Doris Jean Falck

Doris Jean (Chase) Falck was born to Clarence E. and Fern E. (Brewer) Chase on October 25, 1938, in Friend, NE. She was the youngest of twelve children. She died on February 9, 2026, at Cedarwood Assisted Living in Fairbury, Nebraska at the age of 87. Doris enjoyed growing up on a farm near Friend, Nebraska, and attended elementary school at Prairie Hill School in Saline County. As a teenager, she attended Friend High School, where she had many friends and enjoyed participating in drama, band, and cheerleading. On November 14, 1956, she married Neil Falck of Beaver Crossing, Nebraska. They had four children: Kenny, Kris, Shelly, and Lisa. Some of the greatest joys they shared as a family were loading up the kids every weekend to go to horse shows and showing at the county fair every summer. Doris and Neil lived in Beaver Crossing, Nebraska as newlyweds then moved to Oklahoma and Colorado until finally making their permanent home in Nebraska. After living in Alexandria, Nebraska for several years, in 1983, they moved to Western Nebraska. While living there, she worked at Jefferson Community Health Center as the head evening cook and retired in 2003 after 20 years. After retiring, Doris enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandkids and great grandkids. She loved watching their softball games and coming to their school activities and always loved seeing them when they came for a visit. She especially enjoyed going to the library and finding another great book to read, and she read many! In March of 2019, Doris moved to Cedarwood Assisted Living in Fairbury, Nebraska. She grew to enjoy living there and loved participating in activities, especially bag toss, where she won

trophy of the month. She took a lot of walks, stopping along the way to visit with staff and residents. She also liked sitting outside in the garden, enjoying all the plants and flowers. She is preceded in death by her parents, husband Neil, sisters LuEtta Wagner, Leone Henke, Retha Chase, and Carol Osborne, brothers Cecil, Wayne, Leslie, Herbert, Delbert, and Loren Chase.
