Nancy Ann Haunty

Nancy Ann Haunty passed away peacefully at the age of 46 on May 13, 2016 after a 6-1/2 year battle with metastatic breast cancer. Nancy is survived by her husband, Jake Haunty of Shoreline, WA; her brother, Bill LeBoeuf, Jr. of Sherman Oaks, CA; her mother, Dr. Sally LeBoeuf of Edmonds, WA; and her father, Dr. Bill LeBoeuf of Huntington Beach, CA. Nancy is also survived by a wonderful community of broader family and friends.

Nancy was born on July 24, 1969 in Long Beach, CA. At age 11, she moved to Rogers, Arkansas with her mother, brother, and maternal grandparents. Nancy excelled as a student and as a trumpet player prior to graduating from Rogers High School in 1987. She attended Drury College (Springfield, MO) on a music scholarship, working numerous part-time jobs to help fund her education. Nancy graduated Cum Laude in 1991 with a double major in Economics and Business Administration and a minor in Biology. She continued her education at Washington University (St. Louis, MO) where she earned a Masters in Health Administration. Nancy moved to Seattle in 1994, taking a job in healthcare information technology with PHAMIS, Inc. Nancy's career in healthcare IT spanned 20 successful years before she retired from UW Medicine's Information Technology Services department in 2014 due to her cancer treatment.

Nancy married Jake in Florence, Italy in September, 2001. She was initially diagnosed with breast cancer a year later. Nancy was an amazing combination of courage, compassion, intelligence, love, and faith. The love she shared with Jake was deep and complete. She was the source of Jake's courage and strength during her years-long battle with breast cancer. Nancy's great fortitude was an inspiration to many as she ran two 1/2 marathons and summited Mount Adams with the support of Team Survivor Northwest. Nancy will missed but never forgotten by the multitudes who loved her.

A memorial service to give thanks for Nancy's life will be held at 1:00 pm on June 2 at University Presbyterian Church in Seattle.
