Adelaide Katherine (vonSeggern) Low, 88, a long-time Lincoln resident, passed away Sunday, September 29, 2019, at Bryan East Hospital, Lincoln, Nebraska. She was born August 3, 1931, on her family farm north of Fremont, Nebraska, to Harvey and Erna (Schmidt) vonSeggern.
Adelaide graduated from Fremont High School and attended Midland College for one year. She taught for six years including Saunders County rural schools and at District 76 in Dodge County. She married Harlan G. Low on June 6, 1953 in Fremont. They eventually moved to Lincoln where she spent the rest of her life.
After 19 years, Adelaide retired from Cushman in 1997. She was active in 4-H and United Lutheran Church. She and Harlan also served as a "host family" for many foreign students attending the University of Nebraska and high school. Together they spent many years collecting and displaying Department 56 Snow Villages. They also loved traveling with family, visiting Hawaii, Europe, and most of the United States. Adelaide was deeply invested into family genealogy, delighted in Sunday crossword puzzles, political analysis, and of course was a devout Big Red football and women’s volleyball fan.
Adelaide is survived by her brother, Dale vonSeggern; sister-in-law, Betty Low; sons, Byron and Dennis (Nancy); daughter, Karen (Doug); four grand-children, Kathryn and Christopher Low, Jack (Niki) and Anna Hepp and one great grand-child, Adelie Hepp. She was preceded in death by her husband, Harlan; daughter, Brenda; two brothers and one sister.
A memorial service will be held at 11 am Saturday, October 19, 2019, at United Lutheran Church, 5945 Fremont Street, Lincoln, with Rev. Dr. Neal Anthony presiding.
Memorials may be made to United Lutheran Church.
