Elizabeth Frederick

November 19, 1934 — August 17, 2024

Imperial

 On Saturday morning August 17, 2024, during Betty’s last days of her stay in the Perkins County Hospital, Elizabeth Joyce (Fhuere) Frederick, age 89 a resident of Imperial, NE, took up her citizenship in heaven and is now seated in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 1:3). 

 Betty was born November 19, 1934 in North Platte, NE to Louis S. and Thelma R. (Wells) Fhuere. Betty was the second child and only daughter in her family of five children. Betty lived her childhood in North Platte and then on November 25,1951 Betty was united in marriage to John A. Frederick of North Platte. The newlyweds made their first home in North Platte. While living there God gave them three daughters: Rogene Katherine, Frances (Fran) Elizabeth, and Jacqueline Patricia. The family then moved to Papillion, NE. where God gave them a son, Stewart Paul Nelson and later a foster daughter Heidi Jo.

 Betty was a beloved wife, mother and homemaker, active in raising her children. Betty was a master working with needle and thread. Betty made the majority of the families clothing and taught her daughter to be thread artists also. Betty enjoyed sewing, knitting, crochet, various types of embroidery and quilting.

 Bey realized because she was a sinner she was separated from God and her good deeds could not please God enough to out weigh her sin dept. The earnings of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Betty also learned that Jesus the Perfect Lamb of God shed His blood on the cross in payment for and the forgiveness of her sin. Betty put her trust in this truth of forgiveness. One of Betty’s favorite Bible verses is John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 

 One of Betty’s favorite activities was being a part of the ministry of The Gideons International. For 48 years Betty was a member of the Auxiliary. Betty was a prayer warrior and zealous about distributing scriptures and telling people how they too could know the forgiveness she received from God.

 In January of 1975, Jack and Betty moved to Grant NE where Jack and Betty purchased a motel and trailer park, then the Dairy Queen in Ogallala, NE, raised ostriches and eventually retired in Imperial, NE. Betty was a caring, loving, praying, and giving Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother. Her family has been greatly blessed by her influence and love.

 Preceding her in death are her parents, Louis and Thelma; father and mother in-law, John and Margaret Frederick; brothers: Alison and wife, Ann; Orville and wife Verlaine; David, and brothers and sisters in-law: Lawrence Frederick and wife, Ernita; Douglas Frederick; James Frederick and wife, Helen; Ruth Luree Swedberg and husband, Melvin; Jack Stone.
