Ellen L. McFarland

April 5, 1949 – April 24, 2025

Ellen L. McFarland, 76, of La Vista, Nebraska, passed away peacefully on the morning of April 24, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on April 5, 1949, to Oscar and Isabel Wagner, Ellen spent her life as a devoted homemaker and the proud mother of her beloved son, Roger McFarland (1977–2012). She found great joy in the simple pleasures of life — working puzzle books, helping in her local homeowners association, and deepening her understanding and love of her Christian faith.

Ellen is survived by her sister, Shirley Goff, and brother-in-law, Ronald Goff, daughter-in-law Samantha Feddeler, her nieces, Heather Dekker and Holly Hickman; and her cherished grandchildren, Matthew McFarland, Alexis McFarland, and Jacob Davis. She was preceded in death by her parents, Oscar and Isabel Wagner; her beloved son, Roger McFarland; and her sister, Salinda Wagner.

Though she lived a quiet and humble life, Ellen's gentle spirit and steadfast faith left a lasting impression on all who knew her. She is now joyfully reunited in heaven with her son Roger, her sister Salinda, and her loving parents.

Visitation will be held at 9:30 a.m., Friday, May 2, followed by a service at 10:30 a.m., at Braman Mortuary Millard Chapel, 6505 S. 144th St., Omaha, NE. Burial will take place at Voss Mohr Cemetery, where Ellen will be laid to rest beside her beloved son Roger. (Click here for Livestream)

She will be dearly missed and forever remembered for her quiet strength, deep faith, and the love she shared so selflessly with her family and friends.
