Services will be at 10 a.m. Wednesday at Fairview United Methodist Church near Central City with Pastor Janet Burgel officiating.Burial will be in the Central City Cemetery. Solt-Wagner Funeral Home in Central City is in charge of the arrangements. Fern was born Dec. 20, 1922, on the family farm south of Paton, Iowa, to Lewis and Lena (Shafer) Fatka. She was raised on the farm and was baptized and had two years of catechism in the Evangelical Church, where she became a member. She graduated from the Paton consolidated school in May 1940. She was raised in the Evangelical faith and attended Western Union Collge (now Westmar College) in LeMars, Iowa. She registered in a two-year training course and graduated in May 1943. She taught school in Iowa and Naperville, Ill., while her husband attended the Evangelical Theological Seminary in Napersville. Fern was married to J. Russell Mead of Imperial, Neb., in her parents’ home at Jefferson, Iowa. She and Russell met at Westmar College, where they decided to be partners for life. To this union were born two daughters, Linda (Chuck) Ryan of Central City, and Jolene (Ed) Bantam of Shenandoah, Iowa. After Russell graduated from seminary, they moved back to Nebraska where Russell attended the University of Nebraska for graduate studies for two years. Fern worked in the catalog department of the university library. The district superintendent in the Nebraska conference encouraged Russell to take a church. The bishop assigned Russell and Fern to West Point, Neb., in 1949. It was a six-year pastorate. They continuously served pastorates in the conference to 37 years. They retired together in 1986 and made their home in Central City. In retirement, Fern made quilts for her daughters and grandchildren. By request, she made a quilt for her sister, Nada. She made throw pillows to accompany each quilt using a quilt block design. Fern is survived by her two daughters, five grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren; and one sister, Ruth Harrison of Jefferson, Iowa. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; two sisters, Rachel Klockseim and Nada Estes; and three brothers, Howard, Wilbur and Paul Fatka.
