Bio

Allan H. Neuhaus , 77, of Lincoln, NE passed away on Wednesday, August 27, 2025 at the Tabitha Journey House after a brief stay. He was born on January 3, 1948 to Arnold and Lauretta (Urban) Neuhaus in Stromsburg, NE. Allan grew up in Polk, NE and shared with his family many fond memories and stories of his childhood. After high school graduation, Allan was drafted to the Army on February 14, 1968, during which time he served in the Vietnam War as a radio repairman. He completed his active duty on September 18, 1969. Allan attended Kearney State College, graduating in 1971 with a bachelor's degree in sociology. He later achieved a master's degree in school psychology. In 2010, Allan retired after dedicating 40 years to his profession as a School Psychologist with the Grand Island Public Schools. Allan and Nannette (Denney) met at a mutual friend's wedding and were united in marriage at the New England Congregational Church in Stanton, NE on December 19, 1970. They shared a loving and devoted marriage of 54 years. Allan and Nannette made Grand Island, NE their home and raised three children: Katharine (Katie), Susan and Andrew. Allan's greatest joy was his family! He lived life to the fullest, spending his free time golfing, fishing, manicuring his yard and tinkering in his woodshop. Allan's granddaughters were the light of his life, always greeting them with "hello gorgeous" or "hello beautiful!" Allan and Nannette were lifelong members of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Grand Island where he served as an usher, on the Church council, as a communion deacon, as well as many other roles. He was a volunteer for the Nebraska State Fair, served on committees with Goodwill Industries of NE and the Arc of Nebraska, as well as being a regular blood donor. In 2002, Allan and Nannette moved to Lincoln, NE to be closer to their children and grandchildren. Allan's granddaughters enjoyed frequent visits to their "pops."
