Read More	Ellen Panec (a 42-year resident of Fairbury) died October 28, 2011 at Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital in Lincoln following a yearlong battle with lung and brain cancer. Her last weeks were spent suffering multiple injuries following a serious car accident September 19 in Lincoln. Ellen Born March 29, 1943 to the late William and Irma Laun of Tobias, Ellen attended Palmer County school in Saline country until 6th grade, finishing junior high at the Tobias public school. She entered Tobias High School in 1957, graduating in 1961. Ellen was an excellent student and was actively involved in many activities, notably student council, cheerleading, and volleyball, helping her team progress to the state championship in 1959. Raised on a farm northeast of Tobias, Ellen loved the outdoors, favoring a pet sheep for years and riding a favorite horse belonging to her uncle. Following graduation, Ellen married fellow classmate, the late Mick Sokolik. To this union, an only daughter Becky, was born in July 1962. Moving to Lincoln, Ellen was employed by State Farm Insurance for eight years. Relocating to Fairbury in 1969, Ellen assisted the superintendent of the Fairbury Public Schools for five years. She then went to work for local attorney, Bob Lammers, for several years. Thereafter, she and first husband, Mick Sokolik owned the pantry grocery from 1985 to 1990, until their divorce. Operations at the Jefferson County Highway Department next occupied her time and talents, where she worked for the highway superintendent for 10+ years. Later in life Ellen married local attorney, William J. Panec, on December 17, 2004, assisting him in his practice until the last few years. These years were very happy and healthy until the ravages of cancer caused severe suffering and ultimately caused her untimely death. For many years, Ellen was tirelessly devoted to caring for her parents, followed by her aunt and uncle (the late Ted and Agnes Schilke).
