Duane Dean Dorman
Duane Dean Dorman was born to Lawrence J. and Helen (Altman) Dorman on July 2, 1931 in Wilber, NE. He passed to his heavenly home at age 91 years and 7 months surrounded by his family on February 3, 2023. Duane’s family moved to Lincoln in 1946 and he graduated in1949 from Lincoln High School, where he’d enlisted in the Naval Reserves and proudly served until being honorably discharged in 1961. On November 26, 1953, Duane married Carole Ann Wanek in Wilber, Nebraska, and they happily shared 69 years together. The couple lived in Illinois and Indiana before returning to Lincoln, where Duane worked at the Lincoln Telephone & Telegraph Co. for 23 years before retiring early from a customer service position in 1988. Besides being a proud Eagle Scout, Duane was a member of New Visions (Southminster) United Methodist Church and the Masonic Lodge for over 50 years, and was also a member of the Scottish Rite. Duane was a man of integrity, kind, generous, gruff, devoted, very much a romantic, and loved a good laugh. In his lifetime, he donated over 16 gallons of blood to the Lincoln Community Blood Bank, volunteered at the Nebraska State Historical Society, never missed an opportunity to support his children and their families in their various activities and endeavors, and he never forgot to deliver red roses to Carole on their anniversary and Valentine’s Day. He enjoyed traveling with family and discovered the world while inhabiting tents, RVs, and hotels. Duane was also an introvert who enjoyed collecting coins, feeding the ducks that visited his office door, and loved hibernating in his office while spending many, many hours researching his and Carole’s family’s genealogy. They were both thrilled and overcome with emotion when they were able to locate Carole’s ancestral home while touring the Czech Republic. Duane is survived by his loving wife, Carole, of Lincoln, NE; daughter, Jeny (Jim) Albin of Norfolk, NE; son, Kendall (JT Roy) of Washington, DC; granddaughter, Elizabeth (Ian) Wollmann of Omaha, NE; grandson, Christian (Carla) Morton of Elkhorn, NE; great-grandchildren Rhys & Sam Wollmann and Caiden & Cora Morton; sisters Barb (Butch) Hopkins and Karen (John) Ware, all of Lincoln, NE; step-grandsons Addison (Megan) Albin of Parkville, MO, and Jaxson Albin and his daughter, Charlie, of Lincoln, NE, and; many beloved nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Take time to work… It’s the price of success; Take time to think… It’s the source of power; Take time to play… It’s the secret of perpetual youth; Take time to be friendly… It’s the road to happiness; Take time to love and be loved… It’s the privilege of God; Take time to share… Life is too short to be selfish; Take time to laugh… Laughter is the music of the soul.

Among other things, Terry enjoyed live music, dancing and comedy. At one such event in 1995 she met Steve Davis. They were united in marriage on July 12th, 1997 and she welcomed his two children into the fold and loved them as her own.
