Mary Lu Daniel was born on June 29, 1937 to Fred and Gertrude Lundstedt and grew up in North Loup Nebraska. After graduating high school she attended business school in Lincoln where she lived the remainder of her days.
Mary enjoyed working with children and after raising six kids of her own she ran a child care business out of her home for nearly 20 years. Other interests included jigsaw puzzles, crosswords, doll collecting and photography.
Following a stroke she spent the final years of her life in and out of hospitals and nursing facilities fighting a difficult fight to recovery. After a determined and exhausting battle she finally decided that it was time to move on, passing away peacefully in her sleep on July 26, 2020.
Mary was preceded in death by her loving husband and best friend Richard and is survived by 6 children, 12 grandchildren and many great grandchildren. We will dearly miss her love and guidance.
