John C. Owens, a farmer from Stockville, Nebraska, passed away on April 26th, 2023 at his home surrounded by his family. He was 80 years old.&nbsp;

John was born on May 24th, 1942 at his childhood home southeast of Stockville to parents Richard and Willa Marie (Arent) Owens. He attended elementary school in Stockville and completed his later years of education in Curtis. John went on to graduate from the Nebraska School of Agriculture in Curtis where he gained a wealth of knowledge about agriculture that would become a meaningful part of his life's work.&nbsp;

On May 18th, 1962, John married the love of his life, Bernita Hinton in McCook, Nebraska. Together they welcomed four children into their lives: Janelle, Kevin, Rocky, and Marci. His devotion to his family was unending and he loved nothing more than spending quality time with them.

John was an accomplished farmer who took great pride in working the land. He raised cattle for many years which added to providing for his family. He also found time to make a positive impact within his community serving on numerous committees over the years including; serving for twelve years on the Maywood Public School Board and twenty-four years as a member of the Frontier County Fair board where he helped ensure the success of the popular event year after year. He was also currently active as a member of the Stockville Village Board of Trustees.

His love for sports began early in life; he played softball and bowled throughout much of his adulthood and had a passion for horseshoes which he often played with friends and family members. John found joy in sharing this enthusiasm for sports with others by organizing and facilitating annual catfish tournaments locally for over thirty years.

Other pastimes John enjoyed included square dancing. He also impressively finished second in a talent show during a senior center fundraiser event called "Dancing With The Stars". These hobbies and interests provided John with some of his fondest memories and the good-natured competition he shared with those around him highlighted his fun-loving personality.

John is survived by his beloved wife, Bernita, their children Janelle (Dean) Weems, Centennial, CO; Kevin (Stacie Strawn) Owens, Curtis, NE; Rocky Owens, Curtis, NE and Marci (Jay) Pike, also of Curtis; along with ten grandchildren and six great-grandchildren who will forever cherish the memories they have made together.&nbsp;

Evelyne White (1935-2023)

On Saturday, April 22, 2023, Dawson departed life on Earth for a better life in Heaven. He was a son, grandson, brother, father, nephew, and friend.

Dawson was born on December 8, 2006, at McCook Community Hospital to his mother, Colette Burns. &nbsp;Calie Jade was thrilled to finally be a big sister! Dawson learned how to ride a bike at just 3 years old with help from his dad, Greg, who loved spending time outside with him. Ever since then, Dawson was on the GO! He spent the first 12 years of his life growing up in McCook, playing with his brothers, cousins, and friends. He loved skateboarding and riding and working on his bikes. He was on the summer swim team coached by Uncle Dan. Fishing and shooting his BB-gun were some of his favorite pastimes with Grandpa Pat and he always loved the Culbertson 4th of July Celebration with Grandma Lisa and Uncle Elliott.

Growing up, Dawson got to spend time with all his aunts and uncles. Uncle Dan and Aunt Julie took him on many camping trips to the lake where they spent hours boating and tubing. He loved to go motorcycle riding with Uncle Dan, Tyson, and Kerrigan, and making Christmas candy with Aunt Julie and all the girls. When he was little, Aunt Amy lived around the corner, and Dawson could often be found over there playing with Lacyn. He spent time at Aunt Angie’s farm loving on all the horses and dogs and &nbsp;having fun with Megan and Haylee. Time at the pool and riding bikes with Uncle Elliott were always a blast in the summer.

When Dawson loved, it was endless and pure. He loved music, drawing and journaling, and he loved spending time with his brothers and friends. Dawson had a special place in his heart for his cat, Nala. One of his favorite characters was “Bubbles”. Dawson was a 5-star act impersonating him and giving his family many laughs. He was proud of his beautiful long hair and the few little whiskers he was able to grow!

Dawson was able to give the gift of life to many people through organ donation.

Dawson was preceded in death by his biological father, Dustin “Dusty” Kircher, along with his Grandpa Victor Monzon and Great-grandparents Marian Croutcher and Tom &amp; Betty Burns.

He is survived by his parents Colette (Burns) and Greg Monzon; siblings Calie, Laken, Rilen, Kastin, TJ, Monique (Brant &amp; boys), and Lily; his daughter Melody Willow Jade Burns and her mother Alyssa; Grandparents Lisa Croutcher, Patrick Burns &amp; Vera Hanson, Mary Ellen Monzon, and Mike &amp; Val Kircher; Aunts and Uncles Dan &amp; Julie Burns, Angie &amp; Mike Karr, Elliott Tapia, Amy &amp; Myles Virgil and best friend Dominic Douglas along with numerous cousins.

Wilma Jean (Larson) French was born October 23rd, 1933, at Broken Bow, NE. to Harry G and Gertrude (Walter) Larson.&nbsp;&nbsp;She grew up on the family farm in Rose Valley northeast of Broken Bow and enjoyed going to grade school at the Rose Valley country school where she met many friends. She then attended Broken Bow High School where she enjoyed music and was proud to be part of the marching band playing the clarinet while also making many more new friends. She graduated from high school in 1951 and started at the University of Nebraska that fall. She would graduate from UNL with a degree in Business Administration in the spring of 1955. While attending the University she met Gene French and would later marry on August 29, 1954. After Wilma and Gene graduated in 1955, Wilma followed Gene around during his service to the Country. This service would take them to Idaho, Utah, Texas, and Oklahoma before Gene was sent overseas. Wilma would stay in Lincoln, NE. working for a professor at the UNL College of Dentistry. When Gene returned from his Military service overseas in July of 1958, they would move to the ranch east of Broken Bow. Wilma’s college degree would prove to be an asset for helping to manage their growing purebred livestock operation. She learned computing skills on her own which would prove to be invaluable for developing the bull sale catalog and other data intensive requirements of the seedstock business. She worked tirelessly both as a homemaker and a business partner. During these 53 years she would raise 2 boys – Lynn and Carl, and a daughter, Karen. Her children were her pride and joy. She was an excellent seamstress and would make many of her own and her daughter Karen’s childhood clothes. She made her own beautiful wedding dress and all 5 of the bridesmaids’ dresses. Her kids and grandkids fondly remember her excellent cooking and her pies were the best. In 2011, Wilma and Gene bought a house in Broken Bow where they moved. Wilma enjoyed spending time in her flower gardens and working for the Christian Women’s Club. She played the piano for the worship services at the Evangelical Free Church and later at the Golden Living Center retirement home. She also taught piano lessons to some of her granddaughters.

She leaves behind her husband, 3 children – Karen (Mark), Lynn (Laurie), and Carl (Toni), 8 grandchildren – Sheena (Lowell), Nikki (Derrick), Leah (Luke), Levi, Spencer, Austin (Brooke), Justin (fiancé Jory), Jamie (fiancé Brennen), and 13 great grandchildren – Madden, Cash, Rawlins, Rowan, Grant, Garrett, Moxon, Raygan, Brigston, Bexley, Declan, Isla Ree, and Brynn.

Janeane Gibbens (1932-2023)

Archie Curtice of Cozad, NE went to meet his Heavenly Father on April 24, 2023 when he passed away peacefully at his home, at the age of 90.

Archie Gene Curtice was born in Willow Island, NE to Harold Guy and Myrtle (Lamb) Curtice on April 8th, 1933.&nbsp;Archie grew up on the farm his grandfather homesteaded in Willow Island.&nbsp; As a young boy, Archie attended country school, South 2, then later attended Cozad High School until the age of 16.&nbsp;

About that time, alfalfa dehydrators came to Willow Island, and Archie went to work for Lemmon Mills working long hours at the hay mill and also successfully completed and graduated from the Production School of the American Dehydrators Association.&nbsp;Though work was important, education was important too, so Archie later earned his GED.

Soon, love blossomed after Archie met Alice, while spending time at the candy counter hanging out with friends at the pharmacy in Gothenburg.&nbsp; Archie married Alice&nbsp;May&nbsp;Sabin on June 19, 1950, and together they started their first home in a small apartment in Willow Island.&nbsp;By this time the owners of Lemmon Mills in Willow Island got some new owners.&nbsp; The new owners also wanted to expand their business and build a feedlot.&nbsp; Ervin Burkholder and Ray Bates started Island Dehy, and when Archie was asked to join them, he said “let’s go for it”.&nbsp; That was the beginning of Archie’s career, where he managed Will-Feed Inc. until he retired at the age of 65.&nbsp; After a long, dedicated career, Archie was inducted into the Dawson County Cattlemen’s Hall of Fame in 2004 and honored as the Ag Employee of the Year in 2008.

Alice and Archie were blessed with 4 children whom they are very proud of, a daughter Connie, and three sons, Micheal, Steven, and Douglas Curtice.&nbsp; Archie and Alice were also blessed with 10 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren.&nbsp; Archie loved his family and always enjoyed the kids coming back home for the holidays, and especially to celebrate their birthdays.

After Archie retired, Alice and Archie liked to travel to places they hadn’t been before.&nbsp; They got to go on bus tours and see lots of God’s great country.&nbsp; Two of their favorite places to visit were Corpus Christi, Texas and Bull Head City, Arizona.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Archie was a hard worker, a good friend and a positive, fun, loving person who respected people and was also respected by many throughout his life.&nbsp; Archie enjoyed life and wanted everyone around him to enjoy life also.

Archie was a member of the Cozad Church of Christ where he also humbly served for many years as a deacon.

Archie was preceded in death by his parents, Harold Guy and Myrtle Curtice.&nbsp; His sister&nbsp;Mary Etta&nbsp;Curtice, and brother Harold Curtice.

Survivors include the love of his life, for 72 years, Alice Curtice.&nbsp;Children:&nbsp;Connie Stevens of Gothenburg, NE&nbsp;Micheal&nbsp;(Brenda) Curtice&nbsp;of Moberly MO,&nbsp;Steven (Sally) Curtice of Cozad, NE, and Douglas (Stephanie) Curtice of Cozad, NE.&nbsp;Grandchildren:&nbsp;Michelle Stevens, Fred (Nicole) Stevens, Christina (Ben) Webb, Melissa (Guepson) Jonas, Justin (April) Curtice, Travis (Kaitlin) Curtice, Marie (Brandon) Morris, Stephanie (Wayne) Peck, Patrisha (Travis) Westfall, Jordan (Ashley) Curtice.&nbsp;Great Grandchildren:&nbsp;Azlynn and Bo Stevens.&nbsp; Calianna, Benton and Baylor Webb.&nbsp; Theodule Jonas. Eliot and Isaiah Curtice.&nbsp; Brooke Morris (Tyler Mobley), Brandee Morris (Willy Betz).&nbsp; Riley Peck.&nbsp; Andrew and Andrea Huntsman, Asher and Ashlyn Westfall.

Services will be held Saturday, May 6, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. at the Church of Christ on Newell with Pastor David Haynes officiating. Burial will follow at Grandview Cemetery north of Willow Island. Visitation with family present will be Friday, May 5, 2023 from 5 to 7 PM at Berryman Funeral Home.

Doris Ann Chesley Andersen, of Cozad, NE, passed away peacefully Sunday morning, April 23, 2023, at the Cozad Hospital at the age of 87. Doris and her husband, Steve, have been residents at Meadowlark Pointe in Cozad for the past 5 years.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;Doris was born on April 2, 1936, in Grand Island, NE to Earl and Stella (Cruickshank) Chesley.&nbsp;Their family moved to Central City in 1941, where she was active both academically and in various athletics. She loved the support she received from her parents and 3 protective brothers. After graduation in 1954, she attended Kearney Teaching College where she received her two-year teaching certificate. Her first job was in Cozad teaching fifth&nbsp;grade. She was&nbsp;continuously thrilled when she came&nbsp;across any of her students while out in the community. As a young teacher, one evening she and her girlfriends were enjoying bowling in Cozad, when local boy Steve Andersen outwardly admired her left-handed bowling skills. The rest is history.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Steve and Doris were united in marriage on August 3, 1958, on a hot summer day in Central City. They resided in both Kearney and Lincoln to complete Steve’s education before settling in Arapahoe where they began their family with son Greg and daughter Jennifer. Shortly after, they moved to Denison, IA where Susan was born, and four years later, they moved home to Cozad to raise their family&nbsp;with the support and love of Steve’s parents, MG and&nbsp;Dorothy Andersen.

In 1971, with the&nbsp;encouragement and support of several local businessmen, Steve and Doris joyfully opened Andersen Studio, where together they worked side by side for 36 years. It was at Andersen Studio that Doris thrived as she loved serving and connecting with customers and their families. To this day, our family loves the stories we are told about their experiences through school, sports, activities, and wedding pictures that were taken.

Throughout her life, Doris was committed to teaching. She was involved with Girl Scouts, assisted with activities at the Cozad State School and enjoyed teaching Sunday School at the First Presbyterian Church. In addition to singing in the Church Choir, she participated in Presbyterian Women, the PEO Sisterhood Chapter IB, and the Cozad Community Concert Series. She discovered great joy supporting and mentoring young people through the local Teammates program, where her relationship with a young Alexandra Brown enhanced both their lives.

Family was always first to Doris. She is survived by her loving and doting husband, Steve, of almost 65 years.&nbsp; Amazing son Gregory Jon of Oxford, and daughters Jennifer and Jim Smith of Highlands Ranch, CO, and Susan and Scott Kuhlman, of Cozad.

Doris will be most dearly missed by her amazing grandchildren, Ellen and husband Kevin Cunningham of Bloomington, MN, Audrey Kuhlman of North Platte, and Matthew Smith and Stephen Smith of Highlands Ranch, CO.&nbsp;&nbsp;Her only great grandchild, Henry Cunningham was a special joy this past year for Doris and our entire family.&nbsp;

She leaves behind her youngest brother Dean and his wife Ann Chesley, of Columbus, along with many special nieces and nephews who have always held a special place in her heart.

Doris is preceded in death by her father and mother, Earl and Stella Chesley, and older brothers and their wives, Billy and Earlene of San Jose, CA and Dale and Margaret of Plattsmouth, NE.

Memorials are suggested to the local Cozad Chapter of TeamMates.&nbsp;Celebrations and stories may be shared at&nbsp;<a href="http://berrymanfuneralhome.com/">berrymanfuneralhome.com</a>. Doris’s wishes were to be cremated. The service of celebration will be held Monday, May 1, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. at Cozad Presbyterian Church with Rev. Jill Boyd presiding. A private family inurnment will be held prior to the service at Cozad Cemetery. Those wishing to sign the memorial book may do so on Sunday, April 30, 2023 from 4-6pm with family present, at Berryman Funeral Home.

Darren Lee Findley (1963-2023)

Duane Stephen Lindell, 59, of Thornton, CO, passed away April 19, 2023, of natural causes, at his home at Lake McConaughy, in Lemoyne, NE. Duane was born on February 16, 1964, in Altus, OK, to Daryle W. and Dorothy M. (Halverson) Lindell. He graduated from Griffith High School in Indiana, where he was a talented athlete and played tennis. As a young man, his love of skiing took him to Keystone Resort, CO. It was there that he met his soulmate of 34 years, Julie Paluka. Duane and Julie were proud parents to their beloved black Lab, Sammi, who they were lucky enough to have for 15 years. During his time in Summit County, CO, he racked up victories, including multiple Keystone Tennis Club Men's League tournament wins and multiple Summit County Softball Men's League and Co-Ed wins. In one year-end Men's final tournament, he knocked five over-the-fence home runs in one game. Within a couple of years of taking up golf, he aced a Par 3 in the Breckinridge Men's League year-end tournament. He was also an entrepreneur who owned/operated Lindell Pool and Spa in Frisco, CO for more than ten years. After selling his business in 2010, fishing became his passion. He was the first to note that there was a difference between fishing and "catching." While he did catch many trophy-sized fish, he was happy to be mostly fishing with his buddies. It was his love of fishing that brought Duane and Julie to Lake McConaughy. They purchased a home in Lemoyne, nicknamed Husker Hideaway, in 2015. Duane was happiest at the lake. The friendships and community he found there meant the world to him. Duane always let the people he cared about know that he loved them. A text, a hug, or an act of service were his trademarks. He liked to cook for people and loved sharing recipes. His cheesecake was legend! Duane was also an audiophile and home theater expert. He shared his expertise with anyone in need of "tremendous sound" and helped his friends find the best components at the best price. Duane never said goodbye in a conversation; but always wished for you to "Be Good!" He was kind. He was generous. He was beautiful. Duane was preceded in death by his grandparents. In addition to Julie, he is survived by his parents, Daryle and Dorothy Lindell of Crown Point, IN; his aunts, Karen Lindell of Bozeman, MT and Kim Barry of Greenville, WI; his sister, Darla Pinkerton of Crown Point, IN; and his niece and nephews that he loved like his own children: Kyle Przyborski of Chicago, IL and April Edwards and her husband, Chris, of Valparaiso, IN. In lieu of flowers, please follow Duane's example and: 1. Show the people that you care about that you love them. 2. Be Good! Prairie Hills Funeral Home of Ogallala is assisting Duane's family.
