    Notes 
    • Barbara Ann Elznic, 70 of Cedar Bluffs, Nebraska passed away Friday, May 19, 2023 at Methodist Fremont Health. She was born September 8, 1952 in Biloxi, Mississippi to Marvin F. and Betty (Stasney*) Sefrna.

      Barb was raised in Hebron, NE and was a 1970 graduate of Hebron High School. She married Robert Elznic August 14, 1971 in Hebron. They lived in several communities including Lincoln, Alliance, Wilbur and the last 7 years they have been in Cedar Bluffs.

      Barb loved sports, the Huskers, and took great pride in that she could hold her own talking sports with the guys. She loved spending time with her grandchildren.

      She was preceded in death by her parents; infant son, Ryan Lee Elznic; and brother Marvin J. Sefrna.

      Barb is survived by her husband, Bob of Cedar Bluffs' daughter, Tiffany (Jonathan) Beukelman of Sioux Falls, SD; son, Nate (Heidi) Elznic and 8 grandchildren.

      Memorial Service will be 10:30 A.M., Saturday, June 3, 2023 at Moser Memorial Chapel in FREMONT. Visitation will be from 9:30 to 10:30 A.M., prior to the service on Saturday. Everyone is invited to wear your Husker gear in honor of Barb.

      Private interment will be at the Wilbur Czech Cemetery in Wilber, NE at a later date.

      *Dennis emailed, on May 21, 2023, that Betty STASTNEY, shown as Barbara's mother above, is not correct. Betty was born a FILIP. Her parents were James Ralph "Jim" FILIP and Julia Rose SLADEK. James died in 1950 and Julia second married Jaroslav "Jerry" STASTNY (note the correct spelling of STASTNY). I would suspect that's where the alternative surname is coming from but Barbara was 18 when her mom remarried so I doubt she was adopted and if so I have found no documentation to that effect. By the way Stastny in Czech means "happy" as in Stastny Novy Rok (Happy New Year).
