Frances Mary Beller

Frances Mary Beller, 90, of Norfolk, Nebraska, formerly of Lindsay, Nebraska, died peacefully with her family by her side on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, at The Heritage at Fountain Point in Norfolk.

Mass of Christian Burial was on Saturday, May 30, at 10 a.m., at Holy Family Catholic Church in Lindsay, with Father Taylor Leffler celebrating the Mass. Visitation was on Friday from 5-7 p.m. with a 7 p.m. Vigil Service all at the church. Visitation continued on Saturday from 9 a.m. until Mass time, also at the church. Interment was in Holy Family Catholic Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, plants, statues, and plaques, memorials may be directed to the donor's choice.

Frances was born March 25, 1936, to Joe and Mary Zach. She attended St. Mary’s School, graduated from St. Francis in Humphrey, and worked at Consumer Public Power. On Aug. 10, 1957, she was united in marriage to Alan Beller and they were blessed with seven children. Frances was a member of the Rosary Crusade and the Holy Family Guild. She was a proud supporter of Catholic education and took great joy in seeing her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren grow in their faith.

Frances had a gift for making people feel welcome, especially through her baking. She was well known for her homemade rolls, buns, cookies, and her famous mocka-balls. She loved to laugh and brought joy to those around her with her warm and caring spirit.

Her faith guided her daily life. Frances was devoted to prayer and made sure her family understood the importance of prayer and staying close to God. She found joy in simple pleasures, including playing cards, watching all kinds of sports and listening to Daniel O’Donnell, whose music she loved.

More than anything, Frances treasured time spent with her family. Her home was a place of comfort, faith and laughter, and she leaves behind a legacy of love that will live on in those she cherished.
