NANCY BORDEAUX Obituary
Nancy Jane BORDEAUX Nancy Jane Bordeaux passed quietly in Huntington Beach, CA March 4, 2011. Born March 12, 1932 to Leslie L. and Mary Ruth Patmore in Tacoma, WA. Known and loved by many as Grandma Nancy, she lived a life of selflessness and compassion. Her contagious giggle and infectious smile touched all. One of Nancy's great pleasures in life was totake pictures as they 'told the story.' She also had a love of dolls, books, sewing, travel and genealogy. Her greatest pride was her family and she adored spending time with her granddaughters. Preceded in death by her parents, her husband of 46 years, Gordon Bordeaux, and her sister, Mary Lou Mickelson. She is survived by her loving daughters, Debbie Bordeaux and Karen Eckroth, son-in-laws, Joe and Julio, granddaughters, Brittany and Hailey, and numerous nieces and nephews. A Celebration of Life Memorial will be held at the SeaTac Community Center, 13735 24th Ave S., SeaTac, Saturday March 12, 2011 at 11am. In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to the Alzheimer's Association.To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Joe, Karen, Britt, Hailey, Debbie & Julio-You have been in our hearts all week as we think of all that you have been going through. We have shared alot of tears over the past couple of years over the passing of the parents who mentored us through out our life times. Saying goodbye is never easy and only bearable because we know that they now are in the presence of the Lord with "no more sorrow and no more pain." Celebrate Grandma Nancy's life well because we all know that she lived an exceptional life. Much Love and Many Prayers-Bill and Marina

Joe, Karen, Brit and Hailey, my thoughts are never more than a few moments away from you these days. I know you are running the gamut of emotions as you mourn your mother (grandmothers) passing and then spend hours remembering all the ways she made your life better. What can be a more amazing tribute to the time that a person spends on this earth, than the loved ones they leave behind and the extreme loss that those loved ones feel at the moment of their passing. Nancy filled your lives with love. And I know how proud she was of all of you for the way you pay it forward in your loving way.
love, denice.

You will be in our prayers, our condolence to your family. Nancy has raised a wonderful family and we feel so lucky we were able to get to know her and her daughter Karen & her family. We will miss her next time we go camping with Karen & family.

We want to let you know that your family is in our prayers. We image you may be overwhelmed because you've been dealing with so much lately, and maybe you're wondering (as we all wonder at times in our lives) how things are ever going to work out. And we just wanted to remind you that although life brings many changes, God's love for us remains constant. He's always there, guiding us thorough decisions and helping us to do the hard things always restoring us a sense of hope and peace, no matter what we're facing. And the most beautiful thing about God is that the more we need Him, the closer He is... That's how we know He is especially close to your family now. May God grant you family peace in your time of sorrow.

Just wishing Nancy's family peace from another Nancy (Nancy Elizabeth). I did not know Nancy well but she raised an amazingly loyal daughter in Karen so I know that she was a good mother. Soothing wishes to the family,
