Doug and Mary Vap

50th anniversary

The family of Mary and Doug Vap of Aurora, Colo., is requesting a card shower in honor of the couple’s 50th wedding anniversary on Saturday, Sept. 22. They were married in 1968 at Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church in Gothenburg, Neb. They lived in McCook for 48 years before moving to Colorado to be closer to family. Doug is a 1957 graduate of McCook High School and ran the family business, Vap’s Seed and Hardware on East B street. Mary’s career as a medical technician kept her walking the halls at McCook Community Hospital before her retirement in 2007. They loved their time in McCook as they were active in numerous community organizations and loved spending time with their many friends. If you can find a survivor of one of Southwest Nebraska’s numerous sailing regattas, you might hear a story or two (beware, they are not for mixed company).Their family includes children, Nicole Vap and Drew Sidener of Denver, Colo., and Aaron and Alicia Vap of Minneapolis, Minn., and four grandchildren. Cards of congratulations will reach them at 14390 East Marina Drive #509, Aurora, CO 80014.
