She spent the last hours of her life surrounded by loved ones including her twin brother, Ron, her loving husband, Adam Staib, and her devoted niece Joanne Lamson-Zautke. Roz attended Norfolk Public Schools and graduated from Norfolk High School in 1968. As a young woman Roz enjoyed the local music scene and loved spending time with friends – most of whom have remained lifelong friends. Rosalind was given the moniker, “Roxie” and was called that by many of her early friends. Roz and Adam Staib were partners for 44 years and were married August 13, 2015. Along with like-minded friends, Roz helped to found the Harvest Moon Food Co-Op, which was innovative in the 1970s and early 80s. Natural foods were trucked into Norfolk in bulk and members helped to package and market the items in order to provide foods that were otherwise unavailable in the area. During the 1970s, Roz worked at Villa Inn where she gained a love of the restaurant business. Roz was a talented and creative chef. She and Adam conceived the idea of opening an upscale restaurant where the meals were prepared from organic, natural and locally sourced ingredients. The Uptown Restaurant opened in Norfolk in September of 1981. Under the management of Roz, The Uptown was unique and a progressive contribution to the City of Norfolk. She enhanced the community’s appreciation of fine wines, music, and art – including the artwork of John Lennon, and Claude Monet. The Uptown Ballroom was a venue for numerous events including weddings, plays, concerts, and the millennial New Year’s Eve party. She catered to and befriended numerous celebrities including Johnny Carson, Doc Severson, Arlo Guthrie, Alexander Payne, and the cast and crew of the film Nebraska, which was partially filmed at The Uptown in Stanton. Roz and The Uptown hosted various special events such as the Irish festivals, Scotch tastings, and annual anniversary parties. She was a master at catering, and her food creations were featured at local events of all kinds. Her Normandy Tomato Bisque was literally world famous. Among her many honors, she was awarded Four Silver Spoons and Nebraska travel guides recommended her restaurant to both international and domestic travelers. Roz lovingly devoted herself to The Uptown and its patrons. She took pride in pleasing everyone who walked through her doors. The Uptown moved to Stanton in 2001. Roz was the heart and soul of The Uptown Eating Establishment. During the Covid shutdown earlier this year, Roz was saddened to close the doors to The Uptown but continued to serve her beloved clientele with pick up and curbside service, working hard everyday despite suffering through the early symptoms of her illness. Roz loved antiques and unique artwork and, over the years, she amassed an impressive collection of both. She was a patron of the arts and supported local artists of all mediums. Roz was incredibly generous and beloved by many people. She was a true and loyal friend who unselfishly gave of herself. She was a founding sister of the Women’s Obligation Monthly Brunch group (WOMB) – a tightly knit group of women who have met for brunch for nearly 40 years. She was a member of the Milarepa Rangers. Roz was proceeded in death by her mother and father, brothers-in-law Eddie Staib and Bernie Staib, nephew Bennie Staib, siblings Rebecca (Rogge) Renter, Randy Rogge, and sister-in-law Rose Rogge.

Margaret Caroline (Sjoblom) Schellpeper was born April 4, 1918 to Fritz and Emma (Asplin) Sjoblom in the Bega neighborhood of Stanton County Nebraska. She left this life on Thursday July 30, 2020 at Heritage of Bel Air in Norfolk.
She was raised along with her younger sister Thelma on a typical family farm from that era. She attended school at Bega and finished high school at Stanton Community Schools. She graduated in 1935. Margaret attended college in Lincoln and Omaha for about one year. She returned to Stanton and was employed by the USDA AAA office, after her college aspirations were cut short due to an economic setback experienced by her parents. A lightning storm claimed the lives of most of their dairy herd. Margaret, quiet and reserved was wooed by the more social Fred Schellpeper and they married on June 14, 1941 at Madison, Nebraska. Fred was employed at the Stanton Printing Company (published the local paper) at that time. Eventually they were able to start a diversified farming enterprise in Northern Stanton County, with the help of Fritz and Emma. The core of the business was to purchase the Asplin Family Homestead farm, part of Margaret’s legacy. Margaret and Fred raised a family. Three children were born to the marriage: Margo, Carole and Fred Jr. Margaret and Fred lived on their farm until 2002, when they finally fully retired and moved to Norfolk. Fred passed in April 2004, and Margaret lived in their home until late 2015. She then moved to Heritage of Belair until she joined her parents, sister and husband. This synopsis does not begin to describe the kind of person Margaret was and still is in the hearts of her family. Her quiet and steady influence will live on in those that she touched and all will miss her constant presence. The gifts she bestowed were earned and went deep in those that were blessed with her countenance. Her grandparents, Oliver and Margaret Asplin, immigrated to this country in the mid to late 1800’s. From that legacy, which includes the land they claimed and improved, and still remains in the family’s care, a quiet determination was born. Intelligence and hard work were it’s byproducts. In addition to Margaret and her sister Thelma being integral in successful agricultural enterprises locally an example of the family’s ability is expressed by one of their first cousin’s exploits in California. The cousin graduated first in his law school class at Cal-Berkeley and went on to a distinguished legal career. Margaret had a strong religious faith that carried her through good and bad times. She believed in the fruits of the Christian philosophy and the discipline and ultimate reward that comes with it. Margaret was a member and past president of the DF Chapter of PEO. Margaret Caroline (Sjoblom) Schellpeper was preceded in death by her husband Fred, parents Fritz and Emma and sister Thelma (Sjoblom) Barr. She is survived by her children, Margo Marsh of Blair; Carole and husband Ward Curry of Lincoln; Fred Schellpeper Jr and wife Sandy of Norfolk; 8 grandchildren, 8 great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
