Delores 'Dude' Marie Drain

October 23, 1937 — February 18, 2022

Delores Marie Drain was born October 23, 1937 to Lee and Ruth Steinke in Trenton, NE. She passed away on February 18, 2022 at Hillcrest Caring Center in McCook, NE. Dude received her nickname at a very young age and was only Delores to strangers. Dude attended school in Trenton and married her neighbor, Ron Drain, on December 20, 1953. Ron and Dude spent their lives farming and ranching, and raising their family on the land where they were raised. Dude devoted her life to her family, farm, and friends. Her fun loving nature and easy laughter made her a crowd favorite at farm auctions for miles around. Dudes love of antiques, along with her crafting, sewing, and decorating talents made a visit to her home an adventure. Many local womens clubs made a tour of her home a destination. With her toolbox that consisted of a hammer, spray paint, and glue gun with many glue sticks, Dude would tackle any project. There was never a need for a tape measure when you could just eyeball it. Dude was proceeded in death by Ron in September of 2002. Dude is survived by her daughter, Lisa (Roger) Lewis, and her sons, Kevin (Joni), Kim (Tammy), and Kyle (Linda). Dudes grandchildren are Kris (Tara) Drain, Katie (Aaron) Brennan, Isabell Sheets, Jessi (Gus) Gestenslagger, Wes (Jackie) Drain, Lindsey (Brandon) Kluthe, Lacey (Luke) Alig, Lexey (Steve) Humphrey, Laramey (Dexter) Becker. Great grandchildren are Taylor, Kassidy, Kenzy, Bo, Gracie, Reagan, Maddie, Collin, Kaiah, Case, Karter, Karlee, Koby, Kyndal, Amos, Arlo, Potter, Evan, Cohen, Miller, Hatterton, Tilsyn, and Lewellyn. Dude is also survived by her sisters, Dianne (Daniel) Dotson and Dixie Brookshire and their families. In respect to Dudes wishes, a private family ceremony was held. A casual coffee and cookie gathering for family and friends will be held at the TCDC in Trenton on Tuesday afternoon from 2:00-3:00. Dudes family would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the entire staff at Hillcrest for the loving care given to our Mom, Grandma, and Sister for the past 3 years.
