Bio
GRAVESIDE SERVICE St. Catherine Catholic Cemetery Friday, May 28, 2021 Indianola, NE On October 21, 2020 the Sughroue family lost a loving father, husband, uncle, cousin, and friend following a hospital stay at Tri Valley Health System in Cambridge as a result of Covid-19. Thomas Daniel Sughroue, 82, the youngest child of Frank and Johanna (Schutte) Sughroue came into the world on April 30, 1938 in their home near Indianola, Nebraska. Tom received his education and graduated from Indianola High School. He was a member of the United States Army Reserve from 1956-1964. Tom received two years of further education at McCook Community College. He spent most of his working career in construction, eventually with his own business, Sughroue Contruction Company. Tom was easy to recognize in his overalls and flannel, work boots & cap. Always ready with a humorous quip, his presence was met with a smile and laughter. His hands were his craft and his precision his art; capable of transforming a piece of wood into a beautiful masterpiece. He loved the outdoors whether hunting, fishing, working, or just sitting quietly watching the natural wonder of life unfold around him. He held a special love for the purple martins who made their migratory stop at the little hotel park he created for them. Tom is survived by his loving wife and partner of many years, Mary Vrbas of Culbertson; children: Michelle (Kent) Wurm from Shawnee, KS, Crystal Sughroue from Hastings, NE, Stephanie (Bill) Haag from Danbury, NE, Tom (Kim) Sughroue from Indianola, NE, and Josh (Jessica) Vrbas from McCook, NE; 12 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren; sister, Nellie Ryan; sisters-in-law, Jean (surviving wife of Don) and Marge (surviving wife of Charles); former wife, Sharon Deon; many nieces and nephews, cousins and friends. He is welcomed into the loving embrace of his mom (Johanna), dad (Frank), brothers, Gerald (wife Ann), Charles (deceased wife Rita), Don, Jim (wife Leah), sisters, Francis (Clayton Green, Joe Allen) and Mary Lyons(Dale) and brother-in-law Jim Ryan (deceased husband of Nellie) as they share eternal afterlife together. I can hear the laughter now. GRAVESIDE SERVICE St. Catherine Catholic Cemetery Friday, May 28, 2021 Indianola, NE
