Daphne Fry, “Daf” was born in Inglewood, California to Norm and Iris Fry. But her bossy two year old big Sissy, Gina, declared herself to be the one really in charge of this spunky little human who people would go on to be called Chatty Cathy. Her daring ways would get her into more than a few scrapes – some minor and some less so. (Doesn’t everyone wonder what happens if you kick start a motorcycle with your arm instead of your foot?) As a missionary kid in South America her vivacious personality won her friends in every culture she encountered.

After high school Daf trained as a nurse at Rio Hondo College in Whittier, California, graduating in 1981 with her Associates Degree. She worked as an L.P.N. for 35 years in California and Nebraska. Areas of practice included Emergency Room, private doctor’s office, home health care, HMO nurse management, university student health, and community health.

Daphne contracted viral meningitis at age 7. This would emerge at age 21 as a highly significant health event, and be thought the underlying cause of a severe and lifelong headache and neurological syndrome. From the time her headaches began she was never again pain free. Two brain surgeries would remove some pressure from scarred brain ventricles. Many teams of doctors would try to help. Her life journey would see much terrain of suffering. But Daphne proved a faithful Christ Follower, always claiming God to be good, and life to be beautiful.

Until her health challenges no longer permitted it, she loved working with the youth in her church who adored her for her zany humor.

She had many, many friends. Her best pals were her first ones – Mom and Dad.

Daphne was the funny and generous “Affie Daf” to her precious nephew and niece, Elliott and Laurelin Sterns. She was her sister Gina’s biggest cheerleader. She loved and respected her brother in law and colleague, Dr. David Sterns. When Dan Nesbitt joined the family by marrying Laurelin in 2010, Daf welcomed him as another dear nephew. These last two years Daf’s struggles increased dramatically. But nothing could ever diminish her enthusiasm for a visit from her little Rose Evageline, born 10/23/14. Being present for Rose’s birth and watching her learn to crawl, walk, and speak filled her heart with joy unspeakable these last two years, even as her body was wearing out.

Absent from the body, present with the Lord.

“Choose Joy!”

Michael’s birthday was June 2, 1953. It was a date that his parent, Shirley Dulin Corbino highly celebrated. He departed this life, Thursday, August 18^th at Immanuel Hospital after a brief illness.

Being the adventurer he was, he decided to move to New York to be with his mother. For 10 plus years, he worked for the railroad system in many various positions. One such position was in the Station Master’s office. While there, he did something that had not been done in history…..he stopped a train from departing from New York and made it wait for his aunt and her family who were running late catching the train to come to Omaha.

After several years, he returned to the “Big O” and it was during this time that he was united in marriage to the former Pearl Mosely. Being a man on the move, he then transitioned to Lincoln, NE. While living there, he worked as a supervisor for several years for Marsden Cleaning Corporation.

After returning to Omaha from Lincoln, and as life moved on, Michael’s health began to fail and although he was unable to continue to do much of his everyday life, he maintained his gentlemanly manners, his huge sense of humor for he never met a stranger and that quick wit we have all been stung by. Yes, “Corbino” or “Magoo” as he was also affectionately called, will be missed by his wife, mom, children, special friend Venita Simpson and all who have had the opportunity to have known him.

Michael was preceded in death by son: Troy “Scoobie” Pittman and father: Mel Corbino. He is survived by wife: Pearl Mosley Corbino, Mother, Shirley Corbino; 5 daughters: Tracey Corbino (Damion Bush), Kelly Pittman (Brian Rekeiza) all of Omaha, Tobie Corbino of Atlanta, GA, Essence De’Chabert of New York, NY, O’Donna Biggs of Omaha; and 5 grandchildren: Hayden Singleton of Atlanta, GA, Preston Woodall, Kelsey Pettis, Ryleigh Bush and Troy Bush all of Omaha; half-brother: Mario Corbino of Las Vegas, NV; aunt Bernice West of Omaha; and bunches of cousins and friends.

7/5/1923 – 8/20/2016

Ruth Greer, 93, died Saturday, August 20, 2016 at Ridgewood Retirement Community in Bennington.

Ruth Virtue Cooper was born July 5, 1923 in Dunbar, Pennsylvania to Cora Mae Cooper (Hall) and George Dewey Coooper. Her father was a coal miner and her mother was a supervisor at the telephone company, a part-time wallpaper hanger and was active in local politics. Ruth remembered having a happy childhood and parents who gave her love and support. She graduated in 1941 from Dunbar Township High School. Ruth met her future husband, Jim, at a Fireman’s Fair where he offered her a ride in his red Ford convertible. She agreed on the condition that he would let her drive. He only learned after the harrowing ride that Ruth didn’t have a driver’s license. On September 10, 1944, Ruth married James Walter Greer in Baltimore, Maryland, while he was serving in the Merchant Marines during World War II. Their first son, James Jr. was born while Jim was still overseas. After the war Ruth and Jim settled in Baltimore, where Ruth worked as a switchboard operator for the telephone company while raising three sons. Ruth was a nurturing mother who guided her boys to grow up with love, confidence and respect for others. The family’s annual ritual was spending vacations at the Maryland or Delaware beaches. Ruth loved the ocean and was often the first one in the water and the last one out. Jim’s promotion with Travelers Insurance brought the Greer family to Omaha, Nebraska in 1968. Ruth ran the switchboard and PA system at the new JC Penney store at the Westroads. As the couple approached retirement, Jim started researching several Sunbelt states where they could spend their golden years. However, the birth of their first granddaughter in Omaha threw an anchor into those plans. Ruth told Jim that if he was moving out of Omaha, he had to go without her. She wasn’t leaving her granddaughter. Ruth and Jim spent their retirement years in Omaha continuing to dote on the grandchildren, traveling, and playing tennis, golf and bridge. Ruth’s favorite activity was sharing love and laughter with family and friends. During her last years, as Ruth’s health deteriorated she prayed that she would live long enough to see her youngest granddaughter, Anna, get married and her granddaughter Elizabeth, have her first baby. Her prayers were answered.

Survivors include her three sons James Jr. (Karen) of Milwaukee, Randall (Beverly) of Omaha, Leslie of Lincoln; grandchildren Justin Cooper Greer, James Walter Greer III, Belinda (Buffy) Greer Zussman, Elizabeth Smeal Greer, Anna Dewey (Greer) Nance; 8 great grandchildren; sister in law Mary Yenney (Tom) and niece Donna Marie Caddell of Maryland.

Ruth was preceded in death by parents George and Cora Mae Cooper, Brother James Cooper, brother in law Orville Greer and niece Amy Flickenger.

Bev was preceded in death by maternal grandparents Clarence and Nora Bopp, paternal grandparents Jacob and Caroline Mruz, parents Edward and Loretta Mruz, stepfather Alvin Riskowski, and father-in-law Godfrey “Red” Chladek. She is survived by her loving husband Richard Chladek, son Brian Chladek, granddaughter Grace Chladek, brothers-in-law Gary Chladek (Mary Ann) and Jim Chladek (Karen) brothers Tom Mruz (Bernadette), Jim Mruz (Sharla), Larry Mruz (Joyce), Dan Mruz (Linda) and Mike Mruz (Vicki), her sisters Barbara Holder, Pat Norcik (Xan), and Laura Simonds (Derek), stepbrother Alvin “Mike” Riskowski (Linda), and many nieces and nephews.

Bev attended St. Francis of Assisi grade school in South Omaha and graduated from Archbishop Ryan Memorial High School in 1968. Some of Bev’s fondest memories from her childhood and teen years were spending time on the farm every summer with Grandpa and Grandma Bopp, family outings to Zweibel’s on the Platte River, go-go dancing with Barb and Pat and cousin Mary Jane with the Lenny Rich polka band, and hanging out at Leisure Lanes after school. She married Rich on August 26, 1972 and spent the next 44 years with the man she loved and continues to love from Heaven above. Her working years were spent at Wells Fargo Bank and Boys Town. She and Rich raised a wonderful son in Brian who is an exceptional father to Grace. Besides her family, especially Grace whom she loved as only a grandmother could (they baked lots of chocolate chip cookies together), Bev loved the Chicago Cubs and Bev and Rich spent many vacations in Chicago with sister Pat going to Cubbie games. She was still watching as many Cub games on TV as possible up to her last days. Those Cubbies might have a chance this year with Bev rooting for them from Heaven!

God works in mysterious ways. Bev was able to attend the wedding reception of her niece Melissa on July 9 and visited with lots of family she hadn’t seen in years. She became ill with a respiratory infection the next day and, due to her COPD, was unable to recover. Bev peacefully passed away the afternoon of August 2^nd at Midlands Hospital with her husband Rich, son Brian and sister Barb at her side. She was ready to join her mom and dad in Heaven (her words) and we have come to realize that we all live to die so that we can be with Our Lord Jesus Christ at the end of our earthly lives. She is there! Bev will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved her. Those we love and lose are together with us forever in our hearts and in our memories. May Bev rest in peace.
