Andy Stieb (1945-2023)

Emiliano Calmo Sabillon, of Cozad, Nebraska, passed away unexpectedly at the young age of three, on Monday, June 5, 2023, at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha.

He was born on July 27, 2019, in Lexington, Nebraska to Policarpio Calmo Calmo and Naidaly Sabillon. Emiliano’s larger-than-life personality was apparent from the day he was born. He was a very curious child and was always ready for an adventure. He loved spending time with his dad and uncle, going on nighttime fishing trips with his Paw Patrol fishing kit in his hands.&nbsp;

He was a farm boy at heart. His favorite place to be was on the farm with his family. He loved being around the animals and taking care of his white chickens, learning how to incubate eggs, and hand delivering fresh eggs to his friends and family. If you knew Emiliano, you knew how important his cowboy boots meant to him, he wore them whether it was blazing hot outside or freezing cold. He was also an incredible helper, whether it was helping grandma with the farm animals, or helping his grandpa with gardening.

Emiliano created special bonds with everyone he met. He spent a lot of time at his grandparent’s food truck, where he was always asking for al pastor tacos without the tortilla, extra lime and tomatoes. The food truck is where he got the chance to start conversations with everyone. He was always observing and absorbing every detail in life around him. His parents often described him as an angel walking on earth. He showed those around him what it truly meant to live and love to the fullest. Memories shared with Emiliano will always be cherished. His infectious smile and contagious laugh will be greatly missed.

Those left to cherish his memory are his parents, Policarpio Calmo and Naidaly Sabillon; sister, Camila Calmo Sabillon; grandparents, Rosa Calmo Ramirez and Tomas Calmo Lucas, Blanca Lara, Rodrigo Morales, and Oscar Sabillon; uncles, Mauricio (Cecilia) Calmo, Faustino (Santa) Calmo, Jonathan (Stephanie) Sabillon, Gael Sabillon and Itiel Sabillon, and Omar (Mariela) Guerra; aunts, Susana Calmo and Beberlin (Abraham) Sabillon; cousins, Faustino, Tomas, Adriana, Emanuel, Francisco, and Melissa Calmo. Mariano Cruz, Carolina, Adrian, and Shirel Sabillon, and Bryanna Guerra, as well as numerous, nieces, nephews and many, many friends.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Tuesday, June 13, 2023, at 12:00 p.m. at St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Lexington with Father Jose Chavez, officiating.

Visitation will be held on Monday, June 12, 2023, from 4-7 p.m. at St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Lexington with a Rosary to follow at 7 p.m.

Interment will be held at Evergreen Cemetery in Lexington following Mass.

Memorials are kindly suggested to the family for later designation.

&nbsp; Emmagene "Jean" Tjaden, 89, former Brule resident, passed away June 6, 2023, at Great Plains Health in North Platte. Jean was born September 29, 1933, at Atwood, Kansas, to Floyd and Paulina Mosher. The family moved around Kansas throughout her childhood, though she grew up primarily in Herndon, Kansas. On October 14, 1951, Jean married Robert "Bob" Tjaden. They welcomed six children: Barb, Randy, Ronnah, Pam, Jeanie, and Kevin. The family initially resided in Grainton before establishing a home on the farm at Madrid. Later, they moved to Brule, where they lived for over six decades. Jean did many things over the years, but among the most rewarding was her work as a nurse aide at the hospital in Ogallala, where she helped in labor and delivery. Her own experience as a mother was invaluable to her as she helped new and expectant mothers over the years. Jean wasn't a socialite, but she enjoyed her time with her church family and LWMS friends. She was a woman of faith, both caring and nurturing. Jean loved spending time in her garden and working on her flowers. She enjoyed ceramics and sewing. Jean also loved to fish whenever she got the chance, a hobby she loved to share with family, friends, or whoever was willing to go along with her! She enjoyed the occasional shopping trip or gambling stop, but two days was usually her limit before it was time to come home. Jean was preceded in death by her husband, Bob, in 1997; and her siblings: Wesley, Dorothy, and Gladys. Survivors include her children, Barb (Tim) Jimenez of Ogallala, Randy Tjaden of Madrid, Ronnah (Chris) Hernandez of Fort Morgan, Colorado, Pam Tjaden of Windsor, Colorado, Jeanie Tiltscher, Kevin (Judi) Tjaden of Brule; 17 grandchildren; 44 great-grandchildren; 16 great-great-grandchildren with two more on the way; her sister Vi Tjaden of North Platte; along with many other relatives and friends.

LaVonne Gail Jaeger (1951-2023) 

Harvey J. Kenfield, age 95, of Ogallala, passed away peacefully at his home on June 5, 2023.

Harvey and his twin brother Howard were born on March 6, 1928, at Albion, Nebraska, to John and Ella (Fritzen) Kenfield. Harvey graduated from Brule High School in 1946. The call of duty followed shortly after, and Harvey was drafted into the US Army, where he served in Korea.

Upon his return, Harvey worked at TRW for 42 years until his retirement in 1988.

On October 12, 1974, Harvey married Glenda Lee Stephenson in Grant, Nebraska. By that union, Harvey gained two children, Scott and Melinda.

The bond between Harvey and his twin brother Howard was strong and enduring. Together they built several homes in the Ogallala area, including a beautiful residence for their mother. The brothers were meticulous in the upkeep of their properties, presenting beautifully landscaped and well-manicured yards.

Harvey and Howard's artistic talents shone brightly in their unique collection of Indian artifacts, Petrified Wood, and other rare artifacts. Their appreciation for the Midwest and its old barns inspired them to create Petrified Wood Pictures and Music Boxes, contributing to a collection that can only be described as a world-class marvel.

The brothers' artistic journey culminated in establishing the Kenfield Petrified Wood Gallery in 2000, with Harvey and Howard donating their personal collection of artwork to the gallery. His passion for collecting remained undiminished for over 65 years, earning him the respect and admiration of fellow artists and collectors. The brothers' legacy continues to be appreciated by the community through their generous contributions to the Gallery, which is now managed by a non-profit organization they formed.

Harvey was preceded in death by his wife, Glenda; his step-children, Scott Ross, and Melinda Beckler; four sisters, Dorothy (Max) Sanford, Donna (Clarence) Burnside, Ruby (Leslie) Edwards, and Margaret (Hubert) LeZotte; as well as a brother, Robert (Helen) Kenfield; a sister-in-law Glenva Kenfield; Nephews Norman Burnside, Steve Edwards and his twin brother, Howard Kenfield, in March of 2023.

Survivors include his brother-in-law Melvin Stephenson of Kearney, a son-in-law Gary Beckler of Grant, his granddaughter Cori (Chris) Williams of Ogallala, along with four great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

Memorials are suggested to the Petrified Wood Gallery or GracePoint Church in Harvey's memory.

David A. Wellman, 73, of Cozad, Nebraska passed away on Sunday, June 4, 2023 at his home and is now at peace after a hard fought battle with illness.

He was born on January 20, 1950 in Santa Cruz, California, to Martin J. and Lois E. (Wiest) Wellman. At an early age his family moved to Ogallala, Nebraska. David attended public schools in Ogallala and graduated from Ogallala High School with the class of 1968.&nbsp;

Following high school, David enlisted in the United States Navy on September 25, 1969 and proudly served his country during the Vietnam War, where he spent nearly 18 months. He was honorably discharged on April 29, 1975.

David was united in marriage to the love of his life, Anne Galaviz on January 21, 1975 in Kearney, Nebraska. Two sons were blessed to this union: Zachary and Jesse. The family made their home in Ogallala for a few years where David put up Grain Bins.

Betty Lou Kenton (1926-2023)

Brad Burke, 62, of Cozad, Nebraska, formerly of Brady, passed away peacefully with his loved ones by his side on February 25, 2023 at Bryan East in Lincoln, NE.

Brad worked with his father running their own business in Brady until his dad’s death. Then for over 20 years he worked in school maintenance.&nbsp;

Brad was a simple man who, although he left us too soon, lived a fulfilling life and will be remembered by many people in so many ways. Brad kept his faith in the Lord through all of life’s celebrations and hardships. He enjoyed spending time with his kids and grandkids any chance he was given. The best times of his life were being a part of his children's sports and other activities. He loved to go fishing and couldn’t wait for hunting season to begin. Brad’s favorite time of the year was spring because he could get his hands back in the dirt and start landscaping. During his many times of rehabilitation and healing, he remained positive, faithful and had no trouble finding hobbies that expressed his creativity. Brad had unmeasurable skills and talents but he enjoyed painting, drawing, and craftsmanship the most.

Many would say he was one of the hardest workers they knew and would give the shirt on his back to anyone that needed it. You never heard Brad complain about anything, no matter how difficult or painful. He was the guy you called when you needed help with a project or something needed fixed. If you didn’t have a project, he would find one for you. Brad may have been a man of few words but he was the best listener when you needed to talk, not to mention he gave some of the best hugs. He had a way of making you smile regardless of how upset or sad you were. A friend to all ages - it didn’t matter who you were, he never met a stranger. Brad touched the lives of so many and left a legacy of genuine love and kindness that he would want the rest of us to carry on in the world.&nbsp;

He is survived by his best friend and lifelong partner Sandy Burke of Cozad, NE; sons Keifer Burke of Brady, NE and Sawyer Burke of Cozad, NE; daughter Maggie Burke of Omaha, NE; grandson Theron Burke; granddaughter Charli Burke; brothers Tim (Julia) Burke of Doniphan, NE, Dave (Valerie) Burke of Brady, NE; sister Connie (Harry) Stienike of Brady, NE; and many nieces and nephews.&nbsp;

A Celebration of Life will be held 10:30 am, Saturday, June 10, 2034 at The Crossing Fellowship, Gothenburg, NE with Pastor Eric Most officiating.

Memorials may be given to family at the following address and will go towards the youth of Brady, specifics will be announced at the celebration of life.

Vaughn W. King (1946-2023)

Jennetta Schwartzkopf, 74, of Ogallala, Nebraska, passed away on June 2, 2023, at the Ogallala Community Hospital.

Born on July 14, 1948, in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, Jennetta was the daughter of Wilbert and Emma Aschenbrenner Schnieder. She proudly graduated from Scottsbluff High School with the class of 1966. In 1970, she married John Schwartzkopf, a union blessed with two children: Tania and Matt.

During her time in Scottsbluff, Jennetta wore many hats: she served as a candy striper, worked for the phone company, and contributed her skills at Lockwood Corporation prior to working at the Scottsbluff Inn. She also spent time with KNEB radio in sales. After her marriage ended, she moved to Ogallala with her children in 1987. There, she held positions at the Stage Coach Inn as Assistant Manager and Catering Manager before finding her niche in sales at Nebraska Cellular. She truly enjoyed her work and was passionate about her career.

Jennetta will be fondly remembered for her wonderful sense of humor. Always ready with a joke, her sarcastic wit could spark laughter and lightness in any gathering. She enjoyed indulging her sweet tooth with desserts and held a special place in her heart for Bucerias, Mexico, a place she loved to visit whenever the opportunity arose.

A classy lady through and through, Jennetta took great pleasure in gardening and tending to her flowerbeds. Her talent extended into the kitchen, where she showcased her love for good food, especially German cuisine. Her signature dishes – Texas sheet cake, blackberry cobbler, dumplings, cabbage burgers, and more – were especially loved and savored by her family.

Jennetta was preceded in death by her parents, her life companion Bill Hines, and the father of her children, John Schwartzkopf.

Survivors include her children, Tania (Chad) Perlinger, Matt (Melissa) Schwartzkopf, all of Ogallala; her cherished grandchildren, Dakota (Reese) West, Austin Clough, Sadie (Wendell) Stephens, Samantha Schwartzkopf, John Schwartzkopf, and Ethan Skalsky; great-grandchildren, Stetson and Tilden Stephens, and Bailey West. She is also survived by her brothers, Stan Schnieder (Jo) of Buffalo, WY, and David Schneider of Phoenix, AZ, along with many other relatives and friends.

A memorial has been established in her memory for later designation. Condolences may be shared at prairiehillsfuneralhome.com, where the services will be streamed live.

A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, June 7, 2023, at 10 AM at Prairie Hills Funeral Home Chapel in Ogallala, with Pastor Jon Dickmander officiating. No inurnment is planned at this time.
