Connie Faye Rohde, 74 years of age, of Lexington, Nebraska, formerly of Johnson Lake, Nebraska, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Wednesday, August 18, 2021 at Avamere at Lexington. Connie was born December 19, 1946, in Kearney, Nebraska, the youngest of two children born to Lee E. and Jeanne M. (Veal) Sleicher. She received her primary education from Burr Oak Country School in rural Custer County and then attended Sumner-Eddyville-Miller Public Schools, graduating with the class of 1965.
