Edwin Theodore Filips was born on September 7, 1925, in rural Crofton, Nebraska to Frank and Minnie (Ausdemore) Filips. He grew up in the Crofton area and started farming full time after the 8th grade. Ed was a member of the Armed Forces and served until he received an honorable discharge at the end of the WWII. Ed married Anna Mary Klug on May 8, 1957, at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in St. Helena, Nebraska. They made their home for three years on a farm near Crofton before moving to a farm/ranch south and west of Spencer, Nebraska in 1961, where they farmed and ranched, raised their family, practiced their faith, and enjoyed their life. Ed and Anna Mary were members of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Spencer. Family and farming were Ed’s passions. He was active on the farm late into his 80’s until he slowed down to care for Anna Mary as she battled cancer. He was also active in the community, serving on the local NRD board, the Lynch Hospital board, the Spencer Farmers Coop board, and spending several decades as president of the Rural Fire District board. He was also active his entire life in Spencer Legion Post 78. He was a devoted husband, a dedicated farmer, and a loving father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He is survived by four children and their spouses, Roger and Ann of Hartington, NE, Art and Julie Filips of Maryville, MO, Paul and Cindy Filips of Spencer, NE, and Frank and Monique Filips of Torrance, CA; nine grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and one brother, Alfred Filips of Bloomfield, NE.
