Bio
Alice Mae Ouderkirk, 85, of Morrill, Nebraska, passed away Thursday, August 25, 2016 at Chimney Rock Villa in Bayard, Nebraska. She was born December 8, 1930, the first child of W.H. “Bill” and Nina Leah (Banta) Houser on her great uncle Mike Honeycutt’s homestead near Lyman, Nebraska. Alice attended rural schools in the Panhandle until she was 15. Her family then moved to rural Ashland, KY where Alice attended her junior year of high school. The family returned to Mitchell where Alice graduated with the class of 1948. On June 19, 1949, Alice was united in marriage to Leslie “Bud” Ouderkirk in Harrisburg, Nebraska. Shortly after their marriage, they purchased a farm northwest of Morrill where they made their home for a number of years. In 1964, they sold their farm and moved into Morrill. They purchased their own home in Morrill in 1982 where Alice resided until finally residing at Chimney Rock Villa in Bayard. Alice was a people person. She was always there to lend a helping hand or to run an errand. She often laughed that her cars were automatically programmed to take her friends to their doctor appointments or to the hospital. She enjoyed shopping, and visiting with friends and family. Alice was very proud of her family and their accomplishments. Holidays were always centered around her living room table with all of her family and her brothers and sisters and as many of their families as could come. She was a good cook and everyone enjoyed sharing their time together. Alice worked at various jobs, among them were being a Nurse’s Aide at hospitals in Scottsbluff and Torrington. She also worked at a meat packing plant in Torrington for a time. She attended Sovereign Grace Church in Morrill. Alice is survived by: five children, Sharon (Jesse) Sotvik, Leslie William (Kimberly) Ouderkirk, Nila (Dan) Clifton, James Dean Ouderkirk, and Scot (Lisa) Ouderkirk; seven grandchildren; ten great grandchildren; three great-great grandchildren; siblings, Florence (Bob) Hale, Clinton (Mavis) Houser, Nancy Howard, Harold (Mary Lou) Houser, Annetta Murrell, Billy (Amy) Houser, and Kay Houser; aunt, Idoramae Hickman; and numerous nieces and nephews.
