Linette Lindsay
Glenn, Sr. and Verna Lindsay were blessed with a beautiful daughter, Linette Lindsay on December 19, 1976 in Papillion, Nebraska. Linette attended Lothrop Elementary, Morton Middle School, Burke High School and graduated from Father Flanagan High School in 1995. She continued her education and received her license for a Certified Nursing Assistant.
Linette was a smart, hard-working, loving, sweet and caring woman. She worked various jobs; telemarketing at First Data and she was a caregiver. Her CNA license reflected her big heart for others and their well-being. She also worked in the cafeteria at North High School. She always looked forward to seeing and talking to the students and if they didn’t have lunch money, Linette would go out of her way and pay for their lunch.
Linette’s most fulfilled job was being an exceptional mother to her two girls. She was an amazing mom and enjoyed bonding time with her children, cooking, reading good novels, shopping, birthdays, holidays ( especially Christmas), good music, dancing, singing and visiting with family and friends. She loved when it was time to travel to visit with family from out of town for gatherings. She loved telling her jokes, talking on the phone, going out to eat and taking pictures that you didn’t know she was taking. We called her “Paparazzi”.
Linette would often let it be known to everyone that she was very proud of her daughters, Daizhana and Breonna. She truly loved her family and extended family members. Linette got lots of enjoyment out of doing nice things and helping others. She knew everyone in the family birthdays and would acknowledge all the family members on their birthdays. She even knew when it was our friend’s birthdays and would acknowledge them also.
She is the youngest sibling and sometimes would act like she was their sibling’s mother and their parent’s mother. The father would say “My God; child, you act like you’re my mother” and her response would be, “Because you don’t listen”. Linette was a phenomenal mother, sister, aunt, niece, cousin and friend.
Linette Lindsay was preceded in death by her loving parents; Glenn James Lindsay, Sr. and Verna Louise Lindsay, her grandparents; James and Marie Lindsay and Fred and Altha Swan and her brother-in-law; Houston McKell III.
Linette’s spirit will be cherished through her loving survivors, daughters; Daizhana Lindsay and Breonna Lindsay-McQueen, siblings; Leo Newson, Jr., Leona Newson, Lenora Brass (Bobby), Tiwana Robinson (George) and Glenn Lindsay, Jr., nephews and nieces; Terrell Knight, Tasha Fraser (Joseph), Lester Lewis III, Lamar Newson, Keonna Lindsay, BreNae McKell, Collin Lindsay, Llyia McKell, Keyaira McKell, Houston McKell IV, great nephews; Edwin Cintron III, Jail McKell and Tylan Walker, extended family; Grady McQueen, Betty Scott, Malia McQueen, Aliaunna and Antoine Moten, special sisters; Elizabeth Fudge-Tazanu and Anita Thomas.

Tommie L. Teahon
7/6/1941 ~ 11/6/2021
Tommie “Tom” L. Teahon, charming, smooth talking, hard headed cowboy who was tough as nails, passed away peacefully at Hillcrest Firethorn in Lincoln Nebraska Saturday November 6th 2021 at the age of 80.
Tommie was born at home in Anselmo, Nebraska to the late Charles Teahon and Clara (Franssen) Teahon in July of 1941. Tommie weighed 12 pounds and was 24 inches long at birth. He always said he was so big he just crawled out and often referred to himself as 2 foot Tommie.
Tommie had a long wonderful life full of so many stories and every time he told one it would gain more and more “details” that may have been a tad exaggerated for effect.
He spent his youth growing up in Arnold, Nebraska playing football, rodeoing and raising a little hell along the way. He eventually moved to California where he was a ranch hand and then found himself in the tv/movie industry, he appeared as an extra usually playing a cowboy but sometimes a banker or train engineer amongst other things.
Tommie was in the films Dalton Gang Rides Again, Shadow Riders and Belle Starr. He was also on the tv shows Little House on the Prairie, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Father Murphy and the remake of East of Eden.
Tommie decided he had had enough of the movie star life and moved back to Nebraska to be near family then to Oklahoma for several years, however, his heart was in Nebraska so that is where he eventually settled.
Tommie is preceded in death by his Brothers Donald “Sammy” Teahon, Leland Teahon, Gerald “Jerry ” Teahon and Sister Louis Cumpston (Teahon)
Tommie is survived by his daughters Denise (James) Peter, Delinda Beckstrom, Melissa Teahon, Tami (Rob) Alexander, Amanda (Nick) Snyder. Siblings William “Bill” Teahon, Evelyn Gracey, Millie Brewer, Marlene “Molly” Barent, Connie Britton and Jimmy Teahon, 12 Grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
We will be having a ‘Celebration of Tom’s Life’ gathering on May 7th, 2022 from 2-5 pm at Grazers in Arnold, Nebraska. For those who would like to stick around and watch one of Tommie’s favorite things, The Kentucky Derby, at 6pm, please do so. Food and Drink will be available for purchase.
In lieu of Flowers please make donations to Tami Alexander 292 Walleye Dr. Russellville AR. 72802 or via Paypal @tamilynn27 to cover funeral expenses.

Jacqualine Ruth Jones
Jacqualine Ruth Jones was born April 25, 1956 in Tyler, Texas to Jessie Earl Jones and Baby Ruth (Curtis) Jones. Although she lost her mother at a very young age, she was raised surrounded by love from her father, bonus mother and generations of grandparents and great grandparents. Jackie enjoyed her childhood and was known by many names: Slama-Lama, “JackieJones” and everyone’s favorite, Jack-a-roof (Jack a ruth). She constantly recalled these memories fondly, especially with her favorite “playmates” Shirley, Brady, Virginia, Nedra, Debra Kay, Annie, Sadie and of course the infamous Ms. Katherine.
Jackie developed her lifetime of faith and dedicated to God at Hopewell #1 Baptist Church in Swan, Texas at an early age. She attended Carver Elementary and Boulter Junior High.

She joined Salem Baptist Church shortly after moving to Omaha where she raised her two children Chianti (Kisha) and Skyler and remained an active member until her death. She was an officer of the Douglas County Correctional Center for 13 years until her retirement a few years ago. She was known amongst her family and friends to have an open door. If you needed help or just a place to stay temporarily, Jackie’s was the place you came to and felt safe. She was an outstanding cook and a fabulous mom, but her pride and joy were her three grands-Elijah Jared, Danavia Adele-Marie and Sophie Joy.
Jackie was greeted in Heaven by her mother; Baby Ruth Curtis-Jones, father; Jessie Earl Jones, grandparents; JD Jones, Sr. and Claudia D. Jones, Lewis Curtis and Ollie Mae Caldwell, brother; Gary Green, niece and many other family members and friends.
