The family then moved to Manly for the next 10 years where Perry managed a dairy farm. Finally, they came to Lake Mills in 1974 where the couple were longtime administrators for the Winnebago County Home. Nyleene is survived by her sons, Kevin (Cindy) of Bumpass, Va., Dr. Kieren (Jane) of Seven Valleys, Pa., Kurt (Karen) of Forest City and Kehan (Heather) of Spring Valley, Minn.; five grandchildren; a brother, Dale Bebee of Lee's Summit, Mo.; and many nieces and nephews.
