Dolores M. Gade, 93, of Lincoln, NE, entered into rest on Thursday, March 14, 2024 at Tabitha Nursing and Rehab Center in Lincoln, NE. She was born March 9, 1931 in Ashland, NE to Charles and Leda (Flieschman) Gade. Dolores graduated from Ashland High School in 1949. She received a bachelor’s and master’s degree from the University of Nebraska and she received her PhD from Kansas State University. Dolores was a professor at University of Wyoming for 26 years. She also owned and operated Leda’s Attic in Ashland for several years.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Leda Gade; sister, Mary “Tillie” Lewis.
She is survived by many extended family members and friends.
Delores was a very fine lady. I enrolled in her class in Vocational Education, which she taught in the Education College – University of Wyoming, in about 1970. She was a great teacher.
Imagine my surprise, when I moved to Ashland to teach Vocational Agriculture in 1982, to find out she was an Ashland native and a graduate of the High School. I saw her class photo on the wall in the old school building.
Years later when she moved back to Ashland I happened to meet her on the sidewalk downtown and recognized her. I often stopped in to see her at her downtown shop before I moved away.
I’m sorry to hear of her loss. Rest in Peace, Delores.
Rest in peace Aunt Dee! You and grandma can now be together!
A cousin to my dad Gerald Cochran, Dolores was a generation removed from me. But I heard from my dad what a fine and educated woman she was! I’m proud to be of the same Flieschman family tree. Rest in Peace and give all the family members who are already in Heaven my greetings; especially our grandparents Fred and Sarah and your mom Leda and her sister, my beloved grandma Rachelle!
