Marsha Nance Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our California Raisin, Marsha Ann Nance, on November 12, 2024 at the age of 75. Marsha was born on December 16, 1948 in Los Angeles, California, to Wallace "Wally" and Ruth (Tilley) Vance.
Marsha was married to Stephan Edward Nance for 54 years and together they had two children. Marsha 'The Dancing Queen' was known to talk to anyone, making friends easily, dancing like no one was watching, baking, but first and foremost, loving her family. She enjoyed her Zumba family at Jerome Recreation, bowling, tennis, and dipping her toes into sandy beaches and smelling the ocean air.
She was preceded in death by her parents Wally and Ruth. Marsha is survived by her husband, Stephan; children, daughter, Cheryl Nance-Dotson (Kelly), sons, James "Shad" Nance (Sarah); and Robert Dagnall; grandchildren, Lyric, Makali, and Adrien; and siblings, Arlene Hannan, Ronald Vance and Arthur Vance.
A celebration of Marsha's life will be held at 4:00 pm, Thursday, November 21, 2024 at Farnsworth Mortuary in Jerome, Idaho.
Memories and condolences may be shared with the family on Marsha's memorial webpage at www.farnsworthmortuary.com.
