Nancy Burger

Nancy Louise Burger (Reynolds)

March 13, 1944 - March 7, 2013

Nancy, born in Ogden, Utah, moved to San Francisco as a child and met her husband of 44 years, Frank Burger. Nancy, an extraordinary, loving woman, passed away on March 7, 2013, surrounded by her children, the joy of her life. She was kind, patient and loving, with a sense of humor that never faltered. Nancy was an avid sports fan, who loved the Giants and was thrilled to watch them win two World Series titles.

Nancy is survived by her children, Ron, Kelly, and Shawn; 6 grandchildren; 1 great-grand-child, and cousins Mike and Pat Baggs. She was preceded in death by her parents, Norman and Betty Reynolds; and husband, Frank Burger.

The family would like to acknowledge the outstanding treatment she received from the Stanford Medical Center, transplantation team. Led by Dr. David Weil, the lung transplant members are superior individuals, whose remarkable drive to save lives through organ transplants was inspiring. They all will never be forgotten, along with our understanding for the need for more organ donors in the United States.

A private family memorial will be held to celebrate Nancy's life. In lieu of flowers, the family prefers memorial contributions be made to the Stanford University Medical Center, GHAFD - Transplant Research and Patient Care Fund, Stanford University Development Services, PO Box 20466, Stanford, CA 94309.
