In Care of the Family For Future Designation
Janet M. Prochaska, 55 of Wahoo, NE, entered into eternal rest on Tuesday, January 20, 2015 at Bryan West Medical Center in Lincoln, NE. She was born December 5, 1959 in Osmond, NE. Janet graduated from Madison High School in 1978 and then went on to receive her Bachelor’s Degree from UNL. Later she received her Master’s Degree from UNL. Janet was working for HSS at UNL as the Dining Hall Manager for over 20 years. In the past, she worked for Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Norfolk, NE and Bryan East Medical Center in Lincoln as a dietitian.
She was a member of St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church. Janet enjoyed taking walks, shopping for bargains, and spoiling the kids in her family. She loved traveling, cooking, baking her famous Christmas cookies, and she loved her dog, Coco. Spending time with her grandkids always made her happy.
She is survived by children, Brent Prochaska of Wahoo, Kyle (Kelly Clark) Prochaska of Omaha, and Amy (Eric) Pospisil of Wahoo; grandchildren, Trey Miller, Shay Pospisil, Cambree Pospisil; parents, August and Marianne Weiss; siblings, Julie (Mark) Sunderman of Humphrey, NE, Sue (Craig) Wehrle of Papillion, NE, Mike (Connie) Weiss of Wahoo, Barb (Mike) Choutka of Oakton, VA, Karen (Rod) Gunn of Singapore, Mark (Lynn) Weiss of Centennial, CO; 16 nieces and nephews; 4 great nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her brother, John “Buck” Weiss.
Rev. Charles Townsend will be the celebrant.
Please accept our love and prayers for all of you. Janet was a good friend and although we didn’t see each other often, we still kept in touch. I had just sent her a small photo book of some good memories that I thought would make her smile.
May God’s peace be upon each of you.
with our love, Allen and Teresa Lyday and family

It sad hear of Janet’s passing. I will miss her smile and kind words! I only knew her for a short while; however I enjoyed our conversations about Darryl. I thank you for being so kind to me. I will miss you! May God take you home into his loving hands and remove all your pain. Hope to see you one day again in Heaven. May you have peace in knowing that her death date is her new birth date in God’s presence.
I will always love you L.P.

I want to express my dearest sympathies at Janet’s passing. We were good friends in gradeschool when she attended Lindsay Holy Family school. I remember playing at her house and the fun we had. I ran into her some years ago and she still had that lovely smile. She will be greatly missed.
While I am thankful for the impact that such a wonderful woman has made, I’m am very sorry to hear of her passing.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace, as you trust in him, that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Our deepest sympathies to the entire Weiss family. Gods blessings to all of you
We are so saddened to hear of your loss of Janet. Surely she is in the arms of Angels. Sweet Blessing to all. Jim and Kim Pfeifer
My sympathies to the family. Janet deeply cared for those with whom she worked and particularly for those who worked for her. She will be greatly missed.
The words are difficult to find to describe the impact that Janet has made on me as a friend and colleague for 20 years. Kindness, compassion, generosity, and so much more. Janet will be truly missed at Harper Dining at UNL. To Brent, Kyle and Amy and the rest of the family, accept my deepest sympathy.
Deepest Sympathies to Janet’s family. She was a great person with a beautiful smile. She was always so caring for the people that worked with her. We had some great times working together at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Norfolk, NE.
To.Janet’s family, I was so very sorry to hear of my dear sweet friend passing away. Janet was my bridesmaid in our wedding. I worked with her at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Norfolk, Nebr. Janet and I were so close and shared so many family stories. I always told her she was my big sister. Janet was always there for me. I am in tears and am sorry for your loss. Heaven has a beautiful Angel there now. I will miss you and love ya lots.

Janet and I met in college and 30+ years later I can say that she truly enjoyed life! Not a conversation was had without her sharing her love for Amy, Brent, Kyle, grand kids, her family, and Darryl. So much laughter and memories….I feel overwhelmingly blessed to have her as my friend.
My prayer is that God will provide you with strength, guidance, and comfort.
My sincere condolences to all of Janet’s family. She will be greatly missed. I worked closely with Janet when I worked at HSS and always appreciated her dedication, honesty and compassion. I would like to share this Native American Prayer that has given me comfort in the past:
“NATIVE AMERICAN PRAYER”
I give you this one thought to keep –
I am with you still – I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the sweet uplifting rush,
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone –
I am with you still in each new dawn.
Sincere Sympathies to Janet’s family. Didn’t get back to Lincoln area often, but always seemed like I was bumping into Janet when we did get back there. We would share some laughs and talk about life in general. Even though I could tell she had been in a hurry, when we would see each other, she would take the time to talk and laugh. Our prayers are with all of you and my God grant you the comfort, strength, and guidance needed.

Our sympathy to all of Janet’s family. Praying for God’s peace for all of you.
I knew Janet from mentoring her in dietetics at the Lincoln VA Medical Center. I ran into her sparingly over the years. This much I know. She loved her family. Thinking of her on the evening before she is buried. Rest easy, dear friend….
