, checking wells, and milking cows. She vividly recalled the 1934 drought, when the ranch received a massive herd of starving cattle from Kansas. Shipped by rail to Gandy, the cattle were driven north to the Sandhills, where the ranch’s abundant water saved the cattle, whose coats were thickly encrusted with dirt. The north side of Faith’s home was black with flies escaping the heat, and she and her mother shooed them with dishcloths, as they prepared the food for the hired help that built fences, moved the cattle, and tended pumpjack engines that ensured constant streams of water. The dusty winds that blew that year deposited new seeds, ultimately improving the ranch’s forage. &nbsp;

Faith’s childhood also included some remarkable adventures with her mother’s family, including attending the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair and viewing the original 1939 screening of The Wizard of Oz at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles.

Known for her love of birds and chickens, Faith had a particular affinity for winged creatures. Migrating butterflies would see the beacon of Faith’s flower garden. She and Joe awoke one fall morning to see the cedar tree ablaze with thousands of monarchs. &nbsp;

Faith’s heart radiated with joy and gratitude. &nbsp;She loved her family and remained eager to hear all the news about her grandchildren. She was devoted to her community and dedicated her life to service. &nbsp;She loved to visit, and could usually determine how she might be related or know someone who was connected to you in some way. &nbsp;Faith had a particular gift for gardening and feeding people abundant meals. She remained devoted to her community throughout her life and participated in the Presbyterian Church Lifeboat Mariners, Lone Valley Extension Club, Farm Bureau, Sunshine Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star, Nebraska Cattle Women, and VFW Women’s Auxiliary, and was a member of the Cornerstone Presbyterian Church.

Faith was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, an infant brother, Greyson Ray, and granddaughter Rachel Denise Johnson.

She is survived by daughters, Beverly (Gregg) Johnson, Amy (Mostafa) Kashi, Carla (David) Hanzal; grandchildren, Holly (Bobby) Graves, Kari (Shawn) Gerber, Michael Johnson, Evan, Ryan and Alex Kashi, and Helena Hanzal Childress; and great-grandchildren, Ryder, River and Rikely Graves.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Stapleton Splash Pad Fund, the Logan County 4H Council or the Crane Trust.

Memorial services will be held at 11:00 A.M., Friday, September 13, 2024 at Cornerstone Presbyterian Church, Stapleton, Nebraska. &nbsp;Rev Mark Rohrback will be officiating. &nbsp;Burial will be at 2:00 P.M. following lunch, at the McCain Cemetery, Stapleton, Nebraska. &nbsp;Visitation will be from noon-7:00 P.M. on Thursday with family receiving friends from 5-7 at Adams &amp; Swanson Funeral Home who is assisting the family.
