age 60, passed away on Sunday 4/12/2026 at Betsy Johnson Hospital in Dunn. He was born in Elkhart, Indiana, son of the late Lloyd Wayne Kent and Dorothy Leslie Barker. He was preceded in death by his parents, and his nephew, Eric. Steve was a very special person and defied the odds that were given to him as a baby. When the doctors told his parents that he would not have a long life, he proved them all wrong by celebrating his 60th birthday on March 13, 2026. Steve loved his family and enjoyed spending time with them. He loved his music, especially the songs of Charlie Pride, and George Jones, but thanks to the playlist his nephew Nick made him, he also grew to enjoy the songs of Jason Aldean. Steve loved trips to Bojangles to get a BoBerry biscuit and sweet tea. Taking rides in his brother’s truck made him happy, and spending time with his family was one of his favorite things.

He is survived by his brother, Lloyd Kent and wife Sherry of Sanford, North Carolina; sisters, Virginia Novak of Wausaukee, Wisconsin and Mary Darnell of Lancaster, South Carolina; nieces and nephews, Melissa, Nick, Troy, Nathan, Michelle, Adam, Steve, and several great-nieces and nephews.

Nancy Lee Tomko

age 70, passed away on February 2, 2026. Born on October 6, 1955, to Patricia and Leroy Schell, Nancy was one of ten children. She is survived by her siblings: Sheila Pflanzer; Bill (Linda) Schell; Tom (Karen) Schell; Dan Schell; Tim Schell; Steve Schell; Mary Frederickson (Jody); and Jill Schell. She was preceded in death by her parents; her sister, Barb Schell; her brother-in-law, Bob Pflanzer; her husband, Dennis Tomko; her nephew, Ian; and her dear friend, Linda. Nancy is survived by her daughter, Lydia (Hayden) Davison; her beloved grandchildren, Aletheia and Atlas; her stepdaughter, Kristy (Corey) Motto; step-grandchildren Sawyer, Nolan, and Hannah; and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.

Nancy loved animals, especially her cats, and found peace in the beauty of the Northwoods - watching birds and deer and spending time outdoors.

She had a love for music that filled her home, from Patsy Cline and Engelbert Humperdinck to Brooks & Dunn and Celine Dion. She enjoyed live music, craft shows, and decorating - especially around the holidays, when she delighted in finding special pieces that made her home feel warm and welcoming.

Nancy had a gift for creating spaces where people could gather. Whether at home or at “Crazy Guyz,” the backyard bar she helped build and run, she enjoyed hosting others and bringing people together in ways that felt fun, inviting, and full of life.

She will be remembered in the small, meaningful details - her beautiful, unmistakable cursive handwriting, her homemade deviled eggs, and the care packages she sent, including fudgy, chocolate cookies and handwritten notes that made their way to her daughter during college.

Nancy’s life was marked by both joy and hardship, and she will be remembered for the moments of light, connection, and care she brought to those around her.

A gathering to honor her life will be held at the Ashwaubenon Community Center Activity Room (900 Anderson Dr, Ashwaubenon, WI) on Saturday, May 30 from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Family and friends are invited to come and share memories.
