Shirley grew up north of Valentine, NE. She loved the Sandhills and always looked forward to coming home to visit the land and her family. Shirley graduated from Valentine High School in 1960. From there she obtained a bachelor and masters degree from the University of Nebraska in Home Economics and Special Education.
She taught school for McCook Public Schools 20+ years and for St Patrick’s Pre-school after retiring. One of her greatest joys was to teach and make learning exciting. Her grandchildren were never for lack of fun, educational books and toys!
Shirley married Ronald Vontz on a very hot day in July 1968. To this union was born 2 daughters Marci and LeeAnn. They raised their family south of McCook. They had a deep love for each other and we can now be joyous that they are able to be together again.
Shirley loved her family and friends. She listened, prayed, and gave great encouragement and advice to anyone of them in need. She especially delighted in watching her grandchildren come to earth and grow! She enjoyed crafting and sewing, a love that she has passed onto her girls.
Shirley is preceded in death by her parents Helen and Bert McCloughan, her sister Sharon, sister Catherine Petersen, brother James McCloughan, and spouse Ronald Vontz.
Shirley is survived by daughters Marci Vontz-Lewis(Brian Lewis) of York, NE and LeeAnn Hampton (Dave) Lincoln; aunt Melvina Parker of Lincoln; sister-in-law Nadda McCloughan of Valentine, NE; brother and sister-in-law Steve and Bethine Vontz of McCook, NE; 8 grandchildren Caleb, Layce, Connor, Bradley, Abigail, Rylan, Sasha, and Amelia. Shirley is also survived my many loved cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.
While we are saddened that her earthly body was worn out and her time here with us was done, we are joyous that she is now free of pain and can be reuinited with our Heavenly Father and all those that have passed before her.

Kathleen Ann Lockert
Kathleen A. Lockert passed away peacefully on October 4, 2017 at Bryan East Hospital with her family by her side.
Kathy was born March 5, 1949 in Green Bay, Wisconsin to Kenneth and Florence Stonebrook where she lived until coming to Union College in Lincoln in 1967. She graduated from Union College with an Associate Degree in 1969.
It was at Union College where she met her future husband, Stephen Lockert, and they were united in marriage in 1969 and from this union sons, Matthew (Matt) and Eric were born.
Kathy worked for Citizens State Bank and Krueger Carpet for a few years before becoming a full time mother and homemaker.
In spite of dealing with rheumatoid arthritis for four decades, Kathy displayed courage and lived an active life raising her two sons, being a loving wife, active with dear friends, walking her beloved golden retrievers in the Southwood neighborhood, and day caring her three grand children, Jordan, Eli, and Norah after school. Her sweet disposition and love for her family knew no bounds.
As a Green Bay, Wisconsin native she was, of course, a lifelong Green Bay Packer fan as well as her husband Stephen. After coming to Lincoln in 1969 she soon became a fan of the Cornhuskers and Kansas City Royals. Besides her family she will be sorely missed by best friends, Renee Lutz of Lincoln and Louise Coy of Redlands, California as well as countless others.
Kathleen was preceded in death by her parents Kenneth and Florence Stonebrook.
She will be greatly missed by her husband of 48 years, Stephen, her sons, Matt and Eric, daughter in law Christine, grandchildren Jordan, Eli, and Norah, and her brother, David Stonebrook and sister in law Bonnie Stonebrook, and her beloved golden retriever Champ. Many other nephews and nieces, friends and acquaintances will miss Kathy.
Her determination and zest for life, despite her limitations of rheumatoid arthritis, were inspiring and courageous.
