PRIVATE FAMILY BURIAL: in the Afternoon

Memorials may be directed to the family for Janelle.

The evening Lisa was born, she was our only child to come out screaming, and little Craig (3.5) was terrified as he held her. (Don’t be too sad for Craig, he more than got even during the following years). This should have definitely given us a clue about her personality; determination, stubbornness, opinionated, yet caring, loving, optimistic, forgiving, not as fearless as she often projected, kind, and Lisa was so cute with her blue glasses in elementary school. She grew up until middle school in West Omaha participating in soccer and dance. We had the perfect neighborhood for kids, as they were everywhere. After her Dad and Mom divorced, Lisa moved to Yutan, NE just west of Omaha. She participated in volleyball, junior achievement and cheerleading. She attended hairstyling school after high school, but found it difficult to be around the chemicals in combination with the overall ability to make money, so she left the field. She worked at Menards in Omaha and Hannibal, MO, then moved back to Omaha and bartended for a while, but then moved into the insurance field, which she dearly loved. She was a single mom, and Janelle was by far the number one priority in her life. She really took care of that little girl and they definitely lived and loved life together. Janelle was the reason Lisa fought like a lion to stay alive as long as possible, and was the biggest heartbreak for Lisa passing onto heaven, that she wouldn’t be able to interact with her growing up. In 2015 she met Paolo, in October of 2016 Lisa was first diagnosed with cancer, and had surgery in November. Lisa was pronounced cancer free in March 2016 after radiation and chemo. In July, Lisa started having pain in her pelvis and was finally diagnosed with metastasized cervical cancer in October 2017. Paolo and Lisa were married in December 2017. Their marriage was anything but normal, with Lisa traveling to Mexico for immunotherapy treatment, and then to Santa Barbara for followup treatment. As her cancer worsened, someone had to be with Lisa all the time, which made things more difficult.

The most important part of her life was her Christian faith. At 8 years old she knelt next to an amour in her bedroom, and asked Jesus to come into her heart. She lived life and gradually lost her zeal for her faith. Fortunately, the God we serve is always faithful, as he was constantly pursuing her heart. She went to church off and on after high school graduation, but could hardly walk into a church without weeping. Around 2014, she started attending church more frequently, and after Pampa (Grandpa Don) passed in May of 2015, she really started attending and rededicated her life to the Lord. She stated at one point, “I didn’t realize how lost I was.” As her cancer worsened there were numerous attempts by satan to convince her that because she wasn’t healed, God didn’t really love her. For all of you who were praying for Lisa, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, as those attempts were stopped, and the pain drove her to a deeper relationship with Jesus. Just last week, she said all she wanted to do was hug God. She is now in heaven, and for that we give thanks to Jesus, as He provided a way for us to have relationship with our Father again, by dying on the cross. So, we praise Jesus, the name that is above every name, for saving and rescuing our Lisa!!!

Omaha-Born May 2, 1948 to Donald S. and Marcella M. (Shueneman) Glasgow, Myra “Jo” Bates passed away peacefully August 17, 2018 surrounded by her children. Her battle with cancer is over.

Jo enjoyed traveling, learning, reading, volunteering, and playing the clarinet, and, most importantly her family and friends.

Throughout her life she traveled extensively across the United States, every time taking the roads less traveled the scenic routes, and soaking up the local cultures and traditions. Jo made her way to Europe several times visiting Spain, Norway, Italy, France, Greece, Scotland, and England. Through her work, she got to visit China four times. With each trip she made a point to learn and experience something new.

Jo devoted her working life to education. After earning a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Northern Illinois University and an MBA from the University of New Mexico she taught business courses at Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas and at Bellevue University in Bellevue, Nebraska. By holding positions at these universities, she had and took the opportunity to continue educating herself. From her colleagues she learned all aspects of the business world, and from her students she learned of foreign cultures and practices.

For the past several years, Jo has volunteered her time and skills with AARP tax preparation and at her local polling stations during elections. Serving her community with these organizations brought her much joy.

At an early age, Jo learned to play the clarinet. She played in the marching bands of Benson High School and Hastings College. Recently she discovered and immediately joined the Prairie Rose Ensemble which allowed her to again play clarinet. With Prairie Rose she was able to perform concerts all around the Omaha area while building friendships that meant the world to her.

The most important part of Jo’s life was her family and friends. Never meeting a stranger, she is survived by children Melissa (Jimmy) DeHollander, R. Alexander (Tina) Bates, and Edward L. (Genie) Bates; mother Marcella M. Glasgow; brothers Gordon Glasgow and David (Roberta) Glasgow; grandchildren A. Scott Biegler, Alexandria C. Bates, Nathaniel R. Bates, and Hailey C. Bates; nieces Kellye Glasgow, Traci Baker, and Jessica Glasgow; nephew Daniel Glasgow; Moonlight her cat; and a host of friends.

A celebration of life, or, in her words, a going away party, will be held at 2:00 pm Saturday, August 25, 2018 at Roeder Mortuary, 2727 N 108th Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68164, 402-496-9000.
