Jill Thewke, an administrator in the UNMC College of Nursing, died Jan. 15. She was 58 years old.
\n

“Jill was one of those amazingly talented people who could offer advice about problems or issues and articulate a solution in a finely crafted manner,” said colleague LaDonna Tworek. “She was always willing to participate in any skit or activity that we developed for retirement parties or other events, so she had a fantastic ‘fun’ side to her as well. I loved her wisdom and wit. Jill had a knack for being able to talk to just about anyone and then becoming fast friends . . . God bless dear Jill.”
\n

Tworek called Thewke a bright star who will be truly missed.
\n

“Jill was extraordinarily supportive of UNMC and the College of Nursing, loved her family and friends, and stayed strong and courageous managing her health challenge,” said Juliann Sebastian, PhD, dean of the UNMC College of Nursing. “Events such as Jill’s passing remind us how important it is to express gratitude, show kindness, extend compassion, and all the many ways we show others that they are important to us.”
\n

“Jill had already been working in the College of Nursing dean’s office for nearly 10 years when I started in 2000,” said Cara Mouw. “She was a lifelong learner who was very proud of her upbringing, her family and her heritage. Jill was a very generous and giving person who loved to entertain and socialize. She was a good friend who would do anything for you. Jill will be missed by all of us who were fortunate enough to work with her and by everyone who knew her.”
\n

Thewke earned an associate’s degree from the Lincoln School of Commerce in 1982, and from the University of Nebraska at Omaha a bachelor’s degree in 2002 and a master’s degree in public administration in (2009).
\n

Celebration of Life services will be held in Albion in the spring. Details will be provided at a later date.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
