Diana Henry Obituary

Diana Harriet Henry, longtime resident of North Platte, NE, departed this life at the Bryan Memorial West Hospital in Lincoln on February 24, 2024. She was 87 years old.
Diana was born June 6, 1936, in North Platte to Paul William and Gertrude Marie Nisley in a small house on 3rd Street, across from the North Platte Salvation Army. She was the 5th oldest child in a family of 8.
She married Bob Henry in her mid-life and loved their life on the farm with the many opportunities to learn new things about pigs, cattle and farm life in general. As she grew older she enjoyed sharing interesting stories with her family and friends.

Diana had 3 daughters, 6 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. She loved family and hosting family gatherings at her home. She also enjoyed time with her extended family and friends going to lunches or offering cookies and coffee in her home. Diana treasured the time she was able to spend with her brothers and sisters and especially enjoyed visits by her older brother Jim when they would engage in many fix-up activities around the house. She also loved going for drives and vacations with her family.
Diana was an active member of her church, the Restoration Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ; she served her church in many positions throughout her life. The Bible was her favorite book. She was retired but stayed active working on crafts, cooking, canning, baking and other hobbies, often making things for the annual women's spring banquet. She also made wedding cakes when called on.
Diana is survived by her brother, Jim Nisley of Madison, WI; her sister, Marietta (Robert) Bradford of Modesto, CA; sisters-in law, Gayle Frosh of North Platte and Judy (Don) Christofferson of Stapleton; daughters, Judy (Pete) Rodriguez of Timnath, CO, Linda Datschefski of Independence, MO, and Sheryl (Mark) Schaeffer of North Platte; and her many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Paul and Gertrude Nisley; her husband Robert; brothers, Paul, Charles and Robert; sisters, Pat and Barbara; and great-granddaughter, Abbi Schaeffer.

The funeral service was held at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 2, at Odean Colonial Chapel with the interment immediately followed at Garfield Table Cemetery.
