Mary "Ike" Lind

Mary Louise "Ike" Lind, 93, formerly of Scottsbluff, NE passed away peacefully at Kearney Regional Hospital, Kearney, NE on Tuesday, October 11, 2022. Ike, as she was lovingly known to many, was born on May 10, 1929 in Scottsbluff, NE to James "JL"and Inez (Richardson) Lippincott. She attended Lyman High School and graduated in 1946. She married Raymond Lind on June 13, 1948. The couple made their home on a farm south of Lyman, NE and farmed successfully for 43 years. Upon retirement the couple moved to Scottsbluff, NE until 2010 when they moved to Hastings, NE to be close to their children. Ike partnered with her husband to raise sugar beets for many years. She loved being a farm wife and was extremely proud of the Scotts Bluff County community. She enjoyed helping her children with 4-H projects, was a member of the Lyman and Scottsbluff Methodist Churches and was a member of the Eastern Star Chapter of Lyman, NE. She was known in her community for her delicious cinnamon rolls, her devotion to and willingness to always help a neighbor and her love of the sugar beet industry. She also was instrumental in raising funds for a kidney dialysis unit for the Scottsbluff community in the 1970’s. She would tell you her proudest and most important accomplishment would be the success of her children and their families. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband and her sister and brother-in-law, Jean and Don Lind, and many sister-in-laws and brother-in laws. She is survived by her children Steve (Diana) Lind of Kearney, NE; Beth (Ron) Ganer of Gilbert, AZ; Judy (Marty) Hoch of Hastings, NE; grandchildren Lindsey (Sam) Reznicek of Steamboat Springs, CO; Jeff (Rachel) Hoch, Omaha, NE; Zachery (Emily) Lind, Lincoln, NE; Tyler Lind, Iowa City, IA; great- grandchildren Allison and Claire Reznicek, Steamboat Springs, CO; Heath and Reese Hoch, Omaha, NE; niece Janet Lind, of Castle Rock, CO.
