Bio
Germaine (Gerry) Cummins, 94 of Holdrege, passed away Nov. 7, 2021, with her family by her side in Lincoln, Nebraska. Germaine was born November 12, 1926, in Columbus, Nebraska to Matthew and Hedwig (Triba) Jareski, the youngest of twelve children. She was united in marriage to Wilbur V. Cummins in 1947. With her family she resided in Columbus, Marysville, Missouri, Aurora, and eventually Holdrege, Nebraska where she lived up to 2019. Germaine was a homemaker and loving mother to ten children. Much of her time was spent managing the family business of newspaper routes, lawn mowing, and various "kid" jobs; at one point, nine of her ten children had paper routes. She was an amazing gardener and was known as the "Tulip Lady" in Holdrege. She enjoyed music, reading, and writing, and was a long-time parishioner of All Saints Catholic Church. She loved visiting with people and was known for her sharp mind and wit; she spent many years corresponding by letter with friends and family. She is survived by her children and their spouses, William, Robert, Bruce, Barbara, Jan, Donna, and Lee Ann (Sammi), along with numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husband Wilbur, daughters Patricia and Lynn, and son, Roger. Prior to the Rosary Service, visitation will take place at St. Teresa's Church from 5-7pm on Wednesday Nov. 10, followed by a funeral Mass on Nov. 11, at 10am. St. Teresa's Church is located at 36th and Randolph Streets in Lincoln. Contributor: Bill & Deb Stahly (50299016
