Born November 6, 1945 to Arthur and Irene (Bohling) Meyer in Humboldt, Nebraska. Dee was baptized and confirmed into the Lutheran tradition. Her confirmation verse is: John 14: 6 “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” She went to rural school in Nemaha County for grade school and graduated from Johnson High School, Class of 1963.
Delores married Kenneth (Ken) Neeman on October 16, 1965. Two daughters, Denise and Amy, were born to this union.
When the girls were young, Delores stayed at home and worked on the family acreage near Sterling. She loved her two lilac bushes, large vegetable garden, and flowers! Later, she worked for Ameritas Insurance Company and retired in 2015.
Her hobbies included gardening, tending to her flowers and baking for the family. Everyone who knew Dee raved about her delicious cinnamon rolls, snow-on-the-mountain cookies and monster cookies. She and Ken would also love to watch as birds, of all varieties, would come and eat from their bird feeder. In their nearly 55 years of marriage, they enjoyed vacationing across the state of Nebraska, fishing at Mozingo, and taking trips together to Branson, Missouri.
Dee had a heart of gold — always eager to offer help to family, friends, and neighbors. She would share her amazing baked goods and love with everyone!
Survived by two daughters: Denise (Corey) Hummel and Amy Neeman; grandchildren: Jacy (Matt) Wilke, Jake (Paige) Crawford, Colin (Hannah) Hummel, Amanda, Laura, Emily, and Caleb Hummel. Six great-grandchildren include: Crew & Hayes Crawford; Bennett, Owen, & Baily Hummel and Clara Wilke.
Also survived by her six siblings: Lois (Bob) Palik, Ronald (Susan) Meyer, Leroy (Jane) Meyer, Willis (Glenice) Meyer, Carol (Bob) Hemmingsen, and Glen (Betty) Meyer, many nieces, nephews, and friends.
Preceded in death by her loving husband, Ken and her parents Arthur and Irene Meyer.
