Betty Irene Duchek Uher was born on November 23, 1927 at Dorchester, NE to Joseph and Albina Divoky Duchek. Betty passed away on May 2, 2020, at the Wilber Care Center where she had lived since June 1, 2013. She attended Center school district 60 through the 8th grade. It was at that time she stayed home to take care of her mother who had tuberculosis. Having only an eighth-grade education never stopped her from accomplishing many things. On Aug 27, 1947 she married Otto C. Uher of Western, NE. They spent most of their married life farming near Daykin where they raised their 3 sons. Betty and Otto liked to go to dances with their friends and neighbors. Betty spent many hours taking care of the pigs, chickens, ducks, cattle and her pet turkey. She took an active role in the farming and was a big part of the farrowing operation. She did the farm books until 2010 when the start of the Alzheimer's made the bookkeeping overwhelming. She enjoyed gardening, canning, cooking, sewing, traveling with Otto, reading and doing puzzles. Having grown up in the dirty 30's she never let anything go to waste. After Otto passed, she spent many hours picking up Andy's walnuts and spending hours cracking them. She was a hard worker. She worked 10 years at Alpo and even after putting in a day's work she would come home take a quick nap and spend many hours canning or working with the animals. She took her mother into her home to care for her and was also Otto's caregiver for many years. Betty was baptized and was a member of the Daykin United Methodist Church. She was a member of the Daykin American Legion Auxiliary unit 198 since 1950. She took great pride in making chili and working at the Daykin Consignment sale.
