Lois Bernelda Beddes
March 5, 1934 - April 21, 2015
Lois Bernelda Beddes,
81, died Tuesday, April 21,
2015, at the New Horizons
Care Center in Lovell. Lois
was the second child born
to Elof Emanuel Erick-
son and Olevine Elizabeth
Genereux.
Her life started on
March 5, 1934, in Stuart,
Holt County, Neb near
Naper, Neb. She was born
in a private home and de-
livered by Mrs. Cadwalder,
a midwife at that time. Lois
was named after Mrs. Cad-
walder's granddaughter,
Lois Bernelda.
For the first few years
Lois' parents lived in Nap-
er, Boyd County, Neb un-
til they later moved to the
land and house where her
Grandpa Erickson home-
steaded. He homestead-
ed before writing to Lois'
grandma, who was still in
Sweden, asking her to come
to America and marry him.
They built a two-story house
that became the home Lois
grew up in. Years ago, Lois
went back to her childhood
home. The house was gone,
but she was able to get a
start off of her grandma's
lilac bush, which still grows
on the northwest corner of
her home in Cowley.
Lois grew up with two
sisters, Maxine and Vir-
ginia, as well as one broth-
er, LeRoy. Their home was
only a hundred yards away
from the Niobrara River
as well as only a few yards
away from a large pond,
creating a big playground
for her and her siblings.
Like all kids in the area,
Lois and her sisters and
brother walked two miles to
a country school and back
home after class. They all
learned to milk cows and
operate farm equipment
while in grade school and
helped on the farm. She
was a child during the stock
market crash and the Great
Depression. It was just
business as usual for them.
It was while staying
with Alberta Hoffman that

Despite the long list of docu-
mented known carcinogens and health
complications that result from smoking, cigarette
use remains the leading preventable cause of death in
the U.S. Over 45 million Americans smoke, resulting
in 480,000 deaths in the U.S. per year, which means 1 out
of S deaths are completely avoidable. Those who continue
to smoke lose an average of 20 years of their life expectancy.
Nicotine affects every organ in the body and has a long
Jack Carpenter list of physical consequences from its use. Unfortunately,
the euphoric pleasures of nicotine initially outweigh the
MHS, PA-C, FAWM insidious physical effects from smoking and it is not until
someone recognizes these effects that they have the desire to quit-at which point they
find themselves addicted.
As a health care provider, I have daily opportunities to talk to people regarding
quitting smoking. Although there are a few people that have no desire to quit, the major-
ity of smokers have found that they have become addicted to nicotine and would like to
quit, but can't. Studies have shown that smokers are much more successful at quitting
when they have help such as moral support, nicotine replacement or someone to quit
with.
For those who have the desire to quit, there are currently two free services to help
you quit. The Wyoming QuitTobacco Program provides free help for quitting tobacco
products. By calling their toll free number (I-800-QUIT-NOW) you will be paired with
a counselor for fifteen minute sessions of 1:1 counseling. They provide free nicotine
patches, gum or lozenges for up to 12 weeks per year. Other medications such as Chan-
tix which has been very effective in smoking cessation may also be available at no cost.
Another free service is the Wyoming Quitnet (wy.quitnet.com). Quitnet is an on-
line service that can allow the registered user to receive online help, as well as reminders
and motivation to help quit smoking.
If you're a smoker and want to quit, try one of these free services and take back
your health.You won't regret it.
