Jerald “Jerry” Alan Dominicak, 67, of Sioux City, IA, passed away August 25, 2026. Per his wishes, there will be no services at this time. Arrangements are under the direction of Waterbury Funeral Service of Sioux City.

Jerry was born on March 6, 1959 in Mitchell, SD to Harry and Leila (Butts) Dominicak. He grew up in Mitchell and developed a passion for riding show horses, and eventually became a trainer. For 30 years, Jerry dedicated himself to the Siouxland Humane Society as the Shelter Director. Three decades of caring deeply about this organization, the animals who came through the doors, the community he served and the people who worked alongside him. Jerry helped shape the Siouxland Humane Society into what it is today. He led them through challenges and changes, celebrated the victories, built lasting relationships throughout the community and remained a steady presence through it all. But Jerry’s impact goes far beyond the walls of the shelter. He was a huge supporter of the Sioux City Musketeers, Bandits and Explorers. He was also a big advocate for Pride week and the LGBTQ Community. He enjoyed spending time with friends, going to car races, and four wheeling in the Black Hills.

Memorials may be made to the Siouxland Humane Society in Jerry’s honor

Louella Mae (Fredrickson) Collins, 91, of Sioux City, passed away peacefully on Monday, August 24, 2026.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, September 2, 2026 at Holy Cross Parish – St. Michael Catholic Church. Visitation with the family will be Tuesday from 4-7:00 p.m. Prayer service at 6:00pm at Waterbury Funeral Service of Sioux City. Burial will be at St. Patrick Cemetery in Danbury, Iowa.

Louella was born on March 8, 1935, at her family home near Danbury, Iowa, to George and Stella (Bumsted) Fredrickson. She attended Fairview Country School through the eighth grade before continuing her education at Oto High School, graduating in May 1953. She later attended National Business Training School and worked as a bookkeeper at Hansen Glass & Paint for five years.

On June 25, 1960, Louella married Keith W. Collins at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Danbury, Iowa. Together, they made their home in Sioux City before moving in January 1968 to a new home southeast of Hinton, Iowa, where they raised their three sons and built a life together. Keith passed away on September 30, 1985.

In May 1994, Louella moved back to Sioux City, where she spent many years working as a housekeeper. She was also well known for something much sweeter, her love of baking. For many years, Louella operated a small baking business, selling her homemade baked goods at the farmers market and filling orders for countless customers, many of whom became dear friends. Her breads, bars, dinner rolls, and especially her caramel rolls, were enjoyed by many over the years.

Louella loved staying busy and being around people. She belonged to several card clubs over the years and could often be found playing cards several days a week, especially Pitch and 500. She also enjoyed taking day trips, with mystery bus trips being a favorite, and was a devoted fan of the Sioux City Explorers. Family gatherings and holidays were especially important to her and were rarely complete without her potato salad, fried bread, cookies, or pies.

Those left to cherish Louella’s memory include her three sons and their wives, Bradley (Joan) Collins of Kingsley, Iowa, Brian (Kris) Collins of Merrill, Iowa, and Bruce (Jody) Collins of Sioux City, Iowa; her grandchildren, David (Megan) Collins, Dustin (Alysha) Collins, Ryan Collins, Ashley (Ryan) Bates, Mitchell Collins, and Emmalee Collins; and her great-grandchildren, Hadley, Danika, Everett, Amelia, and Amira Collins, and Hallie and Haisley Bates. She is also survived by her brother, Kenneth (Lila) Fredrickson, and her nephew, Deron Fredrickson.

Louella was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Keith; her parents, George and Stella Fredrickson; and her sister-in-law, Beverly Fredrickson.

Louella leaves behind a lifetime of memories made around kitchen tables, at ball games, during card games and family gatherings, and through the countless meals and baked goods she lovingly made for others. Her greatest legacy, however, is the family she loved so deeply and the many lives made a little warmer, sweeter, and fuller simply because she was part of them.

Christopher “Chris” A. Mitchell, 50, of Sioux City, IA, passed away at home, surrounded by his family on August 22, 2026...

Christopher “Chris” A. Mitchell, 50, of Sioux City, IA, passed away at home, surrounded by his family on August 22, 2026. A memorial service will be held at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 29 at Tucker Hill Vineyards, 1001 Tucker Hill Dr. in Hinton, IA 51024. A celebration of life will follow the service. Flowers can be delivered to Tucker Hill Vineyard starting at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday. Arrangements are under the direction of Waterbury Funeral Service of Sioux City.

Chris was born on May 29, 1976 in Cherokee, Iowa, to Darlo Mitchell and Jean McCormick. He spent most of his childhood in Correctionville, Iowa but eventually landed in Sioux City. He graduated from West High School in May 1994. It was also in Sioux City that he met the love of his life, Brandie Carlson. They were united in marriage on April 29, 1995, in Sioux City. It was there that they built a life together and welcomed their son, Joshua, on September 25, 1998. Chris considered Josh, his greatest and most important accomplishment - raising a good man. He was very proud to have helped him buy his first truck, watch him graduate, and see him become a dad. The bond between the two of them was unmatched. A few years ago, Chris's family grew when Josh started dating Josie. Chris welcomed and loved Josie, and her son Gavin, very much. Then came Little Man, Christopher Luke- his grandson and namesake. He was the absolute joy of Chris's life and one of the main reasons he was able to fight so long. He was extremely thankful to have had 18 months making memories together with him. Family was everything to Chris.

From a very young age, Chris was a hard worker. He made an impact on the connections with people at several jobs over the years. Many of which he was still close with - a testament to what kind of person Chris was. In 2023, Chris along with partners Cristian Lugo and Ethan Sundleaf, started their own fence business - Premier Fence & Gate, here in Sioux City. They have been able to build a business from the ground up and found success in a few short years. Chris was extremely proud of this.

When Chris wasn't working or spending time with family, you could usually find him helping someone. He was an all-around awesome handyman and could figure out anything. He liked being productive, doing things right, and helping people he loved with anything they might need. Chris enjoyed grilling a good meal, a cold Miller Light, a game of pool, traveling when possible, attending car shows, and cranking up some good heavy metal tunes. Most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his friends and family - watching his grandsons grow, learn, and play.

Chris had the BEST sense of humor and the quickest wit. He kept people on their toes and kept us all laughing until the end. What a gift he was to many!

Those left to honor his memory include his wife, Brandie; son, Josh (fiancé Josie); grandsons: Gavin and Christopher; mother, Jean; sister Lacey (wife Sam); and many other family members and friends.

He is preceded in death by his dad Darlo, grandparents Neal and Mary, Bill and Sandy, and sister-in-law, Tamara.
