Larry A. Stubby (1951-2023)

Anna Mae Cool age 94 of Broken Bow, died June 16, 2023, at the Brookestone View in Broken Bow. &nbsp;

On March 3,1929, a special gift was given to Glenn and Opal Mae (Huffman) Cool. She was named Anna Mae. Weighing only 4 pounds at birth, she was not expected to live through the night. But God had other things in mind for her. She lived on the farm with her family and learned to milk cows and do other farm and household chores. &nbsp;Anna Mae remained living with her parents until she was 40 years of age, then entered Bethphage Mission at Axtell, NE. Here she learned to be more independent and also was given some training which she used when she left Axtell and moved to Holdrege. Anna Mae learned at the workshop how to weave rugs that were sold in that shop. She received a paycheck for her work, which she thought was a great new thing for her.

September 2014 she moved to Heritage Hall in Broken Bow so she would be close to her family. She loved this move. Anna Mae especially enjoyed the afternoon music entertainment. Her favorite song became “You Are My Sunshine.” Anna Mae then moved to Brookestone View. Everyone in Heritage Hall and Brookestone became her friend and she will be sadly missed by staff and residents as well as her family. Throughout her 94 years she always had a jigsaw puzzle going. If a puzzle included her favorite things, babies, animals, especially puppies and kitties, it was a bonus for sure. She enjoyed sitting in the common area where she could ‘meet and greet’ all who passed by the puzzle table.

AnnaMae went home to her family in heaven on June 16, 2023. She was preceded in death by her parents, brothers Laguene, Leroy, Karl, and sister Erma Rae Spanel. She is survived by sisters Wanda Ritchie and Shirley Howard, and brother Boyd (Mary Anne) and sister-in-law Letha Cool and a host of nieces and nephews.

Visitation at Govier Brothers Funeral Home will be from 1:00 to 7:00 p.m., Monday, June 19, with family in attendance from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Funeral services will be 2:00 p.m., Tuesday, June 20, 2023, at the Callaway Community Church, 705 East Stebbins, Callaway, NE, Pastor Dean Haidle officiating.

She was born February 6, 1925 in Omaha, NE, daughter of Hubert and Gladys (Hammond) Peckham and was brought home to the family's big farm house, where her great grandfather had settled in 1879. &nbsp;This has been home throughout her life.&nbsp; Margaret attended Lone Star School, then Gothenburg High School, graduating in 1942. &nbsp;She went on to Sioux Falls College in South Dakota for two years, then to Union College, Lincoln, NE taking the nursing program which included Boulder Sanitarium and Porter Hospital in Colorado. &nbsp;There were 15 young nurses who graduated in 1948 and they remained a close knit group through the years. &nbsp;Margaret was apparently the last to survive.

Margaret and Albert were members of the Seventh-Day Adventist church, holding many responsibilities including church treasurer for many years. &nbsp;Even in her last week she was determined to be at church.

Albert passed away in 2010, but she continued with the warm affection for her flowers and many kitty cats.

Survivors include sister, Mary Lou Peckham; five nieces, Carolyn Nelson, Jacque Shotkoski, Marilyn Hayes, Deea Peckham all of Lincoln, Barbara Devine of Phoenix, AZ; four nephews, Douglas Peckham of Gothenburg and David Peckham of Indianola, Kim Peckham of Lincoln, John M. Peckham of Burleson, TX.

Ronald Leo Tangeman, 83, of Callaway, Nebraska, passed away on Sunday, June 4, 2023 at CHI Health Good Samaritan in Kearney.

He was born on November 1, 1939, in Omaha, Nebraska to Noah and Agnes (Sopcich) Tangeman. He attended Ralston High School where he graduated with the class of 1957. In 1957, Ronald was united in marriage and to this union four children were born.&nbsp;

After graduation, Ron remained in Omaha where he worked for the Continental Can Company before enlisting in the United States Air Force in 1958, where he proudly served his country for four years. In 1962, he returned to Omaha to work for Swift Company and in 1966, transferred to Grand Island.&nbsp;

On September 7, 1983, Ron met and married his wife of 40 years, Peggy Land. They moved from Grand Island to Phillips, Nebraska, where they made their home. They lived in Phillips before moving to Kansas City where Ron worked as a foreman with the Federal Aviation Administration.

Ronald retired in 2000, moving to Callaway to be closer to family, but Ron and Peg’s wandering spirit didn’t allow them to stay in one place for too long. Their journey took them to Silver City, New Mexico, Mimbres, New Mexico, Las Palomas, New Mexico, before returning to Callaway for the summer months and spending their winters in Apache Junction, Arizona.

Ron loved the outdoors. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, hiking, and harvesting on his brothers-in-law’s farm.

Donald B Brown (1925-2023)

James Richard Bryan, loving husband, and father of two, grandfather of four, went to be with his Lord and Savior on March 15, 2023, at the age of 77. Jim was born on May 24, 1945, to Mabel (Zoerb) and Richard Bryan in San Luis Obispo, California. He grew up in the Callaway/Oconto, Nebraska area, raised by his mother and stepfather, Barney Ward.

Jim graduated from Callaway High School and then went on to get his Bachelors of Animal Science at the University of Nebraska. While at university, he met the love of his life, Dixie Miller. He always said that it would be a cold day in hell before he married and on December 28, 1968- it was, with three feet of snow on the ground and more coming down. They started their life together in Lincoln but soon moved to Cambridge, Nebraska as he got the position of Ag Representative Loan Officer at the First National Bank. After banking, he began farming and ranching with Dixie’s father in Wilsonville, Nebraska. He did this for many years enjoying what he had grown up with. He moved his family to Lexington, Nebraska in the late 80’s, where he once again worked as a loan officer at American charter then at IBP/Tyson working in quality control before finally retiring.

Jim always loved horses and had many throughout his life, at one time having 35. He and Dixie enjoyed raising paint and quarter horses, selling them all over the country and even to Mexico. He definitely loved horse trading and made many friends doing so. He was involved in several horse related activities/ hobbies throughout his life as well. He was a 4-H leader, member of the Wilsonville Saddle club, and the Plum Creekers Riding Club. He participated in the 1993 re-ride of the Pony Express and enjoyed many trail rides, horse shows and horse sales, several times to the Denver Stock show. Jim was a cowboy. Rarely was he seen without his boots, hat, and belt complete with a nice buckle. He had quite the collection of all these items and enjoyed sharing his hobby of collecting with his children and grandchildren.

Jim’s kindness and sense of humor were evident in his life and for which he will best be remembered- he never knew a stranger. He and Dixie opened their home and hearts to many a person who needed a little help on their life journey. The positive influence he had on all who knew him and the love and laughter he created with the jokes he told will be his legacy.

Jim is preceded in death by his mother, Mabel, stepfather, Barney, biological father, Richard, parents-in-law, RV and Ellen, sister-in-law, Nancy and brothers-in-law, Darrel, Craig and Joel.

He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Dixie of Oconto; daughter, Heather (James) Drummond of Dexter, MI; son, Clifford (Cristy) Bryan of Oconto; his beloved grandchildren, Hannah, Noah, Corin, and Caleb; his sisters-in-law, Marlene and Joanne, as well as many cousins, nieces, nephews and a host of friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, June 24, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. at the Callaway Community Church in Callaway, Nebraska.

Inurnment will be held on Saturday, June 24, 2023, at the Oconto Cemetery in Oconto, Nebraska.

Vincent D Sis (1936-2023)

Vickie L. Williams, 66, of Ogallala, passed away on June 13, 2023, at Kearney Regional Hospital.

Vickie was born on July 10, 1956, in Ogallala, NE, to Dale and Irene (Pierce) Wood. She graduated from Ogallala High School with the class of 1974 and subsequently attended Mid-Plains Community College.

On April 8, 1978, she married William "Bill" Williams at the Methodist Church in Ogallala. Their union was blessed with two daughters, Amy and Katie.

Vickie worked as a secretary for a cable TV office for a few years before working at TRW, which later became American Shizuki, for several years before her progressive kidney disease necessitated a change in her life. In 2010, Vickie received a kidney transplant from UCHealth in Aurora, CO.

Vickie cherished every moment with her grandchildren, thoroughly enjoying their company and engaging in various activities together. Among her favorite pastimes was playing games, with crossword puzzles holding a special place in her heart. Being a grandmother for 11 years, she embraced the role wholeheartedly and found immense joy in it. Vickie possessed a compassionate nature and demonstrated abundant love for those around her.

The past 11 years had been challenging due to her health, requiring her to rely on oxygen for extended periods. Finally, on Tuesday morning, her faith became sight. "It doesn't matter where you go in life, what you do, or what you have... it's who you have beside you."

Vickie was preceded in death by her parents and an infant sister, Cheryl.

Survivors include her husband of 45 years, Bill Williams of Ogallala; daughters Amy and Matt Hodgson of Kearney, and Katie and Albert Sanders of Waldorf, MD; three grandsons, William, Owen, and Henry Hodgson; brother Randy and Sally Wood of Littlestown, PA; sister Teresa and Jim Bame of Centennial, CO; along with several nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Memorials are suggested to the National Kidney Foundation in Vickie's memory. Condolences may be shared at prairiehillsfuneralhome.com.

Memorial services will be held on Friday, June 16, 2023, at 1:30 PM at GracePoint Church in Ogallala, with Pastor Curtis Tschetter officiating. Inurnment will be in the Ogallala Cemetery.

Prairie Hills Funeral Home Ogallala is in charge of arrangements.
