She passed away Sunday, July 14, 2002, at the Hillcrest Care Center in Wray, Colo., at the age of 97. Inez attended country school until the sixth grade when her family moved to University Place, a suburb of Lincoln, Neb. This made it possible for Inez, her five sisters and two brothers to complete their education. Inez graduated from University Place High School in 1921. The next seven years she alternated between teaching in country schools and studying for her teacher's certificate. She graduated from Nebraska Wesleyan University in 1928. After moving west to teach at Parks, Neb., Inez met Ned Tecker, a rancher. Ned and Inez were married in May 1931, a union that would last 57 years. The thirties present a host of challenges for the newlyweds: the Great Depression, grasshopper invasions, duststorms and the 1935 Republican River flood. Extreme joy was brought into their lives with the birth of their son, Hal. The couple along with Ned's father, Frank D. Tecker, continued to operate the ranch at Parks and their summer resort, Forest Inn, located in Rocky Mountain National Park. Forest inn was sold in 1954. Next to the love of home and family, the church played an important role in her life. Inez was a faithful member of the United Methodist Church since the age of 12. She also served on state and national committees of the Y.W.C.A. One of her most rewarding associations was with the Y-Teen group of girls that she organized in the Parks High School. Inez represented her local district on the Nebraska Commission on Aging. She was a member a past president of the Nebraska Sod House Society and a member of P.E.O. and Order of Eastern Star. Inez served on the Parks School Board, Hester Memorial Home Board and Extension Council and was a charter member of the Dundy County Historical Society, with a major interst in the development of the Dundy County Museum. She worked on the committee responsible for publishing the Dundy County History Book and the committee that wrote the Dundy County history for the State Farm Bureau Book. She also co-chaired the festivities as Dundy County celebrated its bi-centennial in 1976. Ned and Inez loved to travel. They toured several European countries, Canada and points of interest in the United States. Inez was never too busy to have a tea party with her three grandchildren, and later her seven great-grandchildren, or to have coffee with a friend. Her basket of yarn was always nearby, and her hands were always busy with her latest knitting project. Inez spent some of her time writing poems which look at the changes in ranching, the cowman's duties on the job and the natural beauty of the rural Midwest. She was content to live in her sod home, where she came as a bride, for 70 years. This spring Inez broke her hip and entered Hillcrest Care Center where she resided until she passed away. Inez was preceded in death by her husband, Ned; her paents, and all of her brothers and sisters and their spouses. She is survived by her son, Hal, and his wife, Doris; granddaughter Audrey Brueggeman and her husband, Fritz; grandson Jon Tecker and his wife, Christina; granddaughter, Carol Peterson and her husband, George, and great-grandchildren Leigh and Alanna Brueggeman, Chelsea, Sye and Paige Tecker, and Meg and Mark Peterson. Many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends also survive her. Funeral services for Inez Tecker were held at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, July 17, 2002, at the United Methodist Church in Haigler, Neb., with the Rev. Richard Pierson officiating. Myrna Mulligan was the pianist and Kelly Hayward sang "Life's Railway to Heaven" and "The Rose of Sharon." The congregational hymn was "Leaning On The Everlasting Arms."
