Nodee Alexander

Nodee Alexander, the son of Yoshiko (Saito) and Leland O. Alexander, was born February 12, 1950 in Yokosuka, Japan. He was called to be with the Lord on at his home in Guide Rock, Nebraska on April 1, 2021 following a lengthy battle with diabetes and its debilitating effects. Nodee arrived in the United States following his 12th birthday. His English language skills were limited so he spent many hours with his Aunt Stella Damon over that first summer learning basic English. He started American school in Hutchinson, Kansas the next fall beginning in Junior High. After his 17th birthday he asked his father to sign a consent to join the Navy. He served honorably and returned to Hutchinson where he met his future wife, Linda. They were married August 7, 1971 in Hutchinson. To this union they were blessed with twins, Daniel and Jaime, in 1976. Nodee began his food industry career at Doskocil Sausage Company in Hutchinson, Kansas in 1972. A 42 year career in food processing, both production and sanitation, led him from employee to management. Many years of food processing education, hard work and dedication to the industry led him to a 3 state area, Kansas, Dockocil and Smithfield, Colorado, Con-Agra Longmont Foods and to St. Joseph, Missouri where he managed a contract sanitation crew for Triumph Foods. After retiring to Guide Rock, Nodee wasn’t ready for the rocking chair. He mowed the first season for the Village of Guide Rock. He had become acquainted with Mike Kenny of Kenny’s Lumber in Red Cloud. Mike needed help with building, inventory and customer care. Nodee had found a perfect part-time position in his retirement. He stayed several years there up until his health began to fail. He had met a great number of local people and found some wonderful friendships. No matter where Nodee lived or worked, he made friends easily with his sense of humor and his willingness, kindness and generosity to always help when needed, whether it be for a friend, co-worker or a total stranger. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and making wood crafts for his grandchildren. He was a great husband and father but he really enjoyed his grandchildren and tried to stay involved with their activities. He would have tried to hang the moon for them if he could. Preceding him in death were his parents and a sister, Jeri Phillips. Surviving and left to cherish his memory are his wife, Linda, of Guide Rock; son, Daniel Alexander and wife, Micky, of Springfield, Virginia; daughter, Jaime Oglesby and husband, Brent, of Loveland, Colorado; grandchildren, Courtney Alexander of Monterey, California; Matthew Alexander of Springfield, Virginia; Jace Oglesby and Keaton Oglesby both of Loveland, Colorado; a brother, Don Alexander and wife, Betty, of south Hutchinson, Kansas; a sister, Ruth Helsel of Winfield, Kansas and several nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends.

Often joining her in her travels was her lifelong companion of 25 years, Terry. Many memories have been spent while riding their motorcycles together. Not much in life could make her happier than a big family get together, spending time with her family and friends made her heart happy. In her spare time, Nina enjoyed oil, acrylic, and watercolor painting and crafting on her potter’s wheel. She was a humorous woman. She often joked that she spent her entire life correcting the pronunciation of her name, but always with a laugh and smile. For those who don’t know, Nina is pronounced with a long I, as in the word “China”. (I know she is laughing about this). Nina was a loving and caring person, who had a true love of life. She did her best to live it to the fullest. She battled cancer off and on since 1999. She had a true fighter’s spirit and didn’t let anything get her down. Her determination for life allowed her to complete a few items off her bucket list. Two of these are skydiving and parasailing! Her vibrant personality and strength will be missed by all those who knew and loved her. Left to cherish Nina’s memory include her partner, Terry Nitschke; their blended family, Wendra Thompson, Kristen (Paul) Klevann, Stephanie (Kevin) Reid, Ryan Goodrick, Tiff Beaupre, and Allyson (Tim) Webb; ten grandchildren; 5 great-grandchildren; brothers, Lamont and best friend and sister-in-law, Cindy Whitmore, Ricky Whitmore, and Tim (Amy) Whitmore; two beautiful huskies, Nikos, and Sasha, who she adored very much. The family would like to extend a Thank You to the hospice staff, specifically, Nurse Amy, and aides Riley and Tess, as well as the entire suite 2 staff at Ottawa Riverview, especially Jodi and Dawn, for their amazing care and compassion for Nina.
