Willis William Suckut, 96, of Carrington, North Dakota, passed away on November 26, 2020 at Golden Acres Manor in Carrington. Willis was born on August 2, 1924 in rural Bowdon, ND, to Asaph and Lydia Suckut. The family farmed in the Heaton, ND, area. On March 22, 1946, Willis married Anna Mae Nelson. They started farming in the New Home area by Sykeston in 1951. They enjoyed playing cards and square dancing while raising their 4 children. In 1968, they moved to Carrington while continuing to farm. Once he retired in 1986, he continued to help his son, Terry on the farm. Willis played bingo 2-3 times a week and loved to play Pinochle, Farkle and Golf. He never wanted to miss seeing his friends at the Senior Citizen Center or playing the game of the day. Even during his last couple years at Golden Acres, he wanted to sit out in the entry so he could see and talk to people that came in. Willis is survived by his four children, Gary (Marilyn), Summerset, SD; Terry, Sykeston, ND; Lonnie (Connie), Grand Forks, ND; and Heidi (Steve) Carr, Wheaton, IL. Grandchildren, Todd (Jennifer) Suckut, Tanya (Paul) Cain, Jason (Angie) Suckut, Kristin (Tom) Speldrich, Justin Suckut, Alex and Sami Carr.

Just A Farmer

“Just a farmer,” you said, And I laughed ‘cause I knew

All the things that farmers Must be able to do.

They must study the land,

Then watch the sky And figure just when

Is the right time and why.

To sow and to plant To buy and to sell

To go to the market With cattle and well-

You know the books

That farmers must keep To pay all those taxes And be able to sleep.

And you know the fixin’

That farmers must do When machines like mad monsters

Break a gasket or two.

I guess when God needed Folks to care for his earth He chose “just farmers”

‘Cause He knew their true worth. -Helen G. Coon
