Cheryl Jurgens

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the peaceful passing of Cheryl Ruth Jurgens, a remarkable woman of humble spirit and thoughtful heart, on February 12, 2026 at her home in Lincoln. Born on February 23, 1947, Cheryl was a bright ray of sunshine, illuminating the lives of those around her. She resided in Lincoln, Nebraska, where she was known for her loving nature, and nurturing soul.

Cheryl was a graduate of Barneston High School and later Beauty College in Lincoln. Her career path led her to serve as a Supervisor at Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital until her retirement. Cheryl's dedication to her work mirrored her commitment to her community, as she was a devoted member of the Capital City Christian Church in Lincoln. Her faith in the Lord was a very important part of her life, but what mattered most to Cheryl was being with her family. She especially enjoyed watching and supporting her son Cory play baseball in an adult league in Omaha.

Widowed from her beloved husband, Ronald Jurgens, Cheryl's memory is cherished by her loving son, Cory Jurgens and his wife Holly of Lincoln. She is preceded in death by her husband, father, Chet Viets, and mother, Neva (Pyle) Viets. Cheryl's hobbies, such as dancing, yardwork, and being outside, were a reflection of her vibrant spirit. Always one to lend a hand, Cheryl frequently helped her friends and neighbors, embodying the essence of thoughtfulness and humility.

Graveside services will be held at 11:00 AM Thursday, February 19, 2026 at the Liberty Cemetery, Liberty, NE. Her body will lie in state on Wednesday from 1-8:00 PM at the Laughlin-Hoevet Funeral Home, 505 N. 9th Street in Wymore with her family greeting friends from 6-7:30 PM. There will be lunch served following the service at the Wymore Church of Christ, 618 W M St, Wymore, NE. You may go directly to the church, due to the weather, if needed. A memorial has been established to the family's choice for future designation with the funeral home in charge.

We invite you to share your favorite memories of Cheryl, upload cherished photos, and celebrate the life of this extraordinary woman on her memorial page at www.ghchapel.com.
