20906 I42312  Sinclair  Marjorie Louise  19 Jun 1908  3 Aug 2010  MARJORIE SINCLAIR WOODS passed away peacefully in her sleep on the evening of Tuesday, 3rd of August 2010. Marjorie was born in June, 1908 to Thomas Albert Sinclair and wife, Mary Ella. She was raised in the Heights, on the Boulevard, where she attended Cooley School, and both Heights High and Reagan High Schools, while later attending and graduating from Texas Christian University in the early 30s.

Her father, Thomas Albert, was the founder and builder of Heights Hospital that stood and served the people of the area on the corner of 19th and Ashland Avenue. This hospital was later torn down, rebuilt again on the same location, still serving the people of the area as "Heights Hospital." Marjorie worked as a nurse at her father's hospital, and later she taught shorthand at a business college "downtown", where she amazingly met and was attracted to a man named Lyndon Johnson, a debating coach/teacher at the school, who, to the relief of her father, was soon off to Washington.

Later she would meet and wed a young doctor who was working at her father's hospital, having two children, Ann and Bill, who grew up in the then new addition of "Garden Oaks", while World War II raged overseas.Marjorie very much enjoyed the game of "Bridge" with her friends, and was quite active in the women's organization of the PEOs her entire life.

Her daughter, Ann Synnott, met and married a young lumberman named Fagan Arnold Cox, having four children, Keith, the eldest, daughter Shari, and sons David and Tom Cox. Keith, living now in Philadelphia with wife Melanie, have three children, son Carter, a student at Vanderbuilt, a daughter Clemens, a student at the University of California in Los Angeles, and the youngest of the three, daughter Calloway , now in high school. Tom Cox and wife Nan have four children, three girls, Katie, Elizabeth, and the youngest, Ann Grace, and son Burrus, who live in Nashville, Tennessee. David Cox and wife Joan live in Houston, continuing the father's lumber business. They have three beautiful children, two boys, Christy, the eldest, Trenton, a student at Lamar, and daughter Margo.These ten new members of the family, the great grandchildren of Marjorie, are the future, earning her the title "Great Mother" to all of those who most dearly love her.

Marjorie is survived as well by son-in-law Conway Hall, a businessman in Houston, married now to Marjorie's daughter Ann. Marjorie also is survived by her brother, Thomas A. Sinclair II and his wife, Lucille of Kerrville, Texas.

Friends are cordially invited to a visitation with the family from six o'clock until eight o'clock in the evening on Friday, the 6th of August, at Geo. H. Lewis & Sons, 1010 Bering Drive in Houston.The interment service is to be conducted at half past ten o'clock in the morning on Saturday, the 7th of August, at Forest Park Lawndale Cemetery, 6900 Lawndale Avenue in Houston, where the Rev. Reagan Cocke, Associate Rector, of Church of St. John the Divine is to officiate.In lieu of flowers and customary remembrances, donations may be directed to any charity of one's choice.

Visitation, Sunday March 19, 2023, from 2pm to 8pm at Lauber Funeral and Cremation Services, Friend, NE.

Interment to follow service, Wilber Czech Cemetery, Wilber, NE.

Shirley Anne Sladek of Friend, NE passed away Wednesday March 15, 2023, in Lincoln, NE at the age of 79. Shirley was born August 17, 1943 to Rudolph and Engeline (Langhorst) Slama in Beatrice, NE, the third of six children.

Shirley grew up with her family near Swanton, NE and later moved with her family to a farm south of Friend, NE. Shirley especially loved working with her dad on the farm, milking cows, hauling bales, and doing anything outside was her favorite place to be.

After graduating from Friend High School in 1961 she attended business school in Omaha, NE and then began working at the Crete Mills, where she met her husband, William Sladek Jr. Bill and Shirley were married October 19, 1963, and to this union six children were born, Bill, Peggy, Kathy, Christy, Rex, and David.

Shirley loved cooking, gardening, crocheting, sewing, playing cards, and caring for her family. She raised and canned almost everything her family ate and her cooking was THE BEST. She loved treating co-workers, neighbors, and businesses with her tremendous goods and it was always said that she could make shoe leather taste good. She loved sharing and had a heart of gold, with a great smile, contagious laugh, and was a pillar of strength. Her work ethic was second to none, and she could run circles around those young enough to be her grandchildren. She was incredible.

Shirley was a dedicated, reliable LPN and licensed EMT for many years. She worked countless shifts over the years at Friend, Geneva, and Exeter. The highlight of her nursing career was being able to attend the C-Section birth of a patient's child. She was honored to be able to share in such a special moment and always said what an incredible experience it was.

During her retirement years Shirley enjoyed helping in the school kitchen and really enjoyed watching the kids grow and follow their activities.

Shirley is survived by her children, Bill (Tammy) Sladek of Cordova, NE, Peggy (Billy) Baugh of Friend, NE, Christy (Jeremy) Wagner of Denver, IA, David (Vanessa) Sladek of Friend, NE. Grandchildren, Kelly (Mitch) Rischling of Milligan, NE, Kimberly (Tanner) Gloystein of Exeter, NE, Brett Baugh, Becky Williamson of Crete, NE, Jordyn Baugh (Joe Bechtle) of Lincoln, NE, Brooke Baugh of LaVista, NE, Jakob and Lucas Wagner of Denver, IA, Kyler, Hadley, and Bristol Sladek of Friend, NE, four great grandchildren. Siblings, Norman (Mona) Slama of Lincoln, NE, Janice (Jerry) Heyen of Yakima, WA, Karen Clem of Bellingham, WA. Several nieces and nephews.

Many people enjoyed Dorothy's embroidery handiwork. She completed over 70 sets of tea towels for the Milligan Methodist Church.
