Alberta Anne "Bert" Nieland

February 27, 1932 - October 23, 2025

Bert especially loved her life on the farm where she and Dennis lived for years. She also truly loved her family and many friends that came into her life. She enjoyed telling stories of growing up and of living on the farm. She lived a good life, a long life... a full life.

She is survived by daughter, Anne Lollis and husband Michael; grandchildren, Hannah Lollis and Jayden Lollis; granddaughter, Heidi Gojkovich and husband Scott; great-granddaughters, Hailey Gojkovich and Riley Gojkovich; granddaughter, Heather Miller and great-grandchildren, Lucy Roth, Hudson Roth and Vivian Miller. Bert is also survived by her first cousins, Marilyn Langsley of St. Paul, Minnesota and Alan Smith of Owatonna, Minnesota.

The family would like to extend a huge thank you to all of Alberta's caregivers and hospice care providers that allowed her to remain content and comfortable in her home, where she wanted to live her remaining days.
