Bio
A Graveside Memorial Service for Caroline will be in the Bohemian National Cemetery some time this spring. More information will follow. =========================================================== Caroline Marie Bures was born to Edward Kubes and Adelaide (Novak) Kubes on May 18, 1925, near Hubbell, Nebraska, and passed away on January 18, 2021, at Heritage Crossings in Geneva, Nebraska at the age of 95 years and 8 months. She was one of three children in the family. Caroline was raised on a farm near Hubbell where she started helping her mother with chores at the age of three. She attended Lamb school through the 8th grade where she walked two miles every day. She then attended Hubbell High School and graduated with the class of 1943. After that, Caroline furthered her education in Hastings, Nebraska, and earned her teaching certificate. She taught in a rural school near Hubbell. In her free time, Caroline would go to dances at the Saline Center where she met her future husband Erwin Bures of Exeter. They were married in Lincoln, Nebraska on September 30, 1947. Erwin and Caroline eventually settled on the Bures family farm south of Exeter and continued farming. In 1948, their first daughter, Pamela Louise, was born, and in 1950, their second daughter, Donna Jean, was born. After Erwin’s death on January 3, 1982, Caroline remained on the farm and started working at Mom’s Cafe with her daughter, Donna, and granddaughter Amy. Her cinnamon rolls and pies were what she was most famous for. What some may not know, is that she peeled gallons and gallons of potatoes almost every day for the mouthwatering mashed potatoes that were served. After the cafe closed in 2011, Caroline lived out on the farm gardening and mowing the lawn. Caroline was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Erwin; brother, Edward Jr., who was killed in the Korean War; brother Lawerence Kubes; as well as son-in-law Bob Wetton. She is survived by her two daughters Pam Wetton and Donna Sorenson of Exeter; grandchildren, Amy (Tony) Wurtz and their children, Taylor and Austin, of Geneva; and Jason Maier and his step-daughters, Patience and Bailey, of Geneva; sister-in-law Pat Kubes; and nephew Larry (Katie) Kubes. Caroline chose cremation and will be buried in the Bohemian National Cemetery in Milligan, Nebraska at a later date. Farmer and Son Funeral Home is in care of the arrangements and online condolences can be left at www.farmerandsonfuneralhome.com.
