Corinne Bethel Feller

Corinne Bethel (Faubel) Feller was born March 29, 1929, in Gordon, Nebraska to Ross and Wilma (Carson) Faubel. She grew up in Wisner, Nebraska and attended country school, graduating from Wisner High School in 1946. Corinne went on to attend Wayne State Teacher’s College where she earned her education degree. Growing up, Corinne enjoyed playing the piano, and writing ditties with her sisters and friends. Corinne married Donald Feller on February 18, 1950, at her parent’s home in Wisner, NE, and they were blessed with four children: Scott, Jim, Joyce, and Mary Beth. Corinne and Don raised their family in Macedonia, Carson and Griswold, Iowa before moving to Elkhorn in 1961. Don preceded her in death in September 2015. Corinne’s primary job was farm wife and stay-at-home mom, but she did work as a bank teller at the Bank of Elkhorn for a number of years, as well. She was active in the church choir at Bethany Lutheran Church and a member of the Eastern Star. She loved gardening, bird watching, and going dancing with Don. They took numerous great vacations to Minnesota, and they loved travelling to Hawaii. She was a hardworking, well-dressed, woman who was always put together and neat as a pin. Her favorite color was blue, and she cheered the loudest for the Elkhorn Antlers. She enjoyed listening to Lawrence Welk hymns, roses, and dinner at her favorite restaurant, Silver Lining. One of her pet peeves while working at the bank, was everyone carrying around a water bottle everywhere. It probably made her exclaim, “Oh my garsh!” Corinne cherished her family. From the birth of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren to celebrating her 50th anniversary with Don, she held them all close to her heart. Corinne will be remembered as a kind, hardworking woman who especially loved her grandchildren, birds, and flowers. Corinne passed away at Nye Legacy in Fremont, Nebraska on Monday, February 19, 2024, at the age of 94 years, 10 months, and 22 days. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Don, son Jim, sister and brother-in-law Demaris and Clete Gress and brother-in-law Bill Baier. Corinne is survived by her son Scott & Deborah Feller of Yankton, SD and her daughters Joyce & Cyril Pelster of Petersburg, NE and Mary Beth & Chris Leaver of Fremont, NE, 9 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren, and her sister Donna Baier of Greenfield, IA.
