Nancy Newman, our mother, went home to her Lord on March 22, 2023. We will not divulge her age, as that would not be proper, and Nancy was the definition of proper. Nancy was born in Oklahoma, but her family soon moved to Las Vegas, New Mexico. There she excelled in academics, collecting scraps for the war drives, and cultivating multi-cultural friendships. After high school, Nancy became a nurse and began her life of service to others. One day she met a young man who fixed her car for her. As was proper, Nancy made him a thank you dinner and not long after that they were married. Our parents, Clyde and Nancy, raised four children, Ruth, John, Frank and Theresa, and selfishly cared for many foster children in their early years. They taught their children the proper way to live and treat others. Be kind to others. Work hard. Be yourself. Go to church. Her dutiful children continue to honor her by their actions. When her children were older, Nancy went back to school and obtained her BS in Nursing in order to continue serving others. She spent years caring for the elderly as a long-term care nurse. With this expertise, Nancy also cared for many family members and friends as they were nearing the end of life. She always made sure her patients, her friends, and her family were treated properly, with dignity and love in their final days. In retirement, Nancy was pleased and proud to help raise her granddaughter, Ashton. She also combined hobby with service by knitting prayer shawls for the elderly. As Nancy neared the end of her earthly journey, she let us all know how to properly take care of her. It is her strength of mind and her practice of putting faith into action that created our tight, loving, though not altogether proper family. Mom, we truly appreciate the life you gave us and the love you showed us. Enjoy being reunited with Clyde and your boys. Enjoy the fruits of your earthly labors. Mom, we love you.
