Obituary

LaRue Louise Emilie Wilhemine "Blondie" (Daehling) Pollock was born September 29, 1923, on the family farm southwest of Staplehurst, Nebraska, the daughter of Otto E. and Frieda (Pflughaupt) Daehling. LaRue passed away in Seward, Nebraska on February 18, 2018, at the age of 94 years, 4 months and 20 days. LaRue was baptized into the Christian Faith on October 21, 1923, at Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, Marysville. She attended Christian Day School and confirmed her faith on April 18, 1937, also at Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, Marysville. She graduated from Staplehurst High School on May 19, 1939.

On September 10, 1944, LaRue was united in marriage to Robert "Bob" Pollock in Marysville, Kansas. They celebrated 70 years of marriage in 2014. Bob and LaRue made their home in Utica. LaRue had her own cafe, "Blondie's Cafe," which she operated from 1946-1951. In 1952, Pollock Bros. Implement and Hardware was founded by Louis, Harold and Bob. LaRue worked as a bookkeeper for the family business until their retirement in 1993. LaRue and Bob were dedicated ambassadors for their Utica community. LaRue enjoyed putting together jigsaw puzzles and completing word-finds, keeping her mind as 'sharp as a tack.' She also enjoyed watching sports on t.v., especially the Kansas City Royals.
