Cathy Lubben, 82, of McCook, NE, passed away peacefully on August 14, 2024, at Hillcrest Nursing Home.

&nbsp; &nbsp; Born on September 30, 1941, at St Catherine’s Hospital in McCook, Cathy was the daughter of the late Floyd and Helen Bailey. Cathy grew up in Palisade, NE and graduated from Palisade High School in 1959.

&nbsp; &nbsp; Cathy married her lifelong love, Writer Ray (Raymond Tyler Lubben) in 1960 in Palisade, NE. Together they raised two girls, Sharon and Kathleen. Cathy was a devoted wife and mother and was thankful for every moment of the adventure called life.

&nbsp; &nbsp; She spent her working days as a CPA’s assistant, tax reviewer, bookkeeper and administrative assistant. In her free time, Cathy was an avid reader. She always had a large collection of romance and mystery novels. She used to stock books at Twice Told Tales in Idaho in trade for books of her choice. She also loved gardening (vegetables and flowers alike), playing cards and games with family and friends and watching Nebraska football and volleyball. Go Big Red!

&nbsp; &nbsp; Cathy’s warmth, kindness, quick smile and laughter enriched the lives of many. When life threw challenges her way, she was still a trooper and a positive force in the world. She had a car accident in her 50’s which created a ruptured disc in her back, impacting her for the rest of her life. Through that and other challenges, she kept her&nbsp;warm, positive disposition and always had kind words for friends and strangers. She left a trail of good feelings wherever she went.

&nbsp; &nbsp; Cathy is survived by her children, Sharon Holmes of Palisade, NE and Kathleen Brotherton of Austin, TX; her grandchildren Katrina Giles of Austin TX, Eden Brotherton of Austin, TX, Jennifer Holmes Newton and husband Michael of Buffalo, NY, Peter Holmes of York, NE and Matthew Holmes and Kirstin Anderjaska of Lincoln, NE; and her 2 adored great-grandchildren, Wyatt Giles and Donovan Newton. She is also survived by her brothers Jon (Joyce) Bailey, Phil (Sandy) Bailey, sister-in-law’s Connie Bailey and Jan Bailey Hinrichsen.

&nbsp; &nbsp; Cathy was preceded in death by her parents Floyd and Helen Bailey and her brothers Tom and Steve Bailey and husband Writer Ray.

&nbsp; &nbsp; Cremation was chosen. There will be no ceremony. She and Writer Ray will be united at Ft McPherson, Nebraska.

&nbsp; &nbsp; In lieu of flowers, Cathy requests that donations be made to the McCook Fire Department’s ambulance squad in her memory, who took great care of her many times.

&nbsp; &nbsp; Arrangements have been entrusted to Herrmann-Jones Funeral Chapel of McCook, NE.

&nbsp; &nbsp; The family extends their heartfelt thanks to the staff of Hillcrest for their compassionate care during Cathy’s final days.

&nbsp; &nbsp; Cathy will be dearly missed by all who knew her, but her lifelong gift of love and kindness will live on in our hearts forever.

Kenneth L. Dugger, Sr. (1946-2024)

On August 10, 2024, Dean Arthur Henrickson passed away at Linden Court in North Platte. &nbsp;He was born the only son of four children to Arthur and Edna (Deavers) Henrickson in Kimball, NE, on July 31, 1948.

In 1966, Dean graduated from Kimball County High School and went on to pursue and earn his Bachelor’s in Geological Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, CO. &nbsp;After this huge accomplishment, he went to work in the mines as a mining engineer in Edgemont, SD. It was here that he met Debbie Gray; the couple married and had two children, Abigail and Eric. &nbsp;The family returned to Kimball where Dean worked for his dad’s business, Western Office Supplies. &nbsp;They then made their home in Hershey, NE and Dean worked as a salesman for Xerox. The couple decided to pursue different paths and separated. &nbsp;In 2015, Dean retired from Twin Rivers Testing &amp; Environmental where he tested local construction materials. &nbsp;

Dean was known as a talker; in fact, if at any point, you happened to walk past him, he probably had a joke or story to tell you. &nbsp;As most are, he could also be stubborn and could be described as a carbon copy of his dad. &nbsp;Dean played the trombone in the Summer Band and with the Sandhills Symphony. &nbsp;He was a member of the Gideon’s, a club he thoroughly enjoyed participating in, and he was a proud attendee of Sunrise Rotary. &nbsp;Being an outdoorsman, he had lifelong hobbies that included camping and fishing trips. &nbsp;He was a lover of the mountains and always kept a pristine yard.

Dean is survived by his children, Abby (Frederick) Holliday of Custer, SD, and Eric (Monica) Henrickson of Cozad; grandchildren, Anthony, Alex, Taylor, Faith, and Aaron; sisters, Joyce Zimmerman of Minden, IA, Nancy (Peter) Salter of Phoenix, AZ, and Kathy (Ralph) Anderson of Minitare, NE; close companions, Barb Minard, James Hassett, and the Dan Ewald family; other family and friends.

Those that preceded him in death are his parents; grandson, Aiden; nephew, David; niece, Tina.

Online condolences to the family and friends of Dean may be shared at www.adamsswanson.com.

In respecting Dean’s simplicity, cremation was chosen and a family-led celebration will be held at a future date.

Dean Arthur Henrickson (1948-2024)

Sunbeam Pauline Swanson, formerly of Arnold, Nebraska, passed away in her sleep on July 29, 2024, in her independent living apartment in Lincoln, Nebraska, at the age of 91 years, 5 months and 20 days.&nbsp;

Sunbeam was born on February 9, 1933, in her parents' home in Elim Valley south of Arnold, Nebraska, to Harry and Lettie Oman. When she was a little girl, Sunbeam's parents bought nearby farmland and built a home on the edge of Tallin Table. Sunbeam attended the Tallin country school, graduated from Arnold High School in 1950, attended Grace College of the Bible for the next school year, and taught at the Tallin country school for the following school year.&nbsp;

On June 4, 1952, Sunbeam married Don Swanson (Don died on June 1, 2024 — 3 days short of their 72nd wedding anniversary). To this union 2 children were born, Pauline and Donald Lee. They made their home north of Cozad until Don was drafted into the Army and sent to Germany. Sunbeam and the children joined him there for 17 months. When Don was discharged from the Army, they moved back to their home north of Cozad. Then, in 1959 they built a new home south of Arnold, where they lived for the next 60 years.&nbsp;

Sunbeam received Christ as her personal Savior as a young girl. She attended the Tallin Church and as a teenager was part of the young peoples singing group known as the Crusaders. As she became an adult, she taught children's and young people's Sunday School classes. She and Don attended the Morning Star Church while living north of Cozad and then Tallin Church after moving to south of Arnold. Sunbeam was the organist at Tallin Church for 50 years.&nbsp;

Sunbeam was busy as a mother and homemaker. In 1975, Sunbeam started a business out of their home installing window treatments in homes and in businesses like banks, nursing homes and hospitals. Sunbeam continued that business for 38 years. Don was busy with his cattle and farming but took the time to help Sunbeam with her window treatment business.&nbsp;

Nothing gave Don and Sunbeam more joy than their family. Pauline married Duane Norman, and Donald Lee married Marilyn Landis. They blessed Don and Sunbeam with 5 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. Their family always found the time to be together. Each one was very special to Don and Sunbeam.&nbsp;

Besides seeing family and getting together with friends, Don and Sunbeam enjoyed traveling. Over their married life, they took 19 tours in the United States and overseas. Their last tour was to Israel, which they always said was the best tour they took. It was so meaningful to walk where Jesus walked and to be baptized in the Jordon where Jesus was baptized.&nbsp;

Sunbeam was preceded in death by her husband, Don Swanson, her parents, Harry and Lettie Oman, her father- and mother-in-law, Carl and Ruth Swanson, and brother-in-law, Russell Brodhead. Sunbeam's survivors include: daughter Pauline Norman (Duane), son Donald Lee Swanson (Marilyn), grandchildren Janelle Weitzenkamp (Jon), Jonathan Norman (Desirae), Jamie Watson (David), Justin Swanson (Mandy), Grant Showalter-Swanson (Connor), 16 great-grandchildren, and sister Frances Brodhead.&nbsp;

Visitation will be held from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Friday, August 16, 2024, at Colonial Chapel Funeral Home, 5200 R Street, Lincoln, Nebraska.&nbsp;

Funeral will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 17, 2024, at Tallin Church located on Hwy 40, 11 miles south and 2.1 miles east of Arnold, Nebraska (also, 25 miles north and 2.1 miles east of Gothenburg, Nebraska).&nbsp;

For memorial gifts, the family has chosen Tallin Church, 41196 NE-40, Gothenburg, NE 69138.

He enjoyed swimming, boating, and skiing and always treasured his time spent at the lake, whether for the weekend or just sneaking away for part of the day to go windsurfing.

Tim was a member of St. Luke's Catholic Church, where he had served as a lector and was a member of the Knights of Columbus before his health issues.

Tim was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Mindy, in 2019; his parents and parents-in-law; brother-in-law Jonathan Proudfit; sister-in-law Barb Mueller; and niece, Jessica Eidem.

Clyde Allan Barry, 89, of Venango, passed away on August 9, 2024, at the Regent Park Nursing Home in Holyoke.

Clyde was born April 7, 1935, in Ovid, Colorado, to Wilbur and Susan (Keime) Barry. He graduated from Sedgwick High School with the class of 1954.

On July 19, 1956, Clyde married Shirley E. Henni at her parents' home in Venango. The couple made their home in Venango and were blessed with four children: Steve, David, Kathy, and Sheri.

Clyde worked for the Perkins County Department of Roads for over 40 years, most of which as District 3 Foreman. Clyde retired at the age of 73 and immensely enjoyed following his grandchildren in all of their endeavors.

Clyde was a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church at Venango. He was a longtime member of the Venango Volunteer Fire Department, where he had served for 40 years.

Clyde was preceded in death by his parents, daughter, Sheri Bazan, and grandson, James Arias.

Survivors include his wife of 68 years, Shirley of Venango; children Steve (Theresa) Barry of Ogallala, David (Jill) Barry of Grant, and Kathy (Joe) Arias of Greeley, CO; 11 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild on the way; sister Shirley A. Barry of Sterling, CO; and several cousins and other relatives.

A memorial has been established in Clyde's memory for later designation. Condolences may be shared at bullocklongfuneralhome.com.
