Nancy, you were truly one of the strongest, most compassionate, hard working, loving women that I’ve had the great privilege & honor of knowing. I believe everyone will agree, You ARE one of a kind.
The time we had together was brief comparatively, however, I’ve learned so very much from you! I am extremely happy & blessed to have had the honor to be a small part of your life. You will ALWAYS be an inspiration to me. This inspiration has carried on through your amazing Granddaughter, Kala. I know You’d be so proud of the amazing woman Kala is today.
You put your blood, sweat, tears, heart & soul into raising your family & taking my Brother in as well. I will forever be grateful to you & will ALWAYS look out for Kala, your pride and joy, as my own true blood.
I will aspire to live my life with the bravery, determination, and compassion that you have shown me. So Nancy, I Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for not only touching my heart, but the lives & hearts of all! R.I.P. Nancy
My dear old friend. How did we get so old so quick? Just seems like yesterday we were swimming in the canal on a hot summer day. And when we would sneak out in Gils wheat field and smoke corn cobs. We thought we were so grown up. And when we all would load up in the car and go to the drive in and scare the be jesus out of us. That was great fun once a month we would get to come to town if we could talk Ralph to drive us because we weren’t old enough to drive. We were so poor and thank god we didn’t know the differents back then, And the teen dances we would go to in block 16 and Edwin Markam grad school. We sure had some fun times. Well except when we only had 15 minutes to get home and it took 25 minutes to make it. I’m gonna miss you my friend. RIP Love you

Nancy was our SunWest Rep for many years at the Transit. She was always upbeat and positive. She performed her job with a joyful attitude. She spoke fondly of her family if she had a minute to spare from her duties. My thought and prayers are with her family.
Nancy Re was a super, super lady!! All of us at RDO equipment Co. will miss her dearly. Nancy took amazing care of all of our needs and above all, was a great person. Our thoughts and prayers are with Nancy’s family and her extended family at US Linen and Sun West sports wear.

Grandma, you are loved and cared for by so many in this world, including myself and your great granddaughter Hailee. There isn’t a day that goes by that i don’t think of you and all of the times we shared a laugh or laid together on the couch just to take a nap together. Hailee misses you dearly Grandma, and we love you more than anything in the entire world. Xoxo
