Joyce A. Kucera, 82, of Lincoln, NE, entered into rest on Wednesday, August 14, 2019 at South Haven Living Center in Wahoo, NE. She was born October 16, 1936 in Wahoo, NE to Gordon and Sylvia (Siemsen) Nelson. Joyce graduated from Wahoo High School. On October 15, 1955, she was united in marriage to Donald L. Kucera at First Presbyterian Church in Wahoo, NE. Joyce worked for many years at the ASC office in Lincoln, NE.
Joyce was a member of First Presbyterian Church in Wahoo, Woman of the Moose Lodge #175 in Lincoln, BN Campers Club “The Kazoos” and BN Clown Club. She always put family first and she kept very detailed records of her family. Joyce also enjoyed crocheting for her family.
Through the good times and the bad, Joyce often said, “if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing.”
She is survived by sister, Fern Jansa; nieces and nephews, Randy (Eva Egr) Jansa, Jon and Lori Williams, Bill Jr. and Sharon Semrad, Russell and Rhonda Andresen and Bradley Semrad; many other family members and friends.
She was preceded in death by husband, Donald L. “Kootch” Kucera; parents, Gordon and Sylvia Nelson; sister, Linda L. Semrad; brothers-in-law, Donald L. Jansa and Bill Semrad Sr.
Sincere condolences to the entire family and
friends of Joyce Kucera.
Joyce was a wonderful friend.
God Bless you all, and may he welcome Joyce
into her Heavenly Home.
We were Joyce and Don’s neighbors for a few years in Lincoln. We moved next door to them when our oldest son was just 2 years old. Our second son was born shortly after and Joyce was always a bright spot in our family’s daily lives. She evidently held a special place in our oldest son’s heart because he named his dog Joyce!!

My sincere condolences to Joyce’s family. I worked with Joyce at the ASC office in 1991 and remember her as such a sweet lady.

Wishing sincere condolences to Joyce’s family, from the Nilson family. We have lived up the road on Sherwood from her for about 35 years now. She was a bright spot in the neighborhood and will be missed.
