at Nye Legacy Health and Rehabilitation Center in Fremont

Marcella "Sally" Williamsen was born to Otto F. and Ida A. (Poppe) Pribnow on January 11th, 1943, in Scribner, NE. Sally grew up on a farm outside of Scribner, NE, graduating from Scribner High School in 1960.
On September 18th, 1960, Sally married Roger Williamsen in Scribner (they were later divorced). Sally and Roger made their home in lots of places, most of the years in a farm south of Craig, NE (Alder Grove) and Craig itself, where they operated an auto repair shop and raised their four children. Sally was employed many years at the Pendleton Mills as a steam press operator. She was also employed as a waitress, bookkeeper, housecleaner, and store clerk over the years. Sally enjoyed sewing, traveling, hunting, and flying. She was an enthusiastic angler, having fished in Alaska, Colorado, Montana, Arkansas, and many other locations. She especially loved spending time with her grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Otto and Ida Pribnow, and sister, Shirley Pribnow.

Sally is survived by her son, Joel (Linda) Williamsen, of Huntsville, AL; daughter Judy (Layne) Gebers, of Clarksville, TN; son Jon Williamsen, of Lyons, NE; and daughter Jenna (Shanon) Morris, of Cedar Bluffs, NE; brother, Otto (Emily) Pribnow, Jr., of Scribner, NE; eight grandchildren and one great grandchild.

Honorary bearers will be her eight grandchildren: Nikkole Gebers, Dustin Gebers, Christopher Williamsen, Jenessa Gebers, David Williamsen, Taylor Williamsen, Daphney Williamsen, and Leo Morris.

There will be no graveside service, instead, a memorial marker will be placed at a later date at Alder Grove Methodist Church where her ashes will be interred.

The memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 31, 2015, 10:00 AM at United Lutheran Church in Scribner with Rev. Dr. Nicki McIntyre officiating.

Memorial visitation with the family members will be held on Friday, January 30 at the Ludvigsen Mortuary, East 23rd Street, Fremont, Nebraska from 4:00 to 6:00 PM.
