Glenn Eugene Horn  (1929-2020)

Julie Ross, age 50, of Fremont, NE passed away Saturday, November 14, 2020 at Methodist Hospital in Omaha, NE.

Julie was born July 13, 1970 in Omaha, NE and was immediately adopted by her loving parents Junior and Nancy Willis of Callaway, NE. Julie grew up on the family ranch north of Callaway. She loved that land and enjoyed helping her dad. Julie enjoyed babysitting and being a life guard and loved being in and near the water her whole life. Julie graduated from Callaway High School in 1989 where she had participated in volleyball, basketball, band, chorus, and cheerleading. Her passions though were both acting and the speech team. She excelled at both and received many awards.

Julie attended the University of Nebraska in Lincoln and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work in 1993. Julie married Gene Ross on June 3, 1994. They knew each other their whole lives and were in the same class from pre-school until graduation. They lived briefly in West Point, where she worked for Goldenrod Hills in Wisner focused on their Head Start program, before moving to Fremont in 1995. She went back to school and received a Master of Social Work degree in 1996 from the University of Nebraska-Omaha.

Julie worked for Options Counseling and then soon went into private practice. She loved the Social Work profession and accumulated a vast library of resources as she strived to be a more effective mental health counselor and enjoyed learning new therapy techniques. She especially enjoyed working with young children. Julie put her career on hold to be a full-time mom for several years but had recently opened her practice up again.

Julie dedicated her life to serving others. Anyone who met her knew she was a loving and compassionate woman. She had a judgement-free mind that accepted everyone. She truly saw the best in every person and loved helping others. She touched the hearts of many people through her actions and kind words. She loved being a mom and focused much time towards her two boys and supported them in any way she could. Julie enjoyed cooking, party/vacation planning, entertaining and always had several craft and home remodel projects going at once.

Julie developed a great love of her Lord and the Catholic Church from her mother. Julie was a member of St. Boniface Catholic Church in Callaway and St. Patrick Catholic Church of Fremont.

She was preceded in death by her father Junior Willis and father-in-law, Gary Ross.

Survivors include her loving husband of 26 years, Gene; two sons, Jacob of Fremont and Jackson who is attending Kansas State University in Manhattan, KS; her mother Nancy Willis of Callaway; brother Jeff Willis of Callaway; mother-in-law, Vivian Ross of Callaway; brothers-in-law, Vaughn (Stephanie) Ross of Callaway and Rodney (Mary) Ross of Callaway; 4 nephews and 4 nieces.

Her children rise up and praise her: her husband, too, extols her:

“Many are the women of proven worth, but you have excelled them all.”

Charm is deceptive and beauty fleeting; the woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

Give her a reward of her labors, and let her works bring her praise at the city gates.

Mass Of Christian Burial will take place on Monday, November 23, 2020 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Boniface Catholic Church in Callaway with Father Thomas Gudipalli and Father James Heithoff, con-celebrants. The Mass will be live-streamed via the Reynolds-Love Funeral Facebook page.

Donna Jeanne Jesch of Stratton, Nebraska, passed away at the Country House in Kearney, Nebraska on November 17, 2020.

Donna wrote her autobiography and we will put a few quotes from that in this obituary. “First of all I was born.&nbsp; That happened in July of 1926.&nbsp; The 18th&nbsp;to be exact.&nbsp; Now isn’t that interesting?&nbsp; OK, so that’s no big deal.&nbsp; How about this!&nbsp; I was born on Daddy’s 33rd&nbsp;birthday.&nbsp; I don’t remember much about that because I was pretty young at that time.”

Donna was born to Clarence and Ora (Miles) Richards on a farm northeast of Stratton.&nbsp; She was the 3rd&nbsp;of 7 sisters.&nbsp; They moved to Stratton at a young age, where they built a new house in 1931. This two-bedroom house was home to a family of 9.&nbsp;

“Yes we were raised during the great depression and I suppose we were poor, but I didn’t know that at the time.&nbsp; Our bathtub was a portable one.&nbsp; It was brought out and placed on the kitchen floor after supper.&nbsp; We girls probably washed in the same water! &nbsp;We were clean enough.”

Donna attended Stratton High School where she graduated in 1943.&nbsp; Bud Jesch and Donna were cast opposite each other in the junior class play.&nbsp; That’s when the spark was lit.&nbsp; Donna and Bud were in the same class and graduated together.

&nbsp;Donna worked at the Farmers Grocery Store during high school and then traveled to Denver after high school where she worked as a secretary for Blue Cross and Blue Shield Insurance Company.&nbsp; She also worked for the Hitchcock County Attorney in Trenton for ten years after she was married.

Donna enjoyed gardening and baking.&nbsp; She was famous for her pumpkin bars and crescent rolls which she made for every holiday gathering.&nbsp; That tradition is carried on by her grandchildren.&nbsp; She also researched family genealogy and was instrumental in the research and production of the Hitchcock County History Book 1873-1989.&nbsp; Donna was the secretary and treasurer of the Fanshaw Bay Naval Reunions.

Bud and Donna traveled to many cities for the Fanshaw Bay Reunions from the mid 80 until 2019. Donna was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church.&nbsp; She was also involved in the St Joseph’s Alter Society, the ladies V.F.W. Auxiliary, the church choir, and other choir productions in Stratton. She sang acapella with her sisters and was always singing around the house to classical music. She had a beautiful voice.

Donna was preceded in death by her parents Clarence and Ora Richards and her father and mother- in -law, August and Eleanor Jesch, husbands-Eugene “Bud”- &nbsp;2 grandsons-Travis Jesch and Patrick Valdez, 3 sisters and their husbands, Shirley and Neal Hudson, Vivian and Richard Pierce, Wilva and Gene Harchelroad and 2 brothers-in-law Bill Carroll and Keith Birks.

Donna Jeanne Jesch  (1926-2020)

James M. Timmons, age 67, of Lebanon, Nebraska, passed away November 16, 2020 at his home in Lebanon after a battle with esophageal cancer.  He was born on September 14, 1953 to Glen and Doris (Glenn) Timmons in Imperial, Nebraska.  The family moved to Colorado when Jim was young where he attended school in the Arvada area and graduated from Arvada West High School.

Jim met Laurie in 1993 and the two would spend the rest of his life together.  They were married at the Jefferson County Courthouse in Golden, Colorado.  Jim, Laurie, and daughter, Nicole made their home in Arvada where he worked hard to support his family.  Jim’s father taught him to camp, hunt, and fish which Jim was passing on to Nicole and grandson Jaxon.  Teaching Jaxon became his greatest pleasure.  Jim looked forward to the yearly hunting trip to share the fellowship of his friends and enjoy the outdoors.  He also took a lot of pleasure in being an Arvada Reservoir ranger like his father was.  He was always quick to volunteer his help for his game warden friend, Mike.  On one occasion they saved an eagle that was hit by a car.

Jim’s father also passed on his love of baseball.  Jim loved to watch, play, and for a couple of years Jim coached a softball team.  Jim was proud of that team and referred to them as "his girls". 

Jim enjoyed motorcycles, riding with the annual MDA Run to Sturgis for five years.  He and Laurie retired to Lebanon in 2016 where they started restoring a house built around 1880.  Jim was a strong man of few words and deep feelings. He liked people, loved his family deeply, and respected the people he called friends.  His strong feelings of love extended to animals.

Survivors include his wife, Laurie of Lebanon; daughter, Nicole Fox and grandson, Jaxon Fox of North Glenn, Colorado; sister, Kathy Berkowitz of Denver, Colorado; sister, Alice (Roger) Cain of Loveland, Colorado; brother-in-law, Mike Murray of Lebanon; and sisters-in-law, Jill (Kip) Funk of Arvada, Colorado and Jana Kelly of Federal Heights, Colorado
