Alice Ellen Krogh

proceeded in death by husband LaRue (Bud) Krogh, daughter Vickie Birdsall, parents Willie and

Chester Buckles, brothers Kenneth, Roy (wife Dolores) and James Buckles, all from Nebraska.

She is survived by her son Gary Krogh (husband Eric Youngberg), son-in-law Stephen (wife

Paula), grandsons Jeff Birdsall (wife Tara), Justin Birdsall (wife Jaime) and two great

grandchildren - Connor and Parker all in the Kansas City area. Also her sisters-in-law are Helen

Alice was born in 1930 on the Winnebago Reservation where her father was Sheriff. Her family

moved to Ruskin, NE to attend school. After graduation, she moved to Lincoln, met Bud and

married. They relocated to Wichita Falls, TX where both children were born and Bud served in

the Air Force. Alice returned to Lincoln with the children when Bud was deployed. Bud

returned to Lincoln where they bought a new house in Bethany where they lived for forty years

until Bud’s death. Alice then bought a condo at the Cotner Center where both children had

attended grade school.

Alice worked over 30 years at Central States Distributors with her best friend Wanda Ebben.

After retiring, she volunteered at the Lincoln VA.

Alice was moved into memory care at Cedar Lake Village in Olathe KS to be closer to family.

She passed away there with family at her side just weeks before her 93rd birthday. Her energy,

kindness and spirit will never be forgotten.

At her request, there will not be a funeral, but a celebration of life (TBA) will be held in Lincoln

later this fall.
