Obituary in funeral leaflet

Inez Laura Bazata was born August 22, 1919, near Howells, Nebraska to Paul and Augusta (Broekemeir) Renner. She attended District School #75 and St. John’s Lutheran School in Howells. On August 19, 1941, she married Lumir Bazata in Howells. They lived and farmed near Howells until moving to Schuyler in 1979. When Lumir died in 1995, Inez continued to enjoy living in the home that she loved, until recently when her health failed.

Inez was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, the Ladies’ Aid where she had served as Secretary and was a member of the CHI Memorial Hospital Auxiliary where she volunteered in the gift shop. She had made over a hundred quilts for Lutheran World Relief plus all the quilts she made with live, for her family members. Inez loved cooking, baking, canning and sewing. She enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and was always happy to have friends stop by for coffee and one of her homemade treats.

Inez is survived by her children: Larry and Suzi Bazata of Omaha, Janet and Doug Spale of Columbus, Connie and Bob Pernicek of Schuyler and Michael and Deb Bazata of Olathe, Kansas. Also surviving are 13 grandchildren, 33 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

"Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life"--Revelation 2:10

Miss Me, But Let Me Go

When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom-filled room! Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little--but not too long, And not with your head bowed low! Remember the love that we once shared; Miss me--but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take And each must go alone; It's all part of the Master's plan A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick of heart Go to the friends we know, And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds; Miss me--but let me go.
