Bio
OMAHA — Hazel DeEtta Steinkruger Volk, 80, of Upland died Tuesday, Jan. 6, 2015, at Nebraska Medicine in Omaha. Services will be at 2 p.m. Saturday at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Minden with the Rev. John Carrier officiating. Burial will be at Macon Union Cemetery. Layton-Craig Funeral Home in Minden is in charge of the arrangements. The daughter of Edward and Rena Steinkruger, Hazel was born Dec. 27, 1934, at her parents’ farm five miles north of Macon. She was baptized on March 31, 1935, at Macon Methodist Church. As a kid, she helped her mom and dad on the farm, attended District 25 country school through the eighth grade and then went on to Hildreth High School and graduated in 1953. While attending District 25 school, Hazel and her younger brother, Leland, used a four-wheeled buggy pulled by a Shetland pony named Beauty to haul a cream can full of water every day to the school for drinking and washing hands. After she graduated from high school, Hazel worked for Randall George’s Ben Franklin Dime Store in downtown Franklin. On April 29, 1956, she married Dallas Volk of Campbell at the Methodist Church in Macon where she had been baptized and confirmed. She later joined her husband’s church, Zion Lutheran Church in Upland. Hazel and Dallas made their home on a farm in the rural Upland area. Their marriage was blessed with four children, Ardell, Randal, Marcia and Roger. Hazel and Dallas worked side by side on their farm for all of their married life. Hazel also taught Sunday school and Vacation Bible School first at Macon United Methodist Church and then at Zion Lutheran. Hazel loved her home and loved guests coming over. She always had a glass of tea when you came through the door, and she knew no strangers. She loved cooking, gardening, collecting Longaberger baskets, canning and tending to her vegetable garden. In later years, she was an avid Storm hockey fan. She also loved her cattle dog, Nellie, and cat, P.D. (short for Prairie Dog). She was a wonderful wife of 58 years to Dallas, a caring and devoted mother and a friend to all she met. She went through a lot medically in the last six months of her life and never complained. She always thanked her nurses and doctors for the care they provided. Left to treasure her memory are her husband, Dallas Volk; sons, Ardell, Randal and Roger; daughter, Marcia and husband Henry; brother, Leland Steinkruger and wife Betty; and brothers-in-law, Alvin Volk, Wayne Volk and wife Jonquil, and Leslie Worley. Also surviving are her nieces, nephews, various family and friends.
