Darlene M. Hughes, 87 of Hazard, passed away on Tuesday, July 21, 2020 at her home with her son David by her side. Funeral services will be 10:30 a.m. Monday, July 27, 2020 at Hazard United Methodist Church with the Rev. Scott Evans officiating. The family requests casual attire and masks be worn for the services. Burial will follow at Highland Park Cemetery in Ravenna. Visitation will be 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Sunday at O’Brien Straatmann Redinger Funeral Home in Kearney. Darlene and her twin sister, Donna, were born on October 16, 1932 to Truman and Vera (Rasmussen) Johnson at their grandparents (Aktor &amp; Anna Johnson) rural farm home near Pleasanton, Nebraska. As a young child her family lived on several rented farms in Buffalo and Sherman Counties. In 1944, the family bought an acreage in Hazard. Darlene attended grade school and high school there. She graduated in 1950 and her class was the last to graduate from there before the high school closed. She attended Kearney State College after graduation, taking Summer preparation classes, and began her teaching career that Fall at the age of 18 at the K-8 rural Newburg school. Darlene was united in marriage to her husband, Donald Lee Hughes on June 16, 1951. They were blessed with 51 years of marriage before Don’s passing in 2002. To this union were born three children, David Lee, Scott Dale, and Gay Lynne. Darlene resumed her teaching career once their children were old enough to attend school. She continued her college education, while teaching, by working hard, attending summer school and received her Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1976. She retired from her 36-year teaching career in 1997. Darlene was confirmed in 1947 at the Hazard United Methodist Church and remained strong in her faith until the time of her passing. She was active in the Church helping with Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, UMW, and various other offices within the Church. She was fully committed to her faith in God, her family and her friends. She loved them all deeply. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren were extremely special to her and brought her much joy. Darlene will be remembered for so many things! She was the rock of the family and the glue that held us all together. She was humble and kind. She always had a smile and a hug for you. She did not know a stranger! She had a memory for every detail on family and community history. You could count on her to tell it like it was as not much got past her. She could run circles around most of us. She was very independent and blessed with great neighbors, family &amp; friends, but she pretty much maintained the farm by herself after the passing of her husband. She could be found in the kitchen baking or cooking something delicious just about any day of the week, and then sharing it with someone. Darlene always loved trying new recipes. Even at the age of 87, she could still throw down one heck of a family meal. People would comment on how nice she always looked from her head to her toes. She loved bright beautiful colors and always walked and did everything with a purpose. She took pride in her appearance and said “well, it doesn’t take very long to put on a little lipstick”. She was a person full of life and joy. You could tell her “have a good day Mom” and her reply would always be “I always have a good day; I have lived a good life and I thank God for it”. She never ended a goodbye without saying “I love you” and she will always be remembered as “Great grandma on the Farm”. She was simply amazing!!! She is survived by her children, David (Judy) of Hazard, NE; Scott (Jennifer) of Gering, NE; Gay Warner of Kearney, NE; Grandchildren, Jamie &amp; Missi Glinsmann of Hickman, NE; T.J. Farris &amp; Dustin Cash of Kearney, NE; Jacy &amp; Todd Porter of Lodi, WI; Damon Farris of San Diego, CA; Chastity &amp; Derrie Adams of Alliance, NE; Ashley Hughes of Johnston, IA; Shannon Hughes of Gering, NE; Great Grandchildren, Lauren, A.J., Katelyn &amp; Emily Glinsmann, Lincoln, Brecken &amp; Frankie Porter, Devin Hughes, Jarron Santos, Kyler Adams, and Dreyton &amp; Jessi Perez. Darlene was preceded in death by her husband, Donald Lee Hughes, parents Truman and Vera Johnson, twin Sister Donna and husband LaVern Lueders, son-in-law Brent Warner, great grandchildren, Marcus Santos and Path Werner. In-laws Ralph &amp; Mildred Hughes and Rolland &amp; Pat Hughes.

Ross Douglas Wills left this earthly world on July 8, 2020 to be in the presence of his Heavenly Father.&nbsp; He ran his race, keeping his eyes on the Lord and never gave up.&nbsp; He fought the good fight, never lost his faith, and obtained the ultimate prize—heaven!

Ross was born April 14, 1955 to Harold (Bud) and Betty Ann (Bartels) Wills. He graduated from Alliance High School in 1973.&nbsp; On March 20, 1987, he was united in marriage to Johana M. Brost.&nbsp; It was reported her father was extremely grateful.&nbsp;

Ross had many gifts and talents, his ultimate gift being a true salesman through and through.&nbsp; From Kirby vacuums to his favorite Ford vehicles, he loved every minute!

Ross enjoyed a 24 year career with Cover-Jones Motor Company in Alliance and considered everyone there part of the family.&nbsp; He loved selling vehicles and never knew a stranger.&nbsp;

In his spare time he could dance your socks off while singing every song with his beautiful tenor voice and he shared those gifts with others his entire life.

Ross was a lifelong member of the Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church Missouri Synod in Alliance, Nebraska.&nbsp; He served on several boards and as an usher during his lifetime.&nbsp; Of course he also sang in the church choir and let his wife heckle him constantly.

Ross was preceded in death by his parents Harold (Bud) Wills and Betty Wills, and sister, Janet Toedtli.&nbsp; He is survived by his wife, Johana, son, Morgan (Ruth) Wills, and daughter, Whitney Wills. He is also survived by his brothers, Tim (Kim) Wills; Mike (Kim) Wills; and Bill (Candy Countryman) Wills; his mother-in-law, Kay Brost and brothers and sisters-in-law, Jess (Linda) Brost; Suze (Mike) Bayne; Sally (Brad) Sawyer, and Jake Brost along with numerous nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews.&nbsp;

Ross wanted to express his gratitude, appreciation, and love for all the visits, phone conversations, assistance, food, and most importantly the outpouring of prayers and love for him and for the family during his illness.&nbsp;

Memorial services will be Saturday, July 11 at 2:00 p.m. at Immanuel Ev. Lutheran Church with Reverend Richard C. Mueller officiating.&nbsp; Following the service a light lunch will be served at Westside Event Center.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials to Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran School in Alliance, Nebraska; Regional West Hospice of Scottsbluff, Nebraska, or to a memorial of the donor’s choice.

Revelation 21:4.&nbsp; He will wipe every tear from their eyes.&nbsp; There will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain.&nbsp; All these things are gone forever.&nbsp;
