Faith Irene (Mattox) Harrold passed away May 23, 2013, in Kearney.
Faith was born on Oct. 3, 1930, to William Wesley (Bunt) and Virginia Mildred (Apperson) Mattox at the family farm in Rose Valley where she attended school, graduating from Broken Bow High School with the class of 1947.
On Oct. 3, 1949, she married Orville W. Harrold at the Fairbury Nazarene Church. She lived her entire life in Custer County.
In 1955, they moved to their home in Swiss Valley. Faith was Orville’s partner and helpmate in all parts of their ranch and farm operations. Orville said she was the best hired man he ever had. Three daughters were born there.
In 1998, they semi-retired and moved from their farm home of 43 years to Broken Bow. She worked part-time at a craft store, Hallmark card shop and other odd jobs. She was always willing to help and never learned to say “no.”
She was a member of the E Free Church in Broken Bow, the last surviving original member of the Senators Extension Club, Royal Neighbors of America Lodge, and was on the executive board of Christian Women’s Club for 30-plus years.
She did a lot of sewing, crocheting and knitting in her early married life, but later her love was counted cross-stitch, which she did for hire and friends. She enjoyed baking and sharing with friends and neighbors. Her homemade chicken and noodles, apple pie, pancakes, baked beans and sweet corn were some of the grandkids’ favorites.
It was her faith that kept her going in good times and bad.
She was preceded in death by her parents and one brother, Donald Mattox.
She is survived by her husband of 63 years, Orville; her daughters, Gloria (Dean) Duryea, of Merna, Neva (John) Meyerhoff, of Randolph, N.J., and Melanie (Bill) Lovgren, of Omaha; one grandson, Adam (Erin) Duryea, of Merna; five granddaughters, Rebecca (Doug) White, of Merna, Casi Meyerhoff, of Hoboken, N.J., Ashley Meyerhoff, of Lincoln, Emily (Vince) Lau and Olivia Lovgren, of Omaha; three great-grandsons, Zachary Hammond, of Broken Bow, Destrey Duryea, of Merna; Ayden and Trevor Duryea, of Merna; one great-granddaughter, Cassidy Hammond, of Merna; brothers, Max (Donna) Mattox, of Broken Bow, Dale (Beverly) Mattox, of Cheyenne, Wyo., Joe (Neva) Mattox, of Broken Bow; two sisters, Darlene Mattox, of Broken Bow; Carolyn (Roger) Miles, of Lincoln; one sister-in- law, Luella, of Bakersfield, Calif.; and a host of nieces, nephews and cousins.
Services will be at 11 a.m., today, at the Evangelical Free Church in Broken Bow with Pastor Scot Harvey officiating. Burial will be at the Broken Bow Cemetery. Govier Brothers Mortuary is in charge of arrangements.

, 97, went home to be with our Lord and Savior on May 25, 2013, in Puyallup, Wash.
Vic was born on Feb. 20, 1916, on a farm just north of North Platte, in a little sod house. He graduated from North Platte High School in 1934 and immediately went to work for the Union Pacific Railroad.
He married his high school sweetheart, Lorine Rilma Pinkerton, in 1937. He had a hay farm with his father-in-law in the Nebraska Sandhills, where they raised cattle, sheep, chickens and pigs together.
By 1948, along with his railroad job, he began building homes and by 1954, he and Lorine opened their own real estate agency, P&T Agency. Vic lost his beloved Lorine in a car accident in 1970.
He married Marj Nelson, a dear friend of Lorine’s, in 1971. That same year, he became the general chairman of the UTU and moved to Omaha. After retiring from the UTU in 1975, Vic began building homes in Omaha until 2002, when he fully retired at 86 years young.
Vic was always a fun-loving, spur-of-the-moment kind of guy. He was a faithful husband, dad, grandpa and friend to all. He enjoyed being involved with the Shriners, Elks and Masons. He loved playing card games like bridge, cribbage, canasta or pitch, as long as he could win. He loved to travel and spend his winters in Arizona. He loved to buy and sell new cars. He loved to eat out at restaurants and he was an avid Nebraska Cornhusker fan, too. Vic loved life and everyone he met loved him. He will be missed.
Vic was preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Daisy Tatman; his brothers, Harold, Lloyd and Hugo; his sisters, Opal Tatman, Dorothy Weinberger and Helen Kesler; his first wife, Lorine; his second wife, Marj; and his son-in-law, Mike Grachek.
He is survived by his children, Connie (Mike) Grachek, of Kalispell, Mont., Mary Ann (Phil) Hopkins, of Auburn Wash., Jack Nelson (Christa Geyer), of Denver, Colo., and Pam (Doug) Chandler, of Albuquerque, N.M.; 10 grandchildren, Jeff and Scott Hopkins, Cindy Ames, Mike Grachek Jr., Mary Lorine Hartsoch, Tracy Ceschin, Kari Osborn, Tim and Geoff Chandler and Jenn Donelli; 21 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild, due this October.
