Doris M. Artz, age 85, of Lexington, formerly of Elwood, died Friday, July 23, 
2010 at the Tri County Hospital in Lexington.

Services will be held on Tuesday, July 27, 2010 at 10:30 a.m. at the First 
Christian Church at Elwood with Pastor Linda Newman officiating.  Burial will 
be held at the Elwood Cemetery.

Visitation will be held an hour prior to service time at the church on Tuesday.

Doris was born Jan. 12, 1925 to Herman and Marie (Schultz) Lierman on a farm 
west of Eustis.  The family moved to a farm south of Elwood when she was 
three; and later, into town.  She graduated from Elwood High School in 1944.  
Following her schooling, Doris worked for a time at Brewster Hospital in 
Holdrege. 

On April 27, 1947, she married Chester Artz of Huntley.  The couple made their 
home in Elwood where they raised their family.  Their marriage was blessed 
with three children; Glenn, Kay and Nancy.  

She was a member of the First Christian Church in Elwood where she was active 
in CWF, taught Sunday School for eight years, sang in the choir, and helped 
put together many booths for the Gosper County Fair.  She belonged to the 
neighborhood birthday club and was always concerned about her friends and 
neighbors.  She was an excellent seamstress and made many clothes for her 
daughters, including a wedding dress.  She also made costumes for Halloween 
and school operettas.  Her beautiful flowers were her special pleasure, but 
her family was her greatest joy.  She especially liked having her 
grandchildren stay with her when they were growing up.

Survivors include her two daughters, Kay (Kent) Brockmeier of Eustis, Nancy 
(Steve) Israel of Novato, Calif.; son, Glenn (Roberta) Artz of Doniphan; 
sister, Lorraine Schneider of Elwood; brother, Gilbert Lierman of Hastings; 
sisters-in-law, Mardelle Lierman of Boulder, Colo., Inez Lierman of Hastings,

Artz of Huntley and Lela Dier of Holdrege; brothers-in-law, Gordon Byler of 
Alma, Bennie Joe Sindt of Franklin, John Dier of Holdrege; five grandchildren, 
Bryant (Amanda) Brockmeier of Eustis, Craig (Cathy) Brockmeier of Grand 
Island, Jodi (Mike) Azevedo of Overland Park, Kan., Chad (Helen) Artz of 
Lakewood, Colo., and Darin Artz of Lincoln; nine great-grandchildren, Evan, 
Reid, Jennae, Erin and Gage Brockmeier, Brooklyn Azevedo, David, Anthony and 
Gena Artz; step-great-grandchildren, Desiree, Kristina and Alicia Viveros and 
Lane Baxter.

Doris was preceded in death by her husband, Chester Artz, in 1987; sister,
