Jerry D. Mcmann

August 4, 1941 — August 10, 2019

Jerry D. McMann, one of three children of Thomas “Lash” and Opal Pearl (Reeves) McMann, was born August 4, 1941 in Auburn, Nebraska. He grew up in Brownville, Nebraska where he attended school in his early years. In 1951 his family moved to Auburn where Jerry attended school and graduated from Auburn High School.

Jerry joined the Nebraska National Guard in the early ‘60’s and served during the Vietnam War.

On April 1, 1965 Jerry was united in marriage to Evelyan Wampler in Rock Port, Missouri. They made their home in Nebraska City briefly before moving to Auburn to live. The couple was blessed with two children, Lyle and Shelly.

Jerry had worked at the grain elevators in Brownville and Nebraska City before going to work for Engles Oil in Auburn. He was with the company for over 30 years until their closing. Jerry next worked for Sherman Seed in Auburn until retiring.

A member of the Auburn Christian Church, Jerry enjoyed collecting eagles, Husker memorabilia, hats, and classic car miniatures. He liked to work on wood projects and decorate for Christmas with Evelyan. Jerry didn’t know a stranger, and always had a joke to tell.
