Donna Lee Marchand
May 5th, 1946 – April 7th, 2020
Donna spent most of her life residing in Lincoln, Nebraska where she raised her family. She was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend to many. She had a strong will to nurture and was very accepting of others. She opened her heart and her home to anyone who needed it, and welcomed them as family. Some of her favorite things to do included camping, gardening, watching Husker football and Nascar racing, as well as celebrating the holidays and birthdays with those she loved. In her free time she enjoyed crafting, sewing, and crocheting.
Donna was determined, and very hard working. She enjoyed collecting keepsakes that represented her native american heritage, of which she was very proud. She was a woman of many hobbies, but more than anything she loved spending time with her family and making memories. She especially cherished her five great-grandchildren. They were her pride and joy!
She is survived by her sons Thomas Marchand (Tonya Pierce) and Timmy Marchand (Kelly Porter) both of Lincoln; her daughter Tammy Marchand of Lincoln; grandchildren Amber Marchand (Manuel Morales), Ashley Marchand, TaLissa Payne (Jeremy ‘Doc’ Maher), Anissa Payne, Aaron Marchand, Brittany Marchand (Chris King), Alexas Marchand and Khia Payne all of Lincoln; great grandchildren Hayden Marchand, HayLee Murdock, KayLeigh King, Braxton King, and Jaxon Maher all of Lincoln; sisters Alice Jones of Lincoln, Wanda Olsen of Colorado, Gale Roberts of Sargent, Trudy Buchanan of Lincoln, and Judy Voight of Wymore.
Preceded in death by parents Norman and Edyth (Scott) Truax; sons Gerry and Terry Marchand; brother Norman (Butch) Truax; sisters Lavonne Hrdlicka and Janet Krafka.

Scott Hobson Colborn
Scott H. Colborn, 68, passed away on Monday, March 30th, 2020. He is survived by his children, Melissa and Asher Colborn, his brother, Craig Colborn, nephew Jon Colborn, and many, many friends. A celebration of life will be scheduled at a later date. Scott was born in Lincoln on November 11th, 1951 to Robert and Gentry (Hobson) Colborn. Scott was a people person, it didn’t matter whether you were acquainted or not. He could be very goofy – he loved to have fun. He got that from his mother. Scott’s signature outfit (worn daily) was a Hawaiian shirt, khaki shorts, socks, and Birkenstock’s. You’d never find him in anything else. Scott didn’t have a mean bone in his body; he was always looking for the positive in any situation. Scott loved music – he started playing guitar as a young teenager in various bands and ended up teaching it full time to anyone who wanted to learn or hone their guitar skills. When he wasn’t playing guitar, Scott loved to sit down with a good book and a hot cup of coffee. He was a big reader and was always making trips to the local library to pick out new true crime/mystery novels to read (a habit that was passed on to his children). Scott was also a very inquisitive person; he loved exploring unexplained phenomena and hosted a radio program by that name on KZUM for 40 years. He was the face of The Ghosts of Lincoln Bus Tours that he and his daughter Melissa facilitated each fall and was always excited when someone told him their ghost story. During the 70’s and 80’s, Scott was a successful real estate broker and would often joke that he was “broker” than most. He was constantly cracking corny jokes to make people smile. Scott re-discovered his spiritual side many years ago and began learning under various spiritual teachers. He and his then wife, Kathryn (Kate) Colborn, opened a new-age music and book store called The Way Home, which opened the door to many lasting friendships. Years after the store was closed, he began attending his home church, Westminster Presbyterian, once more and eventually became a Deacon there; church and fellowship were very important to him. However, nothing in his life was more important to him than his children. He would do anything for them. God bless you, Scott. Service in the future. For condolences, please fill out the form below.
