Died Wednesday July 27, 2016 at his home.

Jerry L. Uehling was born July 3, 1943 in Hooper, Ne. to Elmer and Mildred Uehling. He graduated from Hooper High School in 1961. He worked at the grain elevator in Nickerson after graduation while still working on his family's farm north of Hooper. On April 17, 1964 he married Virginia "Ginny" Appel. They had two sons Timothy Shawn and Jim Joseph. In 1968, the Uehling family received the Ak-Sar-Ben Pioneer Family Award, recognizing Nebraska farm families who have consecutively held ownership of land in the same family for 100 years or more. Jerry's love for farming was a lifelong passion. He worked on his family's farm throughout his life.

Jerry served six years in the U.S. National Guard of Nebraska and received an honorable discharge on February 25, 1972. Jerry was a proud member of the American Legion achieving 29 years of continuous membership.

Never one to rest, Jerry worked at Hormel Meats for 37 years while still farming. He retired from Hormel in June of 2006, then started working for Taylor and Martin Auctioneers.

Jerry was a loving and dedicated grandfather who often drove to the Omaha area to watch his all his grandchildren's activities.
We will always remember Jerry for his willingness to lend a helpful hand whenever needed.

Jerry was preceded in death by parents Elmer and Mildred (Meyer) and special friend Mary Popken. He is survived by his two sons and their spouses Timothy and Kathleen of Elkhorn; Jim and Gina of Valley; grandchildren Joshua, Matthew, Jacob, Jaelyn and Zachary Uehling; former spouse Ginny.

    Being 1st cousins, we were often at the same party, picnic, or reunion. Our moms were sisters so I was often the daughter your mom wanted. I have such great memories of spending two weeks every summer on the farm. It was so exciting for this city girl and you were the younger brother I never had. May God welcome you with open arms. Your cousin, Dotty
