AMELIA M. KOMPASS

LINCOLN — Amelia M. Kompass of South Lincoln, loving wife and mother of six children, passed away peacefully on Oct. 27, 2025, a week before her 94th birthday.

She is survived by her six children, Christine and husband Kevin, Daniel, Andrew and wife Emily, Timothy and wife Kathy, Matthew and wife Lois, Julie and husband Matt; grandchildren Timothy, Brian, Ashley, Patrick, David, Sara, and Kelsey; great-grandchildren Caila, Brendan, Katie, Lilly, Penelope and Harrison; and is predeceased by her beloved husband of 69 years, Edward, and grandson Mark.

Amelia (Emmy, née Heubel) was born Nov. 5, 1931, in North Bergen, N.J., to Johann P. and Maria M. Heubel (née Schuster) and is predeceased by her sister Eleanor.

Emmy was an example of a perfect wife and mother. She spent her life taking care of Edward and her six children. She was an angel and loved by all her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She and family moved from the east coast to the Chicago area in 1972 with Ed’s job and then returned to the east coast and Vermont in 1987 to be close to her mother and father, Maria and Philip of South Lincoln.

Emmy enjoyed needlework, crocheting and sewing. She was an amazing seamstress, and in her day made wool three-piece suits. She was a homemaker extraordinaire and had quite the green thumb, with a love of gardening, houseplants, cooking and baking. She was also a good pianist.

In Emmy’s most recent days she befriended a very kind and caring group of ladies and thoroughly enjoyed card game Tuesdays and volunteering at the local Lincoln library. Thank you, Annette, Mary Lu, and Mary…You were Godsends for our mother!

The family and close friends will hold a private burial service for Emmy at Maple Cemetery in Lincoln.
