Bio
Donald Effle, age 80, of Norfolk, Nebraska passed peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, on March 8, 2023, at Stanton Health Center in Stanton following a lengthy illness. Don was born on February 16, 1943, in Walnut, Nebraska to Harold and Irene (Kotrous) Effle. He grew up on a farm near Verdigre and graduated from Creighton High School. Don married Mildred "Midge" Cerny on June 27, 1964. Together they had three children: Bryan, Cindy, and Kathy. They raised their children on a farm west of Creighton. They retired from farming in 1997 and moved to Norfolk. Don worked at Shopko, at Tractor Supply, for the City of Norfolk in the parks division, and worked with his brother Dick in a construction business. Don enjoyed the outdoors, doing word-search puzzles, reading newspapers, and watching TV. He loved spending time with his grandchildren playing cards, telling jokes, and sharing stories. Don was preceded in death by his son Bryan Effle; his parents, Harold and Irene; his mother and father-in-law, Mildred and Frank Cerny, his sister, Sharon Summers; his brothers-in-law, Gene Cerny and Tom Cerny; and his sister-in-law, Pam Cerny.
