Jobeth Irene Troxel, 34, a beloved member of the community of Callaway, Nebraska, passed away on Saturday, September 9, 2023, at the Callaway District Hospital in Callaway.
She was born on April 26, 1989, in Aurora, Nebraska to Sidney and Jennifer (Zwiener) Troxel. She graduated from Callaway High School with the class of 2007. She went on to receive her bachelor’s degree in science at the National American University in Rapid City. During her time there, she worked for a wild horse sanctuary near Hot Springs for a few years before moving on to work at a ranch near Taylor. She couldn't stay away from her roots for long, so she moved back to Callaway, shortly after.
Jobeth had a great love for the outdoors. She loved tending to animals, especially horses, and working outside in her gardens, tending to her chocolate cherry tomatoes to have as a special treat later. She especially loved taking care of her beloved cat, Shay. Jobeth always went above and beyond to help her neighbors. Whether it was mowing lawns, cleaning, or tackling those stubborn weeds, she never hesitated to lend a helping hand. Her selflessness knew no bounds, and her acts of kindness left a mark on those fortunate enough to have crossed paths with her. Those who knew Jobeth knew that Halloween was a big deal. She always made sure to adorn her home with the best Halloween decorations for the whole town to see. Jobeth’s vivacious spirit emanated from her very being. Her warmth and genuine love for others endeared her to everyone she encountered. She possessed a kind and gentle nature that made people feel valued and heard, creating lasting friendships wherever she went. Those left to honor her memory are her mother, Jennifer Troxel of Callaway; grandmother, Mary Zwiener, half-brother, Jason Troxel of Texas; uncles, Dan (Joyce) Zwiener of Norfolk, Scott (Kim) Zwiener of Valparaiso, Nebraska, great-aunts, Grace Schimintz, and Janet Zwiener, and special friend Jeremy Horton of Edgemont South Dakota, as well as numerous extended family and friends.
She was preceded in death by her father, Sidney Troxel, uncles, John Zwiener, Robert Zwiener and Harold Zwiener; cousin, Julian Zwiener; grandfather, Joseph Zwiener, great-grandmother, Magdalene Zwiener and great-aunt Elizabeth Zwiener.
There will be no visitation as the family is honoring Jobeth's wish for cremation.
A Celebration of Life service will be held on Saturday, October 14, 2023 at 10:30 a.m. at the Callaway Community Center with Pastor Dean Haidle and Joyce Kolbo, P.M.A., officiating.
Memorials are kindly suggested to the family for later designation.
