Watching her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren grow up and participate in activities was a top priority for her and her husband, as well as keeping up with the young people in Alliance.  She was strong in her faith, loved playing bridge, reading the Bible and books, spending time with family and friends, her churches and church families.  She was a HUGE Husker football and volleyball fan and loved the Denver Broncos.  She is survived by her daughter Susan Messersmith of Omaha; son Allen (Christie) Hall of Lincoln, grandson Dustin (Caylee) Messersmith of Omaha, granddaughter Dani (Drew) Schmaltz of Scottsbluff, grandkids Dylan (Valyn) and Ciarra Dale of Lincoln, great-grandchildren Jax and Joss Messersmith of Omaha, Brytinn, Harper, and Tatum Schmaltz of Scottsbluff, and many wonderful nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, all of whom she loved dearly.  She was preceded in death by her parents, sister Gwen Christofferson, four sister-in-laws, and five brother-in-laws.  She will always be remembered as “feisty” (say it like it is) but also very kind, caring, giving, “the worrier,” and a great lady.  She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.  Cremation has taken place, and the burial will be Friday, January 6, 2023, at 11:00 am at the Nebraska Veterans Cemetery in Alliance, NE, with lunch to follow at the Alliance Country Club.  A memorial service will be held at a later date at St. Augustine of Canterbury Episcopal Church in Elkhorn, NE.  Memorials may be sent to St. Augustine Church and Nebraska Children’s Home.  Fond memories and condolences may be left at www.reichmuthfuneralhomes.com.
