Obituary:
Boyd Marshall DeGarmo was born to Perry Asbury and Florence DeGarmo on June 26, 1910, north of Stratton, Nebraska, and died August 19, 1988, at Dundy County Hospital in Benkelman, Nebraska.
Boyd's mother died when he was only seven years old. There were just the two boys in the family and the older brother, Ira Clarence, died as a small child with pneumonia. After his mother's death, Boyd went to live with his grandparents. Several years passed by and one day his father received a letter from him expressing a desire to see him and from then on he lived with his father in Stratton.
His crippled father and he worked in Oakley's Wrecking Yard in Benkelman, and later Boyd purchased a small building and started auto repair and painting. Before long he was on his own, thus helping his father.
On August 31, 1932, Boyd was married to Faith Young. She taught school and he had the Kaiser-Frazer dealership called DeGarmo Motors. Through their diligent efforts they made good, but Faith's health began to fail and in 1951 she was laid to rest.
After Faith's death he moved to Colorado Springs. Colorado, and worked in Croyle's Furniture Store.
In 1953 on May 8, he was united in marriage to Lorna Schmitt and to this union were born three sons: Willis, Wendell and Kenneth. Perhaps the boys best remember their father as an auto body man. He did excellent work and taught his boys many techniques.
Boyd had a desire for spiritual things and several years ago while attending a Sunday morning service in the Emmanuel Chapel in Hayes Center, Nebraska, where he resided, the Lord saved him, blotting out his transgressions and making him a new creature in Christ Jesus. His heart was filled to overflowing with his new-found joy.
Boyd was taken to the hospital the evening of August 13 and early in the morning of August 19, the Lord took him Home to be with Him forever.
Boyd was a good, kind father and a good provider for his family. He was also a loving, considerate husband.
He leaves behind his wile, Lorna; his sons: Willis and his wife, Linda, and their two children of Colorado Springs, Wendell of Hastings, Nebraska, and Kenneth and his wife, Kathy, and two children.
Those preceding him in death are his mother, father and brother.
Services were held Monday, August 22, 1988, at 2 p.m. at Jones Funeral Chapel in Benkelman with the Rev. Albert 0. Hartman officiating. Organist was Carol Mattern. David Belize, Ken Bignell, Steven Steidel and Ken Ganger sang "When We See Christ" and "Saved By Grace."
