Neva E. Place

July 1, 1922 — January 6, 2018

Neva E. Place, age 95, of Belmont passed away January 6, 2018 at Southwest Health Center in Platteville. She was born July 1, 1922 in Poynette, WI, the daughter of Theodore “Tate” and Leona (Helms) Busch. She graduated from Belmont High School in 1940. Neva married Wendell “Buzz” Place on September 12, 1962 at Peace Lutheran Church, Belmont. Throughout her life, she worked at Sweet’s Grocery, Mound City Bank, Nodolf Lumber, and the Do Drop Inn, all in Belmont. After Neva “retired” she ran the lunch room at the Belmont Sale Barn until she was 80 years old. She was an excellent cook and enjoyed making treats for friends – even making rolls for the coffee group at the pool hall each week. Neva was an active member of Peace Lutheran Church, and is remembered for baking cinnamon rolls each year at Easter.

She is survived by her son, Paul Place.

In addition to her parents, Neva was preceded in death by her husband, Wendell “Buzz”, on October 4, 1994; and a sister, Ila Mae Bockhop.
