Marcene M. Brackle

Marcene Marie Brackle (Kellie), 66 years, of Fairbury, Nebraska died Thursday June 20, 2019 at Bryan Health in Lincoln, NE. Marcene was born June 2, 1953 in Fairbury, Nebraska to Clyde and Violet (June) Kellie.
Marcene grew up in Endicott, Nebraska and graduated from Fairbury High School in 1971. Marcene married her high school sweetheart, Robert Brackle on September 6, 1975. Marcene worked at the Jefferson County Well-fare office for 6 years before working at the family grocery store, Brackle’s B Street Market, with her husband and father-in-law until it closed in 1999. She then worked at First National Bank of Fairbury/Heartland Bank until her passing. Robert and Marcene lived together in Fairbury where they raised their family.
Marcene enjoyed taking drives with her husband and overlooking the country at the cabin her husband built. During Marcene and Robert’s 50 years together (married 43 years) they were able to enjoy vacations and outdoor activities. Marcene thoroughly loved music and passed that love onto her children. Marcene’s pride and joy were her children and grandchildren and she lived for spoiling them with delicious food and desserts. Marcene was a self-less person and always put her family first.
She is survived by her husband, Robert, sons, Brent (Lindsey) Brackle of Arvada, CO, Bryce (Sarah) Brackle of Papillion, NE, John (Melissa) Brackle of North Bend, NE, and Rob (Heather) Brackle of Rochester, MN, 11 grandchildren, Mason, Dylan, Jaxon, Gavin, Brooklyn, Beau, Brayden, Ty, Drew, Saylor, and Judd, brother, Jim (Lanette) Kellie of Larned, KS, and sisters-in-law, Carolyn Seger of Fairbury and Becky (Tom) Batcheller of Souix Falls, SD.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Clyde and Violet Kellie, parents-in-law, Morgan and Betty Brackle, infant sister, Becky, and brother-in-law, Don Seger.
