Lyle passed away peacefully on the morning of November 28, 2016 at GordonMemorialHospital in Gordon, NE.
He was born September 14, 1923 at the Cook homestead near Hay Springs, NE to Henry and Iva (Lawrence) Barth. His father was a farmer and his mother a homemaker. They moved to the Lawrence homestead between Rushville and Hay Springs in 1931. Lyle grew up in this home, helping his parents with the farm that he later purchased. He attended school at District #14 for his elementary years and attended high school at Rushville High School. He met the first love of his life, Iola Mae (Wood) Barth at Hay Springs during high school. They were married on October 30, 1946 in Crawford, NE. From this marriage, four children were born: Peggy Mae (Barth) Brauer, Patricia Kay Barth, Nancy Rae (Barth) Scherbarth and Melvin Henry Barth. They were married 42 years before she lost her battle with cancer. On September 15, 2001, he married his cherished second wife Celia (Sandoz–Ostrander) Barth. They spent several years working the Pine Creek Ranch, growing gardens, attending dances, traveling the United States and abroad, and spending time with family and friends.
He was a member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church where he and Iola attended and raised their children. His lifetime interests included family, gardening, custom harvesting, working with horses, raising cattle and sheep, assisting neighbors with any job needed, attending rodeos, dancing, and visiting with everyone. He never met a stranger, and his favorite saying was “You need any help, holler.” Lyle is survived by spouse Celia Barth of Rushville, NE; daughter Peggy and Randal Brauer of Alma, NE; daughter Nancy and Robert Scherbarth of Alliance, NE; son Melvin and Kathleen Barth of Hay Springs, NE; grandchildren Kristine (Brauer) and Brian McGuire of Huntley, WY, Kimberley (Brauer) and Richard Wohlers of Osceola, MO, William and Rebekka Brauer of Staplehurst, NE, Cynthia “Cindy” (Barth) and Karl Diekevers of Elsie, NE, and Bridget Scherbarth of Rapid City, SD; great-grandchildren Melissa (McGuire) and Mark Shepherd of Fruita, CO, Daly and Kyra McGuire of Huntley, WY, MacKenzie, Skylar, Shaylee, and Makaylee Wohlers of Osceloa, MO, and Dharma and Sierra Brauer of Staplehurst, NE; great-great-grandchildren Mya, Hailey, and Casen of Fruita, CO; five stepchildren with families; brother Glenn and Phyllis Barth of Elkhorn, NE; brother-in-law Rodney Barge of Gering, NE; and many nieces, nephews, and friends.
