Barb wrote her own obituary... Barbara Rae Nunns was born Aug 16, 1949, in Superior, NE and passed away November 1, 2023 at Heritage Crossings in Geneva following a short battle with cancer. When I was young the family was living on a farm where the Lovewell Damn is now. Around the age of 9 the family moved to Burwell; dad owned a filling station. From there we moved to Big Springs, NE. In Big Springs the family lived on a farm just North of town. We had milk cows and horses. Dollie the horse was trained to pull a 2-wheel cart, the problem was every time Dollie passed gas she pooped in the cart. You always had to wear your boots! Remember when Ron stuck his tongue on a propane tank one winter. We had no indoor plumbing, around the age of 11 or 12 the family moved to Hastings where dad worked at the ammunition depot. We then moved to Norway, Kansas just North of Concordia. This is where Mom and Dad got divorced. Mom moved to Geneva with Barb, Ralph, Ron and Jim. Chuck stayed with Dad in Kansas. Barb graduated from Geneva High in 1967, and from there she graduated from Lincoln School of Commerce for Business 2 years later. She married Dale Nunns on October 12, 1968 at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church. Dale farmed and trucked, and Barb worked at the Hilltop Café, Holroyd Bakery and Golden Rod, while painting all the time. Gary was born September 17, 1969, Doug was born December 17, 1973 and died at birth. Nicole was born March 1, 1975. She continued to work at the motel and painted for the remainder of her life. She enjoyed camping, golfing and a beer once in a while with friends. A lot of construction and safety meetings took place at the gazebo. She loved her Schnauzers and Volkswagen Bug. She is survived by her husband Dale, son, Gary with wife Brooke of Shelton; daughter, Nicole with husband Brian of Geneva; 5 grandchildren, Jesse, Ryan, Tren, Kali and Cole along with 2 great grandchildren, Kaaya and Kiira; brothers, Ralph and June Graham of Geneva, Ron and Mitzi Graham of Lincoln, Jim and Sherry Graham of Lincoln; sisters and brothers-in-law, Carol and Lavern Vejraska of Milligan, Fay and Will George of Seattle, Washington and many nephews, nieces, family and friends.
