Read More	Cleo Henkel was born to Leslie H. and Cleo Anabelle (Claffin) Arent on Nov. 28, 1933, on a farm near Stockville. She passed away on May 15, 1996, at the Fillmore County Hospital in Geneva, at the age of 62 years, 5 months and 17 days. She was one of eight children in the family. The family resided on several different farms near Stockville until 1942, at which time they moved to Wichita Kan. Following a year in Wichita, they moved to Rodney, Ark., and in the spring of 1945, returned to Nebraska. Cleo attended and graduated from high school at Aurora in 1952. Cleo was married to Wayne W. Henkel in Aurora on May 13, 1952. Their first child, Joseph W. was born on Oct. 3, 1952. In the spring of 1953, she traveled to California to join Wayne, who was stationed in the Navy. In October of 1954, Carol Ann was born in Astoria, Ore. In January of 1956, Wayne was honorably discharged from military service and the family moved to Arkansas, where Geneice Mae was born on June 3, 1956. The family eventually moved to Geneva, where Royal Dean was born on April 6, 1958. The family lived on a farm near Farimont, eventually settling in a home for the remainder of her life. Cleo was a homemaker and mother first and foremost and spent her time caring for her family. Following their departure from home, she briefly worked at Fairview Manor in Fairmont, and later at Sam's Market. Cleo was a quiet, unassuming person with a gentle nature. The tragic deaths of her two sons left wounds that were never healed. Her grief over the loss of her children resulted in her withdrawing from many social and community endeavors. Throughout her life she always had a love for the outdoors with much time spent gardening. She enjoyed fishing and camping trips whenever possible, and she and Wayne both spent the last two winters in Livingston, Texas, on the lake. They were member of the Fairmont Community Church. Many friends and family will always remember the wonderful pies and doughnuts Cleo prepared. Cleo was preceded in death by her parents, Leslie and Cleo Arent of Superior; her beloved sons, Joseph Wayne and Royal Dean; and grandson, Jeremiah James Albrecht. She is survived by husband, Wayne W. Henkel of Fairmont; daughters, Carol (Ted) Henkel-Albrecht of Ulysses and Geneice (Gaynor) Smith of Clay Center; brothers, Carl Arent of Aurora and Ira Arent of Seadrift, Texas; sisters, Gladys (Richard) Dallas of Danbury, Texas, Helen (Elmer) Druba of Superior, Neva (Derrel) Pendergast of Corpus Christi, Texas; Bonnie (Mack) McMillian of Crockett, Texas and Vivian (Tony) Nabity of Narka, Kan; also surviving are five grandchildren. Funeral services were conducted from the Fairmont Community Church in Fairmont at 2 p.m. on Friday, May 17, with the Rev. Laura Bartels officiating. Nancy Jo Galusha accompanied Greg Rehm, who sang "Rock of Ages" and "One Day at a Time." Casket bearers were Jerry Gangstad, Abe Harms, Ray Johnson, Robert McCoy, Larry Neiman and Duaine "Buck" Roper. Interment was in the Fairmont Public Cemetery.
