Fremont, NE Thursday, December 5, 2024 We are so sorry for your loss. Alberta was our neighbor down the street for about 50 years. Our boys delivered her World Herald. Carla enjoyed sitting in her swing in the garage and visiting and playing with her granddaughter. She kept a good eye out for the traffic and the students coming and going at Clarmar School. She was always very pleasant to visit with. We miss her very much here on East 19th.Charlotte Croshaw
Fremont, NE Wednesday, December 4, 2024 Dear Family, I worked the front desk at the YMCA for many years. Your mother always stopped and talked with me. We laughed, told stories and spoke of the "good times" in our days of old. She really enjoyed her class and the coffee hour that came after. I am a better person for having known her. My deepest sympathy. "Petey".David Jolene Meyer
