Cecil Nelle Larsen, 94

Cecil Nelle Larsen, 94, of Fort Calhoun, died Wednesday, May 1, 2013, at Angel's Touch Assisted Living in Omaha.

Services will be 10 a.m. Monday, May 6, at Abiding Faith Baptist Church in Fort Calhoun. Interment will be in the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Omaha.

Cecil Nelle Cox was born on June 27, 1918, at Fort Calhoun, to Bruce Robert and Verda Chloe Beckley Cox.

She attended elementary and middle school in Fort Calhoun and graduated from Fort Calhoun High School. Following graduation, she went to Burroughs Business School in Omaha. She worked for an insurance company until she married Richard Larsen on April 20, 1942.

She and her husband experienced Air Force military life for 20 years with dozens of moves. The last 10 years they were stationed in Bellevue.

Upon Mr. Larsen's retirement from the Air Force, they built a home and lived in Fort Calhoun. During their time in Fort Calhoun, Mrs. Larsen worked for Wilkinson Manufacturing.

She was a member of Abiding Faith Baptist Church and Eastern Star.

She spent countless hours in the garden, and canned the produce and tended flowers of all kinds. She also enjoyed sewing and lovingly made clothes for her grandchildren.

The Larsens were able to celebrate many milestones together including 70 years of marriage and their 94th birthdays.

She is survived by her sons and daughters-in-law, Terry and Bonnie Larsen of College Station, Texas, and Bruce and Peggy Larsen of Elkhorn; four grandchildren: Sarah, Ryan and wife Brenda, Abby and Sally. She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard; brother, Bill; and sister, Irene.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to Abiding Faith Baptist Church in Fort Calhoun, Cedars Home for Children in Lincoln, Open Door Mission of Omaha or a charity of the donor's choice.

Campbell-Aman Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
