Memorial contributions may be directed to the Sutton Community Home Building Fund for new construction. Arlene Elizabeth Rath was born June 10, 1922, on a farm in Fillmore County, Nebraska. She was third of the seven children of Adolphine (Griess) and Henry Rath. On October 8, 1943, she married Lindell Hanthorn of rural Nuckolls County. They lived briefly in California until Lindell retired from the U.S. Navy, then moved to Missouri, then to Lincoln Nebraska, finally settling on a small farm along the Big Blue River near Lushton. They raised corn and wheat and milo and alfalfa, dairy and beef cattle, hogs, chickens, and four daughters and one son. Arlene attended the country school near her parents’ farm through eighth grade, then went to Sutton High School where she studied normal training to prepare for teaching her own country school right after graduation. She taught country schools in Fillmore and York counties, then moved to “town school” (Sutton Elementary School) for twenty years. She accumulated summertime and night class hours toward Bachelor of Science and Master of Education degrees from the University of Nebraska. Arlene’s life was filled with abundance and joy: From climbing trees to planting trees to harvesting fruit to apple pies. From setting up mobs of baby chickens in the brooder house to gathering the eggs and frying a chicken for Sunday dinner. From finding the newborn calves to milking the cows, to gallons of cream in the icebox, to chocolate ice cream on Sunday night. From art lessons in country school to the art lessons she taught, through her own painting, wood carving, and flower-planting and arranging. She liked geography and history and traveling. She played Pinochle, then Pitch, then Bridge, and finally, Solitaire and Rummy. She told folk tales. She checked out and bought and read books for her children and for her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren, and always for herself. She belonged to a book club. The thread of religion through her life began with her baptism and confirmation at Hope Reformed Church in Sutton. From early prayers in German and attending church with her parents, through taking her own family to church, through reading her Bible every day, she was a happy and confident child of God. She was predeceased by her parents, her husband, her sisters Marion Rasmussen, Helen Smith and Iris Schmahl, and her brothers Robert and Thomas Rath. She is survived by her sister, Virginia (Dale) Richards of Geneva, NE; sister-in-law, Leona Rath of Sutton, NE; children, Nancy Packard of Lincoln; Janine (Daryl) Downing of Joliet, Il; Kathryn (Merle) Schloff of Salisbury, VT; Mary (Bruce) Jensen of Ogallala; Lee (Melissa) Hanthorn of rural York County, and seventeen grandchildren and twenty-six great-grandchildren. Her last years at the Sutton Community Home were years of happiness and contentment.
