Alice Joan (Foster) Wulf

Alice Joan Wulf, age 80, of Cambridge, NE passed away at the Beaver City Manor, Beaver City, NE on Thursday, June 22, 2023, surrounded by her family. She was born in Cambridge on July 2, 1942, to Loyal and Winifred (Sexton) Foster.  Alice attended school in Cambridge, graduating from Cambridge High School in 1960. Alice was united in marriage to Darrell Wulf on October 8, 1961. To his union three children were born: Darren, Douglas and Delisa. The family made their home on a farm north of Cambridge in 1971. It’s on that farm where Alice shared with her children her love of the outdoors and instilled the importance of work ethic and compassion for others.

Alice was employed as a secretary by the Twin Valley Public Power District (REA) from 1960 until 1968 when she left briefly to take on her favorite job raising her children. Once we nurtured them into adolescence, she returned to Twin Valley in 1983 and continued there until her retirement on her birthday in 2004.  She volunteered at Tri-Valley Health System and the Thrift Shop after her retirement. When not taking care of her children, grandchildren, and helping on the farm, she enjoyed antiques, embroidery, and especially out mowing around the house and farm.  The family remembers her wonderful breakfasts and desserts, including her Grape Nuts pie (poor man’s pecan pie) and cinnamon rolls. Alice was very blessed by her grandchildren, and they were her constant focus.  She was an avid Nebraska Cornhusker Fan, but you could find her watching just about any sporting event if there was something interesting on television. Alice also looked forward to her frequent outings with her gang of dear friends, affectionately known around town as the Flossie Posse.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Loyal and Winifred; husband, Darrell; brother, John and sister-in-law Charlene Foster, and brother-in-law, Dale Pearson. 

Alice is survived by her daughter, Delisa and husband David Novak of Littleton, CO; two sons, Darren and wife Trisha of Cambridge, Doug and wife Kellie of Kearney, NE; 7 grandchildren: Darian and husband Nic Killian, DeLaina Wulf, Dalton Wulf, Erica Lavery, Samuel Wulf, Hayden Wulf, and Hannah Wulf; brother, Jim and wife Bev Foster of Lexington, NE; sister-in-law, Donna Pearson; and her ever-faithful German Shepard, Abby. 

Visitation will be Tuesday, June 27, 2023, from 10AM to 7PM at Lockenour-Jones Mortuary in Cambridge, NE, with family present to greet friends from 5PM to 7PM. 

Funeral Service has been scheduled for Wednesday, June 28, 2023, at 10:00 AM at Trinity Methodist Church in Cambridge.  Friends may leave online condolences at lockenoour.com.  Memorials are suggested to the Cambridge Fire and Rescue, the Tri-Valley Hospital Foundation, or the Brookestone Home Health & Hospice.  Lockenour-Jones Mortuary of Cambridge has been entrusted with arrangements.
