Nancy GILBREATH Obituary
Nancy Anne GILBREATH Nancy Gilbreath, age 89, of Lake Forest Park, Washington, passed away peacefully at home on April 6, 2012, surrounded by family.

She was a much loved mother, sister, aunt and friend, and was generous and cared for others in need. Nancy is survived by her daughters, Susan (David) Pascal, and Carole Gilbreath, both of Seattle. She was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, Millard Gilbreath, Jr., and by her sister, Julianna Erskine. At her request, no service will be held.

Ahh, my beautiful, sophisticated, funny, worldly, artistic, gracious, loving aunt Nancy. Your house was for me, a portal to the world. No words can express my gratitude for your generosity which you expressed in so many ways. I miss you and will always have you and Julie sitting on my shoulder. Much love to Susan and Carole.
