Zelma A McCann
December 6, 1926 - December 29, 2014
Zelma Anne McCann, age 88, of Fremont,
died Monday (Dec. 29th, 2014) in Nye Legacy, Fremont
Zelma was born on December 6, 1926 in Blair, Nebraska to Menno and Jane (Wise) Larsen. She was the first born of 5 children and the only daughter. She spent most of her younger years in the Blair area, and graduated from Blair High School.
After high school, she moved to Omaha and took a job with the Independent Bakery. There she met Bill (Wilburn L. McCann) and on October 1, 1945 they were married. The couple spent their young married life in Omaha and to this union was born their daughter Sandy and their son Billy. Early in 1951, they moved to Seattle, Washington for a brief time, then returned to make their home in Fremont. Her husband was a 34 year employee of Hormel's who also did home building /carpentry work. During her 60 plus years here, she made many friends and worked as a bookkeeper for various retail stores and an automobile dealership. She made many friends at TOPS, and volunteered with the hospital auxiliary in the hospital gift shop.
She enjoyed spending time with family and friends. She was great at cooking big meals for the whole group, no matter if it was in the comfort of her home or at the cabin near the Elkhorn River. If you spent a few minutes or a life time with Zelma you could be sure of two things first was a big loving smile and last but not least was you could be sure you would both be laughing.
Zelma leaves behind her daughter Sandra and husband Alan Kumm of Fremont, son Bill (Wilburn D.) and his wife Connie McCann, 6 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. Zelma now joins her husband who died in August of 2005, her parents, four brothers, an infant son, infant grandson, and many close friends.
There will be a memorial service 2 PM Friday (January 2nd) at the Ludvigsen Mortuary Chapel with the Rev. Dr. David Coe. Memorials are suggested to the Salvation Army.
