Ramona B. Hasek, age 94, of Fremont, Died Thursday, October 15, 2026 at Shalimar Gardens in Fremont.
Ramona (Sevenker) Hasek was born on a farm near Ord, Nebraska to Ed and Minnie Sevenker and was named after the movie “Ramona” based on the book of the same name by Helen Hunt Jackson. Nearly 95 years later Ramona passed away at her home in Fremont, Nebraska.
Ramona graduated from Ord High School in 1949 and married Frank V. Hasek in 1950. She taught elementary children in two different one-room schools. Ramona and Frank moved to Fremont where she went to work at the O.P. Skaggs grocery store, which at that time was in the Fremont Opera House building.
Ramona gave birth to twin girls in 1952 who were born prematurely and did not survive. A daughter, Christine Ann was born in 1955 and son, Frank Allen was born in 1958.
Ramona stayed at home with her children, did some babysitting, and kept busy helping with and often leading the children’s activities, including PTA, Scouting, and 4-H. She loved to cook, bake, sew, make crafts, and garden both flowers and vegetables. As the children grew up, she joined other social activities such as Pals & Gals Extension Club, a Bunco Club, and various card clubs. Ramona also volunteered extensively at the Fremont Hospital, for the 4-H Fair tabulating winners awards, and delivered Meals on Wheels.
In 1974 Ramona began work at St. Pats Federal Credit Union and soon became manager from which she retired in 1994. She managed the credit union through two moves and computerization until it evolved into Fremont First Central Credit Union.
Ramona is survived by her children Chris (Brad) Johannesen and Frank A. (Sue) Hasek, grandchildren Steve (Michelle) Johannesen of Kearney, Nebraska, Angie (Ryan) Vogel of Beatrice, Nebraska, Nick (Devin) Hasek of Fremont and Matt (Rachel) Hasek of Fremont. Other survivors are great grandchildren Jacob Johannesen, Ethan Johannesen, Kayleigh Vogel, Lucas Vogel, Colton Hasek, and Carson Palmer. Ramona is also survived by two of her four siblings, sisters Rita Tolen of Ord, Nebraska and Betty Allen of Lincoln, Nebraska. She was preceded in death by her husband Frank and two siblings, brother Lyle Sevenker of Ord, Nebraska and sister Rose Marie Hruza of Burwell, Nebraska.
