Neta Marie Knoell, 77 years of age, of Holdrege, Nebraska, died on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, at The Cedars at Broadwell in Grand Island, Nebraska, surrounded by her daughter, and grandsons:  Jenny, Cain, Cole, Chase, and Chance.  Neta was born on December 28, 1946, in Lynch, Nebraska, to William and Velma (Phelps) Conard.  She attended school in O'Neill, Nebraska and graduated from O'Neill High School.

On April 27, 1963, Neta was united in marriage to Ronald Knoell at the Christian Church in O'Neill.  The couple made their home in California and then settled in Nebraska. They were blessed with five children:  Billye Jo, Ronald, Jr., Mike, Jenny, and Daniel.

Together the family enjoyed playing card games, Rummy was always a go to game!  Neta got a kick out of the game, Cards Against Humanity.

Neta worked at Phelps Memorial Health Center as a Unit Tech for many years.  Neta enjoyed being around her family and being included in their function, from school functions, to sports the boys played in.  She might not have understood what was going on but was there cheering loud for them!  Neta had a soft spot for her pets, especially her last two kitties, Sweet Pea and Whiskers.

Neta was preceded in death by her parents; and her husband, Ron in 2016.

She is survived by her children:  Billye Jo Morehouse and her husband, Brooke of Fremont, Nebraska; Ronald Knoell, Jr. and his wife, Jeanie of Sturtevant, Wisconsin; Mike Knoell of Elm Creek, Nebraska; Jenny Bailey of Holdrege; and Daniel Knoell and his wife, Jessica of Rolla, Missouri; along with many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and extended family.

Memorials in Neta's honor and are kindly suggested to the family for future designation.
