Nancy Kelnhofer Obituary

In Loving Memory Of Nancy Ann Kelnhofer February 25, 1962 - May 11th, 2025 Nancy was born on February 25, 1962 (nee Thomas) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She was peacefully welcomed into Heaven on May 11th, 2025 in Peoria, Arizona at the age of 63. Nancy is preceded in death by her father, Clifford Thomas; and Blizzard Blu, her loyal companion. She is survived by her loving husband, Mark; her mother, Barbara Thomas; brothers, Dale (Young) Thomas, and Keith Thomas; and sisters, Doreen (Charles) Griese, and Teri Zeren. She is also survived by nephews and nieces, and many other family and friends. Nancy found tremendous joy in spending time with family and friends, and found joy in cooking, baking, and traveling. Some days, she also found joy in just relaxing and watching some of her favorite shows and movies. She also was an avid sports fan. Nancy's smile and laughter always brightened those around her. May Nancy's memory live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. She will be greatly missed. May she rest in peace. A Memorial Service will be held from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, Friday, June 13, 2025 at Regency Mortuary, 9850 W. Thunderbird Blvd., Sun City, AZ.

You will be missed Nancy. Although we were new friends, it seemed like we had been friends forever. You made me laugh; you were always there to help and I will never forget our "get to know you lunch" that went on for hours. We planned our next but never had a chance to meet. I am thankful your pain is gone but I sure do miss you. My heart goes out to Mark and the rest of your family. Rest in Peace my dear friend.

We are very saddened to hear of the loss of Nancy. I didn't have the honour of meeting Nancy in person, but got to know her online and through the exchange of cards. She phoned me once to ask for our address because she'd forgotten to give our daughters, her cousins, earrings that she had for them during one of their visits to Wisconsin. Just one of many examples of Nancy's kindness and thoughtfulness. Sincere condolences to all who knew and loved Nancy. Heaven has gained an angel.
