Ileene Mader Obituary

Ileene Marie Mader, 73, of Kimball, Nebraska, passed away on July 26, 2025. She was born on July 6, 1952, in North Platte, Nebraska, to Everett and Violet Hankins.

Ileene was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Floyd Hankins. She is survived by her siblings Karen (Chuck) Brewer, Donna (Tom) Glidden, Helen (Rainey) Pullman, Joyce (Dave) Kautz and her sister in law Rita Hankins; her sons Casey (Rachel) Mader and Ben (Robyn) Mader; her grandchildren Kaitlyn (Kelby) Mader, Cheyenne (Beau) Broadway, Casey Shaw, Wyatt Mader, Jada Mader, Colton Mader, Ally Colwell, Owen Rincker, Ben, and Case Garvin; and her great-grandchildren Tripp and Atlas Broadway and Mayzie True. She is also remembered with love by her many nieces and nephews.

Family was at the heart of everything Ileene did. She cherished every moment spent with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and her greatest joy came from being surrounded by those she loved most.

A graveside service will be held at North Platte Cemetery on September 20, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., with an informal reception to follow at Memorial Park.

Ileene's kindness, warmth, and love for her family will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew her.
