Clara A Dunn (1942-2023)

Gwendolyn Ruth Anderson, 93, of Ogallala, passed away on May 29, 2023, at the Ogallala Community Hospital.

Gwen was born October 6, 1929, at Loup City, Nebraska, to Atholbert "Bert" and Helen Marie (Campbell) Chase. She attended school in Loup City before graduating from Broken Bow High School. Gwen subsequently attended Kearney State College before earning her Master's in education at the University of Northern Colorado. After college, Gwen moved to California, where she worked in banking for a season of her life. She married and was blessed with two daughters, Judy and Janet. After a few years, Gwen and the girls moved to Grant, Nebraska, to be closer to family. Gwen reconnected with education, taking a teaching position at Venango Public Schools.

In November of 1968, Gwen married Albert "Andy" Anderson. The couple made their home in Ogallala, where she finished her teaching career at the age of 62.

Gwen was a woman of faith, service, and impeccable organization. She was a lifelong member of the First Congregational United Church of Christ. Her dedication was unyielding, her faith unwavering, and her heart was always eager to serve. Always an active participant, she involved herself in various activities the church offered over the years, but she was particularly fond of her weekly Bible study.

Gwen was a longtime member of the Eastern Star. She loved to play Bridge with friends and always enjoyed the camaraderie that came with it.

Gwen was a respected teacher by profession, known for her dedication and discipline in the classroom. She extended this commitment to her own home, which was always spotless and in perfect order. A testament to her exceptional organizational skills, everything had a place and was always in its place. Her house looked like it was out of a magazine, pristine and inviting, a true reflection of the woman who made it a home.

Gwen was preceded in death by her husband, Andy Anderson; grandson, Shawn Shaul; great-grandson, Devon Park; step-son, James Anderson; 2 brothers, Paul (Lynda) Chase and Bob (Mary) Chase.

Frances Kathrine Hauser passed from this life straight into the arms of Jesus, Thursday morning May the 25th, surrounded by her loving children, at the age of 94 years and 10 months. A life well lived filled with love and adventure, unfolding into an amazing story!!

Francis was born on July the 9th, 1928, into the waiting arms of Ray and Mary Davis. She spent an idyllic childhood, living her own version of what growing up in the rolling sandhills should really be like!! A carefree time filled with kittens to be played with and chores to be done, cousins sprinkled in and a pony to ride for fun!!

Turning a page at the ripe age of six, stepping straight into grade school at District 13. A little brick school building just a couple of miles down the road, where she learned her ABC’s with 7 neighbor children: riding that same pony to school every day!

After graduating grade school, she stepped straight into a new adventure as she then moved to the big metropolis of Dunning, where she attended high school there, and stayed with her Uncle Ory and Aunt Anna and those sweet cousins of hers during the week and went home on the weekends! - A fun-filled time!

Graduating with honors from Dunning High School, she was already turning a new page in her story. &nbsp;She had met this handsome young man at a dance and was already smitten! They soon became inseparable! &nbsp;She had found her love of a lifetime and it was fated to become a lifetime of love!&nbsp; On Oct. 4th, 1947, her story changed a bit. A promise was sealed with a kiss, and now she was in marriage bliss! First just a family of two and then it grew!! Soon they had a baby in the cradle! Not done yet, Glory Be, they soon had nine little sets of feet under the table!&nbsp; Their very own haying crew, all ready and able!! &nbsp;And the years were filled with sunshine and hard work! With a few baseball games throwed in!.... &nbsp; And she became a master of organization! She had to, you see, for God had opened yet another door and she took a job at Forest Reserve where she worked amongst her neighbors and friends for many summers and spent the winters driving the school bus. &nbsp;

In the fall of 1999, her story changed again as she lost that love of a lifetime and sadly turned the page to a new adventure , moving this time to the bustling city of Broken Bow, where at the ripe age of 71, she started a new career in the clothing industry, working at Bow Western Store, finding time to work as a hospice volunteer also, earning herself the hospice volunteer of the year award!! She also became an avid church worker through St. Joseph Catholic Church, and a member of Catholic daughters!

At the ripe age of 75, she turned another page in her story and followed what she believed to be her “calling” as she began helping the handicapped, working with Mid-Nebraska until at the ripe age of 84.&nbsp; She turned yet another page, stepping straight into RETIREMENT!! Spending time with her family, traveling to different places, enjoying life to the FULLEST! Always remembering to keep a little sand between her toes!! She leaves a broken-hearted family, a legacy of love and Christian hope!!

Kami Kay Krajewski, age 55, of Grant, Nebraska was called home on May 27, 2023 at the Perkins County Hospital in Grant.

Kami was born on July 31, 1967 in Rushville, Nebraska to Robert &amp; Karen (Carter) Palmer, as one of five children.

After graduating from Rushville High School in 1985, Kami pursued her higher education at Chadron State College, where she graduated with an Early Childhood Development degree.&nbsp; She married the love of her life, Terry Krajewski, on September 11, 1999 at the Grant Methodist Church.&nbsp; The couple established their home north of Brandon.

Kami dedicated nearly her entire life to child care and preschool education.&nbsp; She ran "M.U.M.'s," a church-affiliated preschool while she lived in Rushville, "Hugs and Teddy Bears" daycare in Grant, and also served the children of Venango School.&nbsp; The arrival of her beloved son, Carter, in 2002 only intensified her passion for children.&nbsp; She offered home daycare until Carter began his education.

A woman of many talents, Kami was an exemplary preschool teacher at Perkins County School.&nbsp; She was a gifted music enthusiast who had been part of a group in Rushville known as "The Classie Lassies."&nbsp; She was a lover of karaoke and met Terry over their shared love of the pastime.&nbsp; She and Terry even successfully ran a karaoke business for several years.&nbsp; Kami was a connoisseur of a good glass of wine and was known for her incredible laughter, her unparalleled gift-giving, and her love for scrapbooking and animals, especially her dogs.&nbsp; Kami was a talented cook, and her dishes always brought joy to those who tasted them.

A devoted mother to Carter, Kami was actively involved in his life, attending his sporting events and speech meets.&nbsp; Her love for Carter, her selflessness, and her caregiver spirit were the heart and soul of her life.

As a uterine cancer survivor, Kami remained a pillar of strength throughout her life, proving that her spirit was as strong as her warm and caring heart.&nbsp; In her memory, Kami wished for everyone to wear pink, a testament to her journey and her courage.

Kami is preceded in death by her grandparents and two nieces, Kyla Kay Vincent and Chelsey Dawn Palmer; her father-in-law, Edwin Krajewski; mother-in-law, LaVonna Krajewski; and niece, Maya Bibins.

She leaves behind her husband, Terry; her son, Carter of Lincoln, NE; her parents, Robert &amp; Karen Palmer of Rushville, NE; four siblings, Mary (Karmen) Palmer, Mark (Soni) Palmer, Karla (Dale) Ruleau, and Marvin (Laura) Palmer; along with many nieces and nephews: Jeremy (Cassie Palmer, Jerad (Amity) Palmer, Jacob Palmer, Karac (Kyle) Ruleau, Kalli Ruleau, Katie (Eddie) Bissonette, Jeff (Brandee) Palmer, Matt Palmer; and a host of relatives and friends who will miss her dearly.

Memorials in Kami's name can be made to the American Kidney Foundation.
