I'm sorry, but I think this is probably a Delete. She sounds like a nice person, but she didn't really do much that was actually notable. The donation of some land to a charitable endeavour is very nice, but I'm not sure it makes her any more notable than the millions of others who also support charities to a greater or lesser extent.

Comment I was able to find a staff-written obituary for the subject in the Omaha World Herald [1]. A roughly $1M donation was covered in the Lincoln Journal Star back in 2009 and also contains some biographical information on the subject [2]. MoneciousTriffid (talk) 15:10, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep Per MoneciousTriffid's sources. Furius (talk) 11:50, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, subject gave nearly a $1M donation, and was a statewide educational leader (president of the professional society, guest speaker at rural teacher institutes, etc.). The article has been much improved since this deletion discussion began. Penny Richards (talk) 17:23, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
