Beata passed away on Tuesday, March 26, 2019 at the Countryside Home in Madison, NE. She was born on January 7, 1929 to Henry and Margareth (Frickenstein) Krienert in Sioux City, IA and raised on a farm near Pierce, NE with her five younger sisters. She attended St. Mary’s Catholic School in Osmond, NE. After finishing school, Beata worked for neighboring families and met William Schlickbernd, the love of her life, at a dance, in 1947. They were married on April 20, 1949 in Osmond. In 1953, they moved to Chadron with three children, and over the years, their family grew to include six daughters and six sons. They lived in their big house on the corner of Chapin Street for over 40 years until Willie passed away in 2010. Beata moved to Madison, NE to live at Countryside Home in 2014. In Chadron, Beata was a member of the St. Patrick’s Catholic Church altar society, prayer chain, weekly prayer meeting, and the Charismatic Renewal movement. Outside of church, she was a founding member of an organic foods cooperative in the 1970s to bring affordable natural foods to Chadron. She was passionate about organic gardening, canning, and making pickles, jams, and jellies. Most of all, Beata was legendary in Chadron for her homemade bread and rolls and even taught an extension class at Chadron State College on bread baking. She was featured in a regional newspaper for her baking methods and recipes. She also enjoyed dancing, birdwatching, gardening, music, drawing, and was a voracious reader. She was fortunate to have the opportunity to travel internationally to Japan, Germany, Canada, and throughout the country to visit her friends, relatives, children and grandchildren. Beata was preceded in death by her parents; husband William Schlickbernd; son Stephen Schlickbernd; daughter-in-law Shelley Schlickbernd; son-in-law Brian Davenport; and sisters Frances Hoffmann, Mary Dartman, and Adela Zach. She is survived by daughters Liz Davenport, Maggie (Al) Zipperlen, Joan Kutchmarski, Diane (David) Adams, Mary (Phil) Ryan, and Angela (Dennis) Amith; sons John Schlickbernd, David (Cecilia) Schlickbernd, Fred (Patty) Schlickbernd, Mark (Kathleen) Schlickbernd, Joseph Schlickernd, and Vincent (Shari) Schlickbernd, 22 grandchildren; 22 great-grandchildren; and 5 great-great-grandchildren. The family would like to extend special thanks to Countryside Home in Madison, NE, whose nurses and staff provided care for Beata in her final years with such grace, dignity, and love. Stonacek Memorial Chapel in Pierce, NE is in charge of the arrangements for Beata M. Schlickbernd. Back to Funerals Printer Friendly Version Send Story to a friend. |
