"I was born December 3, 1929, to James Emmett and Hazel (Williams) Doyle at the Ed and Dora Munger homestead 7 miles south of Brocksburg, NE. I was named after my mother's sister, Helen, and Delores from a play my father had a part in. I was the eldest of five children, Harlan, Marian, LeRoy, and DeAnna. I was thirteen when my mother passed at the age of thirty-four and helped raise my younger siblings. I met Edward Henry Schmitz at a dance in Naper, NE in 1944 while he was home on leave from the army. We were married on November 19, 1946, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Naper. We had nine children. Best years of my life. We moved to Igloo, SD in 1950 and worked at Black Hills Ord. Depot. Eddie was a boiler fireman, and I worked on restoring munitions -such as linking machine gun belts (placing tracers every tenth round), "Bouncing Betty" land mines, rifle and hand grenades, mortars, mustard gas canisters, 800-1,000 lb. bombs, and T.N.T. powder. Very interesting job replacing parts that were bad. In 1966, Eddie was transferred to Fort Carson in Colorado Springs and then moved to Newport, NE, where we owned and operated Highway 20 Bar until 1973. We then moved to Butte, NE, where I worked at the Butte Nursing Home as a care staff member until my retirement in 1999. I moved to Lynch, NE, to be closer to two of my daughters and their families. After fourteen years, I moved back to Butte, where I resided in Country View Manor until June 2021, when I moved to Alpine Village in Verdigre, NE." Helen Delores Schmitz passed away peacefully on September 20, 2021, surrounded by her loving family. She was a very strong and determined woman who lived with great faith and love for her family and friends. Delores was very proud of her twenty-four grandchildren, forty-nine great-grandchildren, and seventeen great-great-grandchildren. She was very talented and spent many hours crocheting and sewing, playing bingo and cards, and corresponding and video messaging on Facebook with her family and friends. Survivors are Carol Hollenbeck, Craig (Linda) Schmitz, Lanette Reynolds, Suzy Daily, Gayle (Roger) Lampman, Rex (Brenda) Schmitz, Brenda Schonebaum, Debra (Michael) Heiser, and Dianne (Kelly) Kalkowski; sisters, DeAnna (Darrell) Schrader and Marian Finwall; along with numerous nieces and nephews. Delores was preceded in death by her parents, Emmett and Hazel; husband, Edward; brothers, LeRoy and Harlan; brother-in-law, Darrell Finwall; sons-in-law, Gary, Marvin, Tim, and Jerry; two grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.
