Read More	Jan Biekert, 59, of Nashua, passed away Thursday, July 7, 2016 at Waverly Health Center, four days after suffering a devastating stroke. Velva (named after her grandmother) Jan Biekert was born to LaVerne and Joan (Hawker) Gibbs in Manchester, IA on January 28, 1957. She spent her childhood years in Nashua, graduating from Nashua High School in 1975. After high school, Jan worked for Winnebago Industries in Forest City, IA in the fiber glass department. At the beginning of 1976 a lifelong relationship was started when she met a young aspiring farmer from Nashua named Beryl. Through the next several months, their relationship grew and matured. In the fall 1976, they became engaged. On June 18, 1977 they were married at St. John's Lutheran Church in Nashua. Jan and Beryl started farming in the Nashua and Plainfield areas raising corn, soybeans, hay and dairy. On June 13, 1980 they welcomed their son Beau into the world, and on June 7, 1983, God blessed them again with their second son Clint. Through the next several years, she worked at home raising her boys, managing the farm books and serving her church and community. In 1992, she started her career in the insurance industry working as a Secretary at the Bergman, Moeller, Reuscher Insurance Agency in rural Waverly, now People's Insurance of Tripoli. She worked there until her death. Asked if she was blessed, there was no hesitation in her answer. She took great pride in her family and friends. She was especially proud of her grandchildren and had an enormous love for them, taking any opportunity to spend time with them, spoil them and pour her love on them. Jan also enjoyed gardening, traveling, and repurposing garage sale finds into various decorations and pieces of furniture. In approximately 1998, she started her battle with heart disease. She would eventually go through countless appointments, procedures, and several surgeries as she fought this battle over the years. Despite all of this, she always remained positive, faithful and full of hope which is a direct result of her unwavering faith in Jesus Christ. Jan leaves behind her parents; her husband, Beryl of rural Waverly; sons, Beau (Dianna) Biekert of Waverly and Clint (Kate) Biekert of Dubuque; three grandchildren: Levi, Lacy and Jesse; three siblings: Terry (Connie) Gibbs, Doug (Terri) Gibbs, Lori (Dave) Green; and a brother-in-law Jim Shepherd. Her older sister, Cathy Shepherd, preceded her in death. Many tears have been shed, but we will never forget the legacy of love, generosity and faith that she left behind for us all to pass along to our children and grandchildren. Memorial service will be 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, July 12, 2016 at United Methodist Church in Nashua with Rev. John Tunnicliff presiding. Friends may greet the family from 4:00-8:00 p.m. Monday, July 11, 2016 at Hugeback-Johnson Funeral Home - Olson Chapel in Nashua. Visitation continues at 10:00 Tuesday at the church. Interment will be at Horton Cemetery with Beau Biekert and Clint Biekert serving as urnbearers.
