Cheryl Lynn Nielsen, age 62 of Sidney, Nebraska passed away peacefully on April 24, 2025. 

 She was born August 17, 1962 to Arvin and Sophia Marie Nielsen. She encountered many obstacles in life that affected her both mentally and physically, but they did not deter her kindness towards others. She loved her family most of all but enjoyed talking to everyone--she never met a stranger. Cheryl loved all animals, especially cats, and enjoyed visiting zoos, attending concerts, and eating out— her favorite meal being hamburger and french fries.

 She was preceded in death by her parents and grandparents and older sister Elaine (Leo) Nobel.

 Survivors include her sister Susan (Terry) Taylor, and brothers Don (Amber) Nielsen and Russ (Mary) Nielsen.

The Nielsen family would like to thank everyone at the Sidney Jackson House and Sidney OHD workshop for the tremendous care and love given to Cheryl throughout her entire life.

Memorial service will be held at Dugan Kramer Funeral Chapel in Scottsbluff on Saturday, May 10, 2025 at 10:30 a.m. with Pastor Herb Rainey officiating.  Cremation has taken place and interment will be at the Potter Cemetery.

Memorials can be made to the Potter Foundation and mailed to the Potter State Bank, Box 67, Potter, NE 69156. Fond memories and condolences may be left at www.dugankramer.com.
