&nbsp; Kenneth L. Ruser, 92, of Ogallala, passed away on Thursday, March 9, 2023, at the Ogallala Community Hospital. Ken was born on November 14, 1930, on a farm north of Ogallala to William H. and Edith (Struckman) Ruser. He graduated from Ogallala High School before attending Kearney State College. Following his education, Ken returned home, where he pursued his passion for farming. On September 23, 1951, Kenneth married Shirley A. Kramer, and together they raised three children: Candi, Dawn, and Todd. Kenneth owned and operated the Culligan Water Conditioning and the SEARS store before transitioning into real estate, which he did passionately for the next 22 years. He also served as a Staff Sergeant in the Nebraska National Guards for nine years. In 1969, Ken came to faith in the Lord at the Ogdon Rescue Mission in Utah. His faith became an integral part of his life, and he lived it every day. Ken loved to share his faith in Christ generously, and as a result, he helped bring many people into a relationship with Jesus. Ken had many hobbies, including fishing, pheasant hunting, and hunting for arrowheads and bottles. He often shared his passion for Nebraska history and artifact hunting with his great friend, neighbor, and fellow historian, Pete Peters, and even involved his children in their adventures. Ken had an endearing preoccupation with details and organization. These inclinations were perhaps best on display in his beloved 1997 red Chevy pickup, "Big Red." Ken was preceded in death by his parents, three infant sons, Mark, James, and Steven; brother, Dick Ruser; and sister, Pat Saathoff. Kenneth is survived by his wife of over 71 years, Shirley Ruser of Ogallala; his children, Candi (Myron) Harms of Kalispell, MT, Dawn (John) Lotshaw of Jackson, WY, and Todd Ruser of Kansas City, MO; grandchildren, Eric, Amy, Heather, Autumn, Katie, Jaclyn, Jennifer, and Johnny; 18 great-grandchildren; 4 great-great-grandchildren; along with many nieces, nephews, and friends. A memorial has been established in Ken's memory for later designation. Condolences may be shared at prairiehillsfuneralhome.com, where the services will be streamed live. A memorial book signing where the family will receive friends will be held on Thursday, March 16, 2023, from 6 pm until 8 pm at the Prairie Hills Funeral Home in Ogallala.

Gordon Lee (John) Williams was born June 29, 1931, and went to his heavenly home March 12, 2023 in Aurora, NE.&nbsp; He was the oldest of eight children born to Herbert and Ethel Colkitt Williams.&nbsp; As a young boy he went to country school and spent time helping his dad on the farm. In the winter he went trapping with his friends.

When Gordon’s father became ill the family moved to Albuquerque, NM, where he continued his education until his senior year. At that time, he left school to work on the family farm. The next few years he farmed in season and returned to NM in the off season doing odd jobs.&nbsp; He learned his driving skills as a taxicab driver. He also helped out at the Unser Speed shop (Unser Racing). He continued to farm to help his family out until he was drafted into the Marines. He attended boot camp and because of his dad becoming more ill he was granted a family hardship and granted an honorable discharge. At that time, he returned to Nebraska to the family farm.

Gordon met Mary Ann Ostendorf at a rural school dance. These two were married Nov. 14, 1953. To this union two children were born Rick and Marcia. A few years after he and Mary Ann were married, they moved into the house where Gordon was born. Gordon continued farming the family farm, renting more ground to support his family. As a young farmer, he also worked for the local hay mills and surrounding area ranchers.

As his children grew older, Gordon went to work selling cars and helped Rick get into farming. He later became a co-owner of Simon Motor Company. After several years of selling cars, he returned to farming. When he decided to retire, he rented his ground out and he went to work for Jack Soller for about 17 years.

After Mary Ann passed in 2014, Gordon moved to York, Nebraska. He enjoyed his many friends in his apartment complex, usually having a meeting of the minds each morning in the courtyard with their coffee.

In Nov of 2020, Gordon moved to Aurora to be closer to his family. In March of 2021 he moved to East Park Villa, where he lived till the end of Feb. He enjoyed his friends and staff at East Park.

Cathleen “Kay” Timm, 80, of Council Bluffs, IA passed away on March
 7, 2023 at Midlands Living Center after a tough 5 year battle with 
Alzheimer’s.  Kay had a zest for life and fun that was unparalleled.  
She will be remembered for her quick wit, generosity, fun style, and 
card shark abilities.  Kay believed in the power of positivity and would
 always say yes to a day on the water, a party invite, or an ask for 
help.

Kay was born and raised in North Platte, NE where
 she graduated from St. Patrick’s Catholic High School in 1960.  After 
high school, Kay moved to the Omaha metro area for school.  Kay 
graduated from St. Joseph’s School of Nursing with her degree in 1963 
and went on to become a nurse anesthetist (CRNA) until her retirement in
 2005.  She would tell anyone that asked: “I love my job – I’m a call 
girl who provides drugs and passes gas.”

Kay married 
Herman Timm in 1964 and had two beautiful daughters (Christine &amp; 
Marianne).  She divorced in 1988.  She made a home on the shores of Lake
 Manawa where she fell in love with lake life.  Kay was the grandmother 
to four wonderful grandchildren (Jaya, Tony, Sam, &amp; Emma).  She was 
loved by young children because she talked to them as equals and was up 
for any type of silliness.

Kay was preceded in death by
 her parents, Arthur Lloyd &amp; Marianne and her brother, Mark (a.k.a. 
Bear).  She is survived by her two daughters; four grandchildren; three 
siblings (Lenore, Luke, &amp; Jeannette); and many nieces and nephews.

We
 won’t say in lieu of flowers, because Kay loved flowers, but please 
consider a donation in Kay’s name to the Alzheimer’s Association.  A 
“Celebration of Life” service will start at 5 pm and visitation with the
 family immediately following the eulogies on Monday, March 27, 2023, at 
Cutler-O'Neill-Meyer-Woodring Funeral Home.   Please join us for 
refreshments and fellowship at Barley’s after the celebration.
