Nancy Brancheau Obituary

Published by Legacy on Nov. 25, 2025.
Nancy Lee Brancheau of Naperville, IL and Clarkston, MI passed away peacefully on November 21, 2025 at 86 years of age. She is preceded in death by her husband of 57 years, Glenn, her parents Ervin and Blanche Coggins (nee Wimberley), her brothers Millard and Robert Squire, and her sister Marcie Tucker; and is the beloved mother of Thomas (Lisa) Brancheau, David (Julie) Brancheau, Mark (Jennifer) Brancheau and Karen (Chris) James; grandmother of twelve: Vanesa, Ryan, Rachel, Dillon, Erin, Gabrielle, Caroline, Lillian, Daniel, Andrew, Jack and Olivia; and great-grandmother of two: Lydia and Holly.

Nancy's early years shaped her to be a woman of faith, family, and generosity. To know Nancy was to be included in her warm and joyous embrace. Whether hosting family birthday parties, holiday gatherings, or even Dance-a-licious revues, Nancy was always the life of the party; the hostess with too much food; and the source of an overflowing generosity of spirit. It all flowed from her faith in God's amazing grace for her in Jesus. She will be dearly missed.

Services will take place Monday December 1, 2025 at Ottawa Park Cemetery, 6180 Dixie Hwy, Clarkston, MI with visitation beginning at 10am and the funeral at 11:30am.
