October 18, 1967 – May 5, 2022
Dana Lynn (Colgrove) Bodtke was born on 10/18/1967 in Bristol, CT to Loren Walter and Linda Colgrove. At age 4 she was adopted by her step-father Dale Colgrove of Dewitt NE. Dana grew up in Dewitt with her parents Dale and Linda, and brother’s Brent, Dirk and Jake Colgrove.
Dana attended Tri-county high school and upon graduation in 1987 attended Southeast Community College- Beatrice Campus. There she earned an Associate’s Degree in Medical Transcription. Her first job was with Bryan Medical Center as a medical transcriptionist for Doctors in Radiology and Cardiology. She later applied those skills to Bryan Home Health Services until retiring due to health issues.
Dana went to be with our Lord Jesus on Thursday May 5, 2022. She is survived by her husband, Greg Bodtke of Lincoln, NE; parents, Dale and Linda Colgrove of Dewitt, NE; brother, Brent Colgrove (Faith) of Beatrice, NE; brother, Dirk Colgrove (Yvonne) of Desoto, KS.; brother, Jacob Colgrove (Jessica) of Beatrice, NE; father in law, Marvin Bodtke of Lincoln, NE; sister in Law, Deb Bodtke of Lincoln.
In addition, Dana Loved ALL of her Nieces and Nephews, great nieces and nephews! Children were a source of tremendous joy in her life. Dana is preceded in death by grandparents and several friends.
Dana was an amazing lady with an incredible love for people and for the Lord Jesus Christ. She professed her faith to everyone she met and openly invited others to follow.
Dana will always be remembered for her kind, loving, spirit and bigger than life smiles. Her laughter was identifiable above all others, and then of course there were the mandatory Hugs! She was an incredible wife, daughter, sister, fiend, and let’s not forget the world’s BEST dog mom.
She will be missed beyond belief and impossible to replace.
Heavens gain is so incredibly our loss.
Go in peace lovely lady, brighten Heaven with the light that you are, you will never be forgotten. . .
