    Notes 
    • Rufina M. (Schneider) Butterfield, age 94, of Lincoln, Nebraska, died Friday, June 25th, 2021. She was born on a farm three miles east of Plymouth, Nebraska, April 19, 1927. She was preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Martha (Hillmer) Schneider, and step-mother, Bertha (Allerheiligen) Schneider, sister Luella (Schneider) Molzer, husband Robert E. (Bob) Butterfield, and son, Steven R. Butterfield.

      After graduating from Plymouth High School, she moved to Lincoln, where she worked at Elgin, Russell Stovers, and Eastmont Towers, at various times in her life. She married Bob in 1949. They were avid walkers and enjoyed putting together many jigsaw puzzles over the years. She was an excellent seamstress who sewed and crocheted many items for her home and family. Bob and Rufina were able to travel together in the United States and overseas. All of us enjoyed many family get-togethers at their home. There were always homemade chocolate chip cookies in her family cookie jar. In her later years she enjoyed more jigsaw puzzles and visiting with friends where she lived at the Legacy Terrace and later Legacy Arbors Memory Care. She was a member of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Lincoln.

      Rufina is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Stan and Nancy (Weston) Butterfield of Lincoln, daughter and son-in-law, Karen and Bill Blackford of Universal City, Texas. Grandchildren, Kristin Butterfield of Lincoln, Melissa (Alan) Viox of Ceresco, Aaron Butterfield of Lincoln, Allison (Josh) Bryant of San Antonio, Texas, Tom (Chrystal) Blackford of San Antonio, Texas, and niece and husband Verneta and Lamar Schmidt of Holdrege, Nebraska. She is also survived by 12 great-grandchildren.

      A Memorial Service will be held Tuesday, July 6, 2021, at 11:00am, at Redeemer Lutheran Church. 510 S. 33rd St, Lincoln, NE. A Lunch reception will follow the service. Memorials are suggested to the family for future designation.
