Bernadine was born June 13, 1926, on her family's farm northeast of Funk, Nebraska, the second of four siblings in Bernard "Jim" and Luella (Markward) Lilyhorn's family. She grew up on the family farm and graduated from Bertrand High School in 1943. Following high school, she taught in rural, all-grade school for 3 years before attending Nebraska State Teacher's College, Kearney, Nebraska. Bernadine married William H. "Bill" Renken on a rainy September 24, 1955. They raised their four children: Ralph, Rodney, Russell, and Wilma on the farm northwest of Bertrand. Bernadine enjoyed all aspects of farm life: sewing and housework plus driving grain trucks, hauling fertilizer and bringing hot meals to the men in the field. She loved fishing and family vacations. Bernadine lived out her life on the farm. Bernadine was preceded in death by her husband, Bill; her son, Ralph; her brothers: Daryl Liljehorn and Gary Lilyhorn and a sister, Mary Fay who died in infancy. Bernadine is survived by her sons: Rodney Renken of Bertrand and Russell Renken of Ewa Beach, Hawaii; daughter, Wilma Renken of Willcox, Arizona; grandson, William Renken of Charleston, South Carolina; granddaughter, Rachael Renken of Charleston,sister: Sally Johnson of Holdrege, Nebraska: sister-in-law Jane Liljehorn of Holdrege, Nebraska. Additionally, she is survived by a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. "Mom died in the Bryan East Hospital after undergoing aortic valve replacement surgery. She made it through the procedure but coded in the recovery room. They weren't monitoring her at the time. A nurse noticed she wasn't breathing. They revived her but her blood pressure wasn't strong enough for her kidneys to function. A ventilator and several drugs kept her alive three days. Her vital organs failed when toxins built up in her blood. I'm still glad she tried the surgery." - Rod
