Nettie Mae (Kaiser) Schneider
Nettie Mae (Kaiser) Schneider, age 74, of Ogallala, lost another
courageous battle with cancer on Thursday morning, August 25, 2011at
her home. She was born November 28, 1936 to George Wayne and Emma
Marie (Gilchrist) Kaiser at Imperial, Nebraska. Nettie had an older
sister, Jane Garska and a younger sister, Nellie Ogg, both of
Ogallala.
Nettie grew up out on the prairie southwest of Champion, NE. She
went to a one-room schoolhouse, with three pupils, namely her and
her sisters. She loved riding horses, and loved country music;
playing her guitar and composing songs. Nettie says, “If you are in
the pasture when the breezes blow, you may still hear my voice.”
Upon graduating high school in 1954 from the Chase County High
School she moved to Ogallala and worked for Goodall Electronics and
TRW. In 1974, Nettie and her family moved to Ripon, CA. There she
took up nursing as a Certified Nursing Assistant, working for
Bethany Convalescent Home and the Doctor’s Hospital. A serious back
injury ended her career. In 1992, Nettie moved to Nebraska where she
was employed at ASC and loved her job.
Nettie had a host of friends; she never knew a stranger. Her home
reflects her personality – her love of horses, Country Western music
and the bible. She studied with Victory Bible College and attended
the Four Square Church. Nettie overcame a battle with cancer ten
years ago and chose the Bible verse Isaiah 40:31 as her personal
scripture. She never complained and always said “today is another
good day.”
Nettie leaves a host of friends along with her four children, Rhonda
Franken of Wray, CO; Jimmie Schneider of Antioch, TN; Nancy Tyler of
Ogallala; and Kenneth and wife Suzie Schneider of Corpus Christi,
TX. She had seven grandchildren, BJ Franken, Berk and Roxanne Tyler,
Jessica Schmidt, Trevor and Dylan Schneider and Christine Conboy.
Nettie also leaves three great grandchildren, Uriah and Stephan
Schmidt and Charlotte Conboy. Two sisters, Jane Garska and Nellie
Ogg of Ogallala; and three nieces she really enjoyed, Debbie Redden
of Grant,NE, Janet Emery of Berthod, CO and Cheryl Statler of
Lemoyne, NE and a favorite cousin, Dale Wayne Fisher of Marysville,
KS. She was preceded in death by her parents; brother in laws,
Robert Ogg and Howard Garska.
Cremation was chosen. At Nettie’s request there are no memorial
services scheduled. Gubser Funeral Home was in charge of
arrangements.
