Schlaman, age 91 of Sidney, NE passed away at her home surrounded by her family, Monday evening, February 17, 2014.

Memorial contributions may be made in Evelyn’s name to Sidney Regional Medical Center Hospice or St. Patrick’s Church Organ Fund. Gehrig-Stitt Chapel & Cremation Service LLC, is in charge of Evelyn’s care and funeral arrangements. Evelyn Schlaman (nee Cortney), was born February 16, 1923 on the Cortney family farm, one of 12 siblings. Evelyn earned her Teaching Certificate from Chadron College in 1941 and taught locally until her marriage to Oscar Schlaman, April 12th 1945. Evelyn and Oscar were partners in life for 59 years, raising seven children. She was a lifelong member of St. Patrick’s Parish, serving the church through participation in the Rummage House and Altar Society. Evelyn assisted in the preparation of hundreds of meals for church functions. She was also a proponent of recognition for the financial contributions of farm women to the local community through Wives Involved in Farm Economics. Grandma’s home and table were the scene of countless celebrations and a source of strength through the deaths of her children Kent, Barbara and Kristine. Despite these devastating losses, Evelyn remained, at her core, an optimistic person and continued, in her last years, to be the anchor for her far-flung family. Love in her home was expressed through an abundance of food and an “open door” policy. When you arrived, you could expect to be fed and cared for, no questions asked (although questions might be asked in detail later). Her grandchildren could always count on sugar cookies within minutes of walking through her door and she was famous for her cinnamon rolls, fudge and homemade donuts. As her children had children and then grandchildren, we were all grateful for her spotlessly clean kitchen floor – any number of meals were recovered from it by small, sticky fingers. She was preceded in death by her parents Humphrey and Mary Isabelle (nee Deaver) Cortney; husband, Oscar Schlaman; her daughters, Nancy, Kristine (Les Mardiks of Falls Church VA), and Barbara (Alan Edwards of Kokomo IN); and her son Kent (Debra of Sidney NE). She is survived by her children Phil (Donna) Schlaman of Lawrence, KS; Mary (Dave) Sostarich of Hercules CA; Jane (Joe) Hennes of Topeka, KS; and John (Laurie) Schlaman of Naperville, Ill. She leaves behind 19 grandchilden and 16 great-grandchildren.--Gehrig-Stitt Chapel & Cremation Service
