Lynn Tredway was born in Columbus on Feb. 11, 1926. Growing up in Columbus, she was a member of St. Bonaventure Catholic Church and attended the grade school there. She graduated from Columbus High School in 1944, where she and her future husband were high school sweethearts. She married Eugene "Gene" L. Tredway, Jr. on Dec. 8, 1944 when he was home on leave from the US Navy. Subsequently, they lived in Charleston, S.C., Oakland, Calif., and were in Brooklyn, N.Y. when WW II ended. After the war, they came back to Nebraska and lived in Columbus until 1953 when they and their four children moved to Aurora. Lynn and Gene Tredway farmed south of Aurora starting in 1953; she managed the farm since her husband's death in 1963. One of Lynn's joys in life was supporting her children's activities in school and 4-H. She was proud of their life and career accomplishments. An avid sports fan, she followed Aurora and Nebraska teams and particularly enjoyed the UNL women's volleyball team. She built and lived in her home in Aurora since mid-1965. She saw the Aurora community as a supportive place where neighbors helped neighbors and a wonderful place to raise a family. Her many friends and neighbors found her always ready to have a conversation and relished her perseverance and spunk. She was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church and Altar Society. She is survived by four children, Lynda Tredway, Lora Tredway (and John Gregg), Skip (and Mirm) Tredway, and Liza Tredway; three grandchildren, and three great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Gene Tredway, in December, 1963; her brother, Harry, in 1999; and close relatives and friends.
