Jane Anne (Timothy) Wenz, 84, went home to her Lord and Savior, and a reunion with her beloved "Willy", on April 3, 2017. Jane was born on April 4, 1932 in Falls City, NE to Raymond Earl "Red" and Ora (Hailey) "Shari" Timothy. She had one brother, Gerald Timothy. She attended Sacred Heart School in Falls City, where she studied Latin and acquired the skills to become a lifelong writer of beautiful prose in perfect penmanship. She graduated in 1950 and married William F. Wenz on October 11, 1950 at Sts. Peter and Paul Church in Falls City. Bill and Jane lived in Omaha and an acreage in Union while raising 8 children together before finally settling in Crete, NE. in 1974. Her adult life was shaped by a longing for closeness to her Creator, her love for her God and an unwavering devotion to her husband and family. One of the founding members of Crete Berean Church, Jane also owned and operated The House of Praise, a Christian bookstore in Crete, from 1985-1990. In later years, she became a naturalist, without labeling herself as such, devoting hours to the feeding of birds, the prolific planting of trees, and the cultivation of any and every flower that could survive the prairie winds on her hilltop home. Being an excellent cook and presenting mountains of elaborately wrapped Christmas and birthday gifts to children and adults were traits she was also known for. Jane also spent endless hours in intercessory prayer for family, friends and strangers. She lent a sympathetic ear to many, in and out of her family circle, and shared wisdom earned through decades of personal triumphs, trials and tragedies. While known for being compassionate, loving and giving, those who knew her well also understood that you did not want to be the recipient of Jane Anne "getting her Irish up". Although she kept her gazed fixed on God, she devoted her earthly life to her family. While being clear-eyed about the faults and frailties of each, she remained always fiercely loyal to all of her progeny. Jane was preceded in death by her parents, her husband William, in December of 2014, a son, Timothy Paul Wenz and daughter-in-law, Shannon Wenz. She is survived by her brother Jerry Timothy and wife Carol, children and spouses Kathleen Wenz and Curt McKean of Omaha, William "Bill" Wenz of Dorchester, James and Mary Wenz of Roca, Laura and Gary Gammel of Crete, Douglas and Deborah Wenz of Crete, Jeffrey and Tammy Wenz of Crete, Shari and Richard Tretheway of Lincoln, 15 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren, 5 nieces and nephews. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, April 6th, 10:30 AM at Crete Berean Church. Visitation is on Wednesday, 5 – 8 PM at Kuncl Funeral Home in Crete.
