La Jeana was a very caring and lovely person. Always helped anyone in need. She was a college classmate while studying to be a Speech Language Pathologist. Great memories of our study groups. Foundest memory is when La Jeana came to the hospital to stay with me while I was in labor with my second daughter so my husband could drive back to Lincoln to get my packed bag. (I did not bring the bag because I really thought the Dr would check things out and send me home.) Plus, Mike and La Jeana took care of our other daughter, Lauren, until our family arrived the next morning. Lauren really loved being around La Jeana and we appreciate all her family has done for us. She will be missed. Prayers

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with La Jeana at NWAESC for many years. Her desk was across the aisle from mine and we chatted often about work life. I will miss seeing her at Co-op luncheons and activities. I will keep you in my prayers. Sincerely, Rebecca Vockroth
