Obituary

Jane Ellen (Osterbur) Mikelson of Hartsburg, went to her Heavenly Home on July 10, 2015 at 7:09 p.m. at the age of 63 years. Jane was born on April 18, 1952, to Rev. Ehme & Ella (Bruns) Osterbur, in Dubuque, IA. She was married to Thomas Mikelson on August 12, 1972. They would be celebrating 43 years of marriage this year. Jane was preceded in death by her father Rev. Ehme Renkin Osterbur. She is survived by her husband, Tom; her son Todd (Heather) Mikelson of Danforth, her 3 granchildren; Jenna, Kyle and Ella Kate, her daughter; Amy (Jason) Wubben of Hartsburg, her mother; Ella (Bruns) Osterbur of Royal, her 3 brothers; Dave (Kim) Osterbur of Arlington, MA, Jon Osterbur of St. Cloud, FL and Dan (Diane) Osterbur of Warba, MN.

Jane was an active member of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Emden, where she served as an organist, junior/senior choir director, Praise Choir director and was on the Worship Committee. She kept busy with sporting events, keeping score for many coaches through the years, as well as with music, having been involved with Lincoln Community Theater, The Maple Club and playing for many high school musicals and Christmas cantatas.



 

Jane was known through her work at Bartmans Nursing Home, The Oasis Senior Citizens Center, Hartsburg-Emden School, Harvard Park Elementary and Carl Sandburg Elementary. Jane was an amazing wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. She will most be remembered for her love of music and her ability to love people of all ages and circumstances. Though she will be greatly missed, we rejoice knowing, that because of her relationship with Jesus Christ, she now rests in the arms of her Heavenly Father.
