Melinda had a gift for making those around her laugh and smile. She was a natural encourager with a big heart, and somehow always had a way of making things feel possible, even during difficult times. Her family will especially remember her beautiful smile, her laugh, and the warm “momma bear” hugs that made everything seem a little better. She never missed an opportunity to remind her children how deeply they were loved and reassure them that everything was going to be okay.

Melinda’s faith was an important part of her life. She was a devoted member of Faith Apostolic Holiness Church, where she shared her love of the Bible as a teacher. Teaching came naturally to Melinda, both at church and in her career. She had a special love for working with children and took great pride in helping them learn, grow, and believe in themselves.

When she wasn’t teaching, Melinda enjoyed singing, being involved with her church, and, most of all, spending time with her family. She will be remembered for the light she brought into the lives of others, her ability to encourage those around her, and the love she gave so freely. Melinda had a way of making people feel cared for, supported, and hopeful, and that is a gift her family and friends will carry with them always.

Melinda is survived by her husband, Tony Dominguez; children, Melissa Pooler, Maria Dominguez, and Anthony Dominguez Jr.; sisters, Donna Jackson, Shirley Francis, Mary Kinney, and Margret Abbott; grandchildren, Victoria Rogers, Quynh Le, Brian Pooler, Vu Le, Jacob Pooler, Zachary Le, Melissa Tialynn Le, Rachael Pooler, and Anthony Daniel Dominguez III; and 15 great-grandchildren.

A Graveside Service will be held on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, at 2:00 PM, at Wyuka Cemetery, 3600 “O” Street, Lincoln.

Diane was born on January 1, 1958, to Richard and Adeline (Prochaska) Novotny. She grew up on a farm near Clarkson, NE with her sister and six brothers. After graduating from high school, she moved to Lincoln to attend Joseph’s College of Beauty. It was during this time that she met the love of her life, Bill. The two were married on May 26, 1981, and built a beautiful life and family, where they were blessed with two daughters, Mindy and Miranda.

Diane enjoyed spending time with her family and adored her grandchildren, Aviana and Barrett. She found joy in gardening, traveling, and hunting for seashells along the shore. She treasured the simple moments spent with the people she loved and created memories that her family will carry with them forever.

Diane was the heart of her family. She brought people together, offered comfort when it was needed, and loved fiercely. She was a woman of incredible strength, compassion, and positivity. She had a way of putting others before herself and giving love without ever asking for anything in return.

Though her absence leaves an unimaginable emptiness, her love, memories and strength will continue to live on through the people she loved most.

Diane is survived by her husband, Bill; her daughters, Mindy (Scott) and Miranda (Michael); her grandchildren, Aviana and Barrett; her bonus grandchildren, Peyton, Alexander, and Quinten; her bonus great-grandson, Xavier; her sister, Debbie; her brothers, Rick, Randy (Sherrie), Russell, Rod, and Ryan (Amanda); and many nieces and nephews.  She was preceded in death by her brother, Roger, and her parents.

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, from 6pm to 8pm at Wyuka Funeral Home (3600 O Street, Lincoln).

Funeral Service will be held at United Lutheran Church (5945 Fremont St. Lincoln, NE 68507) on Thursday, August 20, 2026, at 11am. Following the service, family and friends are invited to join us for a luncheon at the church. Interment will follow at Fairview Cemetery (84th and Adams).

Memorials to the family for later designation.

Bob will be remembered as a quiet, kind, and hardworking man with a wonderful sense of humor and a remarkable ability to fix just about anything. Naturally resourceful, he could often find a way to repair or solve a problem using whatever he had on hand. His practical nature, ingenuity, and willingness to lend a hand were qualities that those who knew him appreciated deeply.

A hard worker throughout his life, Bob took pride in doing things well and caring for what was entrusted to him. He enjoyed keeping a clean and tidy home and took great pride in maintaining the things around him. His kindness was reflected not only in what he did, but in the quiet and thoughtful way he treated others.

Bob was also a devoted sports fan, with a particular love for Nebraska football and hockey. His passion for hockey extended beyond watching the game—he played ice hockey himself and enjoyed the sport throughout his life.

Bob is survived by his sister, Laura Schleuger; his son, Todd Schleuger; and his nephew, Jeffrey Pepin and his wife, Suzette Clarke.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Jack Schleuger; and his grandson, Brody Schleuger.

Bob’s quiet nature, quick wit, resourcefulness, strong work ethic, and genuine kindness will be fondly remembered by all who knew and loved him. His life was marked by hard work, simple pleasures, and the many quiet ways he showed that he cared.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, August 8, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., with the funeral service beginning at 11:00 a.m. at Wyuka Funeral Home, 3600 O Street, Lincoln, Nebraska 68510. Interment will follow at Wyuka Cemetery in Lincoln.
