Nancy Bozievich Kandel

In her life, she was very proud of the four children that she and her husband, Dr. George E. Kandel, raised together. They are George E. Kandel, Jr., Beth Collins Hebner, Douglas Milton Kandel and Suzanne Kandel Metheny. She was also blessed with eight grandchildren, Brittany, Allyson, Tyler, Lindsey, Sarah, Spencer, Lexi and Olivia. She has one great-grandchild, Bode.

Upon graduation from Chevy Chase High School, Nancy attended The University of Georgia. This is where she met the love of her life, George E. Kandel. Nancy and George traveled the world during George’s career in the US Air Force. After moving to Colorado Nancy joined George in his medical practice working in the front office. George always said his life with Nancy was never boring.

Nancy was a fantastic mother devoted to raising her children. Her other activities included President of the Medical Wives Group for Denver and various Board positions, including fundraising. She was also active in Opera Colorado with Board positions on that group. Her hobbies included art, painting, skiing, knitting, and reading.

She also felt blessed by the spouses her children brought into the family. They are Mark Hebner, Rita Kandel and Mark Metheny. Most of all, she loved her role as “Nana” to her grandchildren and she enjoyed so much the summer beach trips and winter ski trips they would all take together with the whole family.

Nancy’s memorial service will take place at 11:00 AM on Friday, October 20, 2023 at St. Thomas More Catholic Church, 8035 S Quebec St, Centennial, CO 80112. A reception will follow at the church.

Following the service will be a graveside service from 2:00 PM to 2:30 PM at Fort Logan National Cemetery, 4400 W. Kenyon Ave, Denver, CO 80236.

Please remember her in your prayers and know that she hopes to see you again with the Lord. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Amen.
