Obituary

Connie Nyland

January 14, 1947 - November 5, 2024

Connie Nyland, age 77, passed away on November 5, 2024, in Lincoln, NE. She was born on January 14, 1947 to Orville and Inez Docter and was united in marriage to Paul Nyland on May 26, 1967.   She was a lifelong resident of Adams, Nebraska, and graduated from Adams High School in 1965.

Connie dedicated many years to various roles, including working at State Farm Insurance, serving as a dedicated homemaker, and providing private housekeeping services for families in Lincoln for over two decades. Her personal interests included baking, cooking, gardening, antique collecting, and storytelling. She was a steadfast supporter at her children’s and grandchildren’s events. Her favorite places to be were helping Paul and Arend on the farm, or cheering her grandchildren on in the bleachers at their games.

Connie’s faith played a significant role in her life. She was baptized and made her Profession of Faith at Firth Reformed Church, and was a devoted member of Pella Reformed Church. She was a living example of deep faith, as she loved God and her family unconditionally and was a friend to everyone she met.

Connie is survived by her husband, Paul Nyland of Adams; daughters, Dayna (Scott) Anderson of Filley, Allison (Glen) Snodgrass of York; son, Arend (Megan) Nyland of Adams; grandchildren, Kellen Anderson, Garrett Snodgrass and girlfriend, Kate Mullally, Dalton Snodgrass, and Eleanor and Lucas Nyland; sisters, Janet Burris of Texas, Mick McBride of Lincoln; sister-in-law, Joan (James) Engelkemier of Louisville; and many cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Orval and Inez Docter, and uncle, Gene Wubbels.

Services will be held on Monday, November 11, 2024, at 10:30 a.m. at Pella Reformed Church in Adams, NE, with burial to follow at Pella Cemetery.

Visitation will be Sunday, November 10, 2024 from 2-4 p.m. at Metcalf Funeral Home in Firth, Nebraska.

In lieu of flowers, memorials will be designated to the family’s choice.
