Clifford was preceded in death by his parents; stepfather, Marv Belcher and 
sister-in-law, Nelda Cox. 
 
He was born Aug. 26, 1938, at Wichita, Kan., to Martin Lee and Irma Genevieve 
(Higgins) Cox.   Cliff moved to Lexington as a young man and graduated from 
Lexington High School with the class of 1957.  He then entered the United 
States Army in 1958, serving until he was honorably discharged in 1964.  He 
was united in marriage to the love of his life, Elaine E. Ringenberg on June 
3, 1962, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Lexington.  Two children were blessed 
to this union; Karmajo and David. 
  
After his marriage Clifford worked as a meat cutter at 6th Street Locker and 
Grocery, which was later purchased by Dwight Trautman.  He also worked for the 
State of Nebraska Road Department, Nash-Finch, Coors of Mid-Nebraska, and 
owned and operated Cliff’s Market in Overton from 1980-1989, but perhaps his 
favorite job was his last, he worked as a feedlot cowboy for M and M Feeders 
until he retired in 2007.
    
Clifford was a faithful member of Grace Lutheran Church in Lexington, past 
member of the Jaycees, Overton Fire Department, Civil Defense Director in 
Overton and also rode with the Pony Express.  
 
He had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to tease.  His loves were his 
family and when you asked about his grandchildren, he got such a twinkle in 
his eye.  He loved to fish, ride horses, work and always enjoyed every holiday 
with his family.
