Nancy Brown Obituary

Nancy Louise Brown
April 29, 1941 ~ September 2, 2015
Nancy Louise Brown of Boise, Idaho passed away on September 2, 2015 due to cancer at the age of 74. She was predeceased by Vernon Rogers (father) and Irene Musgrave (mother) and is survived by Barbara Jarvi (sister; children Jeffrey Jarvi and Kassandra Jarvi) and Randall Brown (son; wife Jackie Skala Brown; children Kincade Brown and Jordan Brown).
Nancy was one of the first ever graduates of the ground-breaking and prestigious Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Program at the University of Colorado. During her career as a public health nurse with the Ada County Central District Health Department, she devoted herself tirelessly to the care of and advocacy for special needs children and poor and underserved families.
She thrived on gardening, volunteering with the Assistance League, activity with her spiritual community at Summit Church, and, perhaps most of all, Lexi, her Jack Russell Terrier. She was a fiercely loyal and caring friend, daughter, sister, grandmother, and mother who deeply touched many lives with her compassion, generosity, and humor.
Nancy's remains will be buried with her father's at Cloverdale Cemetery in Boise. A celebration of Nancy's life is planned for Saturday, October 24 at Cloverdale Funeral Home, details forthcoming.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Nancy's illness and passing. I have very fond memories of working with Nancy at the health department years ago. She was a great public health nurse, co-worker, and friend. I will always remember her and her wonderful sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers go out to Randy and family.
