“What we carry in our hearts never leaves us—love simply changes form.”

With heavy hearts, we are coming together to support the family of our deeply missed Feryn Wiede following her sudden and tragic passing. This unexpected loss has left her loved ones navigating profound grief while also facing the significant financial responsibilities that come with end-of-life arrangements. All funds raised will go directly to her beloved father and best friend, Jeff Wiede, and his wife, Kathy Wiede, as they carry her memory forward, along with all proceeds from the Feryn Wiede Memorial Karaoke will go directly to help cover funeral and cremation expenses, estate-closing costs, and arrangements that allow Feryn to be honored with dignity, care, and peace. Insurance covers only a small portion of these expenses, leaving the family responsible for the majority during an already overwhelming time.

Brought to you by Adams & Swanson Funeral Home

https://www.adamsswanson.com. Thank you again for the love, generosity, and support you have shown to Feryn’s father, Jeff Wiede, and his wife, Kathy Wiede. Your compassion and kindness are deeply appreciated.

More updates will be shared here if/when they become available.

Expected and Initial Expenses

Urn: approximately $400

Funeral and memorial services: estimated $5,500

Additional burial and relocation costs

Assistance with closing Feryn’s estate

Support with donating and distributing her personal belongings

Our goal is to raise $10,000, with hopes of exceeding this amount. Any additional funds will help fulfill her father’s final wishes to relocate Feryn’s urn to Jourdanton, Texas, where she will be laid to rest alongside her biological mother, and where her father plans to one day be laid to rest as well. Helping make this possible would bring immense comfort and closure to her family.

Even in passing, Feryn continues to give. Her hero walk was a powerful reflection of who she was—selfless, loving, and generous at her core. Through her organ donation, Feryn’s legacy lives on, continuing to save and change lives. For those who wish to know more about her spirit, humor, and the light she brought into every room, we encourage you to read her obituary, which captures her heart and personality beautifully.

Ways to Share Love & Support

We continue to be overwhelmed by the kindness, generosity, and support shown in honor of Feryn. Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared this page, or reached out to her family. Your love truly means everything during this time.

For those who would like to send support but are unable to attend the service in North Platte, Adams & Swanson Funeral Home offers several meaningful ways to honor Feryn from afar. Through their website, friends and loved ones may send flowers, cards, or plant a memorial tree in her memory. These gestures are deeply appreciated by the family and provide comfort during this season of grief.

Community Fundraiser & Memorial Karaoke

The Feryn Wiede Memorial Karaoke will be held in Omaha at:

Omaha, NE 68104

Date: Sunday, February 1st

Suggested donation: $10 at the door

This event is an opportunity for the community to come together in music, laughter, and remembrance—celebrating Feryn’s life while directly supporting her parents.

This loss was sudden and heartbreaking. Any donation—no matter the amount—helps ease the financial burden and offers peace of mind to Jeff and Kathy during this incredibly difficult time. If you are unable to give financially, sharing this fundraiser or attending the memorial karaoke is a meaningful way to show your support.
