Janice Mae Pospichal
On January 10, 2020, Janice Pospichal, loving wife of 68 years and mother of 2 children, passed away at the age of 87. Janice was born in Crete, Nebraska to Bertha (Dedic) and Edward Belka. On December 27, 1951 she married Joseph Pospichal and raised two children, Linda and Todd on the farm northwest of Crete. Janice was known for her friendship, caring and compassion. No one was a stranger and homemade food was always the gift to share with neighbors and friends. She loved raising her family on the farm that her grandfather Fred Dedic had owned. She was Joe’s “right-hand-man”, handling fowl, swine, cattle, cats & dogs. She drove every farm vehicle imaginable, whether the brakes worked or not. Whether it was Saturday night card games, after hauling bales or for the winter coyote run, she loved cooking for the “gang”. She worked in the early 1950’s at Lincoln’s Russell Stover factory, and the Nebraska State Capital, and after the kids were older, as an Executive Assistant at Alschwede Ford and Farmland Foods in Crete and at UNL. As a mother she handled 2 ornery children with love. In later years her nimble fingers crafted beautiful creations with fabric. Janice was preceded in death by her parents, infant son Michael and grandson Eric Pospichal. She is survived by her husband Joseph, her children Linda (Dennis) Biggerstaff, and Todd (Janice) Pospichal and her brother Tom (Judy) Belka, and sister Eunice (Norman) Musil, 4 grandsons, 3 step-grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren and 6 step-great-grandchildren. Heartfelt thanks to Deanna, Janae and staff at Lakeview Living for their professional and compassionate care. Thanks also to the CHI Hospice team, and Jolee at Bridge to Better Living.

Clarence August Patzloff
Clarence was unfortunately taken to soon on 07/10/19 in a head on collision at age 57. He was driving the vehicle with his mother Janice, whom also was taken. While details are still unknown, it is with great sadness the family not only lost one but two staples of greatness. Clarence was born September 15th, 1961 to Janice and Clem in Lincoln, Ne. Clarence moved around some as a child but eventually planted his roots in Lincoln where he raised his daughter Jamie and granddaughter Chloe. He recently had moved to Milligan to help his mom Jan take care of the property she owned. In the recent months he was so excited with the progress of the house and his rat rod project. Clarence spent his days making someone’s trash his treasure. He was able to see the potential of all things around him. He admired the beauty in the world and always found the time to enjoy the small things. He spent a lot of his free time with his Princess, Chloe. Their bond was unbreakable. Clarence believed anything that made him happy was worth enduring, even if only for a minute. He lived in the moment and never took his time with the ones he loved for granted. The unfortunate loss of a remarkable man has impacted the lives of many. It was very unlikely you’d see him without a happy go lucky smile on his face. He’d light up a room just by entering it. Clarence is survived by his daughter Jamie Patzloff, grand daughter Chloe and significant other Kim Turek. Siblings Connie Lewis(Scott); Jim Wilson, Bob Wilson and Ed Silva. The family asks that you join them for a fundraiser on Saturday August 3rd, 2019 at Pub bar behind Burger King on 48th and Holdrege from 1-4pm. There will also be a Celebration of Life on August 4th, 2019 in the Auld Pavilion at Antelope Park in Lincoln starting at 10am. Breakfast will be served.
