Carrol J. Niemeyer was born June 5, 1924, to John and Carrie (Nienaber) Niemeyer near the St. Bernard, Nebraska area. He grew up helping his father on the family farm. In 1948, Carrol was united in marriage to Madeline Pitzl. To this union fourteen children were born.
Carrol farmed and worked at Becton Dickinson to care for his family. He enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren. He always had a smile on his face and a memory to share about his adventures. He enjoyed travelling with Madeline to visit the children throughout the United States.
Carrol was truly a farmer, always fixing something. All he needed was a pair of pliers, baling wire, and twine string. Carrol was always proud of his garden after moving from the farm into town in Lindsay, Nebraska. He still always planted enough to share with family and friends. Carrol was a faithful member of Holy Family Catholic Church.
The family would like to thank Genoa Long Term Care and St. Croix Hospice for their kindness and compassionate care when we needed them.
Carrol is survived by sons & daughters-in-law, Larry & Donna Niemeyer, Bernie & Linda Niemeyer, Charlie & Sandy Niemeyer, Alan & Lori Niemeyer, Randy & Shannon Niemeyer, John & Sherri Niemeyer, Patrick & Ferol Niemeyer, Brian Niemeyer; daughters & sons-in-laws, Kathie & Tim Preister, Carolyn & John Stankiewicz, Jane & Dave Watts, Mary Gansemer, Sandy & Mark Petrone; 27 grandchildren; 30 great grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild.
Carrol was preceded in death by parents, John & Carrie Niemeyer; wife, Madeline Niemeyer; son, Edwin Niemeyer, and son-in-law, Brian Gansemer.
