Marie E. Dame

MARIE ELOISE (CLINE) DAME was born January 17, 1921, at Bertha, Nebraska, to Claude and Grace (Ruhe) Cline. She passed away Monday, February 17, 2014, at her home in Oakland.

Marie grew up in Bertha and attended grade school at District 36. She moved to Oakland with her family, where she went to high school graduating in 1939. Marie worked as a waitress in local cafes, and even well into her years, would remember her favorite customers and what their usual orders would be.

On September 24, 1942, Marie married Raymond Dame in Fremont, Nebraska. For the first eight years of their marriage, while Ray was in the Army, they lived in Texas, Oklahoma and Seattle, Washington. Though she enjoyed the travel and making new friends, she always said she loved living in Oakland.

Marie was a member of the First Lutheran Church in Oakland, where she was baptized and confirmed.

Marie enjoyed baking and always had a special treat for any visitors who stopped by. For many years she entered her baked goods, canned goods and produce at the Burt County Fair, where she won many awards. Marie was an avid reader, loved doing crossword puzzles, feeding the birds and anticipating the arrival of the wrens in the spring. She also enjoyed cheering on her favorite NASCAR driver, Mark Martin.

Marie delighted in spending time with her family, especially at holidays.  Thanksgiving was her favorite holiday and she looked forward to everyone sharing in the feast she had prepared. Her family will always treasure the memories of the stories she shared of her long life.

She was preceded in death by her parents; stepfather, Arthur “Skelly” Johnson; husband, Raymond; brother, Dale Cline.

Survivors include her daughters, Mona (Dan) Tanksley of Oakland, Mary Bartels of Akron, IA; son, Tim Dame of Oakland; five grandchildren, ReGina (Jan) Culbertson, Danny (Jeanie) Tanksley, Annie (Eric) Solberg, Sarah (Ryan) Gorsett and Jessica Bartels; six great grandchildren; nieces and nephews.

She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

    Our lives are filled with simple
    Joys and blessings without end
    And one of the greatest joys in
    Life is to have a close family
    We hope you’ll find comfort
    In the thought that your lived one
    Is now in a place of peace and
    That you by your caring made
    A differences through a very
    Difficult time.
    We love you all very much and are so
    Very sorry for your loss.
    Love and sympathy,
    David and Gwen
