Ahlers, age 91, of Sun City, Arizona, and formerly of Naper and O'Neill, Nebraska, passed away Tuesday, July 14, 2015, at Sun Valley Lodge Nursing Center in Sun City. He was born March 30, 1924 at Herrick, South Dakota, the son of August and Anna (Seevers) Ahlers. Walter was second of five children. He was baptized into the Lutheran faith as an infant and remained a member throughout his life. In October of 1943, Walter entered the service and served during World War II in Germany, Austria and France. He was honorably discharged in February of 1946. After returning home following the war, Walter met the young teacher who was boarding with his parents. He and this teacher, Betty Conklin, fell in love and married in Naper, Nebraska on December 24, 1948. The wedding had to be postponed from November because of a blizzard. To this union four children were born. Early in Walter and Betty's married life, they farmed in South Dakota for a little over a year. Walter then became part owner of Naper Super Service in Naper. In early 1953, Walter sold his half of the service station and he and Betty moved to a farm east of Naper. Walter and Betty spent most of their lives farming in Boyd County, Nebraska. During that time, Walter worked to establish the first operating rural water district in Nebraska. He was chairman of the board for several years. In 1991, Walter retired from farming and he and Betty moved to O'Neill. After retirement, he and Betty did a lot of traveling in their motor home, including a trip to Alaska. Then in 2010, Walter and Betty moved to Sun City, where their oldest son is a pastor at Our Savior Lutheran Church. Walter enjoyed spending time with his family and visiting with friends.
