Born on May 14, 1965, in Denver, Colorado, Nancy was the beloved daughter of Elsie Colangelo (England) and Ben Colangelo. She graduated from Coronado High School in 1983.

of her family.
Nancy's disability never defined her-her joyful spirit, positivity, and kindness shone through in all aspects of her life. While she had no children of her own, she cherished all of her nieces and nephews, showering them with love as if they were her own.
Family was Nancy's greatest joy. She found happiness in cooking and sharing meals with loved ones. Her home was filled with warmth, laughter, and her favorite Disney character, Mickey Mouse.
Nancy is survived by her devoted partner of 30 years, Donald Archuleta; her mother, Elsie England; stepfather, John England; siblings Yvonne (Enrique), Benjo, Manual (Makayla), Wanda (Geno), Louis (Yolanda), and Carol (Neil); and stepbrother Frankie (Karen).
She is preceded in death by her father, Ben Colangelo; grandparents Benina and Gaetano Colangelo, Cipriano Montoya, and Ida and Lee Bowman; sister-in-law Brenda Trujillo; nephew Carlos Colangelo; niece Crystal Colangelo; and numerous aunts and uncles.
Nancy brought light into the lives of everyone she met. She will be deeply missed but forever remembered as a shining star, continuing to watch over those she loved.
A Memorial Service will be held on., 2025, at in Trinidad, Colorado, at.. N. Trinidad, Colorado. (TBD)
POEM: The day God took you home:
You never said I'm leaving, you never said Goodbye, you were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why, In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still, In my heart, I hold a place that only you can fill, It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn't
go alone. A part of me went with you.
