Darwyn G. Ehlers

3/13/1945 - 7/2/2015

Darwyn was born March 13, 1945. He grew up on farms outside of Gretna, attended small country schools, then went on to graduate from Gretna High. He played football, was on the track team, and met his future wife, Lorraine Snell. They were married on September 13, 1963. Their marriage was blessed with three children: Kevin , Karen and Michael. They recently celebrated their 50

^th

anniversary.

Darwyn was a farmer. He loved the kind of life farming provided for his wife and children. In 1980, he and Lorraine built a new home on their farm west of Springfield. They lived there until retirement, then moved to a home in Gretna. Even though Dementia made life hard, his greatest joys in life came from his family. He enjoyed visiting with Karen and her husband Ted; talking farming with Mike and his wife Kristie; and most of all, watching the antics of his grandchildren Brett, Gage, and Brooke. Just the mention of their names brought a smile to his face.

He passed away peacefully at home on July 2, 2015. He will always be remembered for his sense of humor, love of farming, and love for his family.
