7/31/1944 – 10/22/2016

Rodney was born in Fullerton, Ne. He attended several different schools during his school years. He graduated from Herman High and always had a special place in his heart for the class of “62”

He worked for Braniff Airlines for many years and then went to work for Dultmeier Sales in Omaha, where he eventually retired. He worked in shipping. No one could wrap and label a package faster or neater than he could.

He was an avid fisherman for most of his life. He was a real expert with rods, reels, and lures. This was something he really enjoyed, but mostly it was catch and release. One of his favorite things was going on Minnesota fishing trips with his son Brad and his father in law Roger.

After he retired he was a good friend to the Nebraska Humane Society. He helped out there when he could and took care of many foster cats. His love for animals was very apparent from the many cats, squirrels, birds, etc. that he fed every day.

A Celebration of Rodney’s Life will be 5:00 – 7:00 PM Thursday (10/27/2016) at Roeder Mortuary 2727 N. 108th St Omaha, Nebraska

4/24/1943 – 9/29/2016

Passionate is the word that best describes Jackie’s life…

Jacqueline Amelia Hill was born April 24, 1943, in Omaha, NE. She was preceded in death by both of her parents Mr. Carlatte Lewis and Mrs. Ellamae Katherine Jones.  She received her education in the Omaha Public School system and was a graduate of Tech High School.  Jackie was divorced and never remarried.

It was her passion to care for the health of other which lead to her obtain her RN from Methodist College in 1971 and later a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing through the University of Nebraska College of Nursing in 1981.  Her profession led her to work for Omaha Public Schools from 1992 to 2003. Still feeling the need to do more, she returned to school and received her Master’s of Science in Nursing.

It was her passion that led her to her son Bryon Randolph Daniel, whom she nurtured, disciplined, and encouraged to become the dedicated son, husband, father and child advocate that he is.

In Jackie’s career she witnessed the health care disparities in the black community and sought to make some changes.  When diagnosed with breast cancer she again noticed the lack of support and resources for black women.  This spurred up her passion to do something about it and along with Mrs. Gwen Watson she co-founded My Sister’s Keeper, an organization designed to bring support and awareness for breast cancer in minority communities. But she did not stop there. She travelled across the country fighting for this cause, which earned her presidential recognition from form President’s Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. However, still see disparities and the needs of the community she organized health fairs where she pulled together other healthcare professionals to volunteer to provide screenings throughout the community. Still not feeling enough was being done she also formed support groups for diabetes, heart disease, and fitness and weight management.

As a breast cancer survivor and because of her battle she quietly wondered if she would become a grandmother.  One of her greatest joys was when she found out her daughter-in-law Brandi was expecting.  She nurtured, pampered, and fussed over Brandi throughout the pregnancies. This led to the next passion, her grandchildren Braelynn and Britton. A more than typical grandmother she showered them with love, affection, and compassion. She loved sharing their antics while struggling to keep a straight face.

Jackie leaves to cherish her memory: her son Bryon Randolph Daniel Hill, daughter in law Brandi Michaela (Mitchell) Hill, two grandchildren Braelynn Maryella and Britton Alvin Randale; two brothers Rodger Lewis (Mary) of Omaha, NE and Daniel Ware (Melody)  of Evans, GA, a sister Andra Harrison (Earl) of Houston, TX; lifetime friend General Randolph Scott; a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins; her faithful dog Jordie; and many, many friends in the Omaha community, the health community, and the nation; and her most loving passion My Sister’s Keeper.

3/20/1938 – 10/2/2016

James “Jim” Laurence Springer, 78, peacefully went home to our Lord Sunday, October 2, 2016 at The Josie Harper Residence Hospice House in Omaha following a battle with cancer.  He leaves behind his wife of 25 years, Carol Springer of Omaha, Nebraska; daughter, Kristi Springer of Plano, Texas; and son, Greg Springer of Riverton, Iowa.  He also leaves three step-children.

Jim was born March 20, 1938 in Hamburg, Iowa and grew up in and around the area until he turned 18 and moved to Omaha, Nebraska.  After he moved to Omaha, Jim went to refrigeration school before becoming a steamfitter.  Jim enjoyed traveling on family vacations to Minnesota and Colorado when his children, Kristi, Greg, and Lori, were young.  He loved being outdoors and fishing all while making life-long memories with his children.  Jim took a job with Sol Lewis as journeyman steamfitter, and he worked on and ran many building jobs throughout Omaha.  Jim celebrated 46 years of service as a steamfitter before retiring.  After retiring from steamfitting, Jim took up other passions of his and started woodworking and remodeling houses. In retirement he also returned to his farming roots. Jim had a passion for family, friends, and farming.  He was always willing to lend a helping hand or a listening ear to anyone who needed it.  He looked forward to every spring when he could plant and nurture his crops, and he took pride in having some of the best and earliest sweet corn and tomatoes in the area.

Jim was an incredible and loving grandfather who shared close relationships with his seven grandchildren including Sara Dean of Dallas, Texas; Christian Lindahl of Houston, Texas; Matthew Lindahl of Phoenix, Arizona; Jessica Cannon of Omaha, Nebraska; Peder Lindahl of Plano, Texas; Daniel Springer of Omaha, Nebraska; and Jacob Lindahl of Dallas, Texas.  Jim also leaves behind six step-grandchildren.  Grandpa Springer was an endless source of wisdom and entertainment.

Jim was adored and will be terribly missed by his six great grandchildren, Jackson Dean of Dallas, Texas; Cyrus Springer of Omaha, Nebraska; Campbell Dean of Dallas, Texas; Holden Dean of Dallas, Texas; Maks Lindahl of Phoenix, Arizona; and Wyatt Lindahl of Phoenix, Arizona.  Visits with Great Grandpa Springer included eating as much farm fresh Springer produce as possible, learning how to shoot a BB gun, riding on the farm tractors, and attending surprise soda pop parties in the corn fields.

Jim is preceded in death by his mother, Edna Fern Carl; father, Bernard Springer; brother, Richard Springer; and daughter, Lori Engelke.

Private family services will be held.
