Obituary
DORIS (KINDER) SMITH
Doris (Kinder) Smith was born Aug 4, 1930 to Rudy Fujan and Blanche (Davork) Fujan in Sauders County, Nebraska.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Barney Kinder, Sisters Ordie Jensen, Nadine Maxson, Lorraine Carroll, and Brother Donald Fujan.
She is survived by daughter Barnita Williams and son Dan Kinder, both of Louisville, Nebraska, along with siblings Orletha Aldrich, Margie Zetocha, Linda Jurgens, Mary Ann Coffee, Betty Wesley, Clarence Fujan and Butch Kavan, granddaughters Jodie Staben and Jamie Williams, and 5 great grandchildren.
On November 10, 1945, Doris married Barney Kinder, a neighbor boy who lived down the road. They farmed west of Wahoo, and then moved to Gretna where Barney worked as a farm hand. From there they moved to Valley and farmed until they bought a Bar and Grill there in town. Doris and Barney were married for almost 30 years. Several years later, she married Ray Smith. Together they owned and operated a bar in Brainard, Nebraska, until they moved to Washington State. In Washington, Doris spent time working in a department store, and also in a saw mill.
In 1991, returned to Louisville. She lived with her son, until she was able to purchase a little fixer-upper on Depot Street. She was proud of that home, and some years later, she was able to purchase a larger home that had a fenced in yard for her pets. In 2010, her health declined. When faced with the reality of needing additional care, she chose to return to Wahoo, Nebraska, for that was the place that felt like home to her. Her final years were spent at South Haven Living Center, until she passed away there on Wednesday, September 25th, 2013.
Funeral service will be Monday, September 30, 2013, at 10:30 at the First United Methodist Church, 222 Walnut, Louisville, Nebraska, with burial in Riverview Cemetery, Louisville, NE. Family suggests memorials to the families choice.
VISITATION will be Sunday from 1:00 P. M. until 9:00 P.M. with the family greeting friends at the Funeral Home from 3:00 until 5:00 P.M.
