Nancy Helen Himmelbrand Harris

Nancy passed away on October 23, 2024, at 8:54 p.m., venturing to her final frontier, where she joins her beloved mother, Alice; her brothers, Eddie and Lee; and her daughter, Alyson, among the stars.

Nancy had a warm and welcoming heart, offering comfort and guidance to all who needed it. Affectionately known as “Mom” by many, she brought light and kindness into every life she touched. Her home was always open, with coffee brewing and deep conversations flowing, and she never hesitated to offer support to those who needed it most. Known for hosting lively gatherings, Nancy celebrated life’s moments with joy and generosity. She loved baking, often sharing her homemade bread with neighbors and friends, adding a small touch of kindness to their days—one of the many ways she brightened the lives of those around her. She had a remarkable gift for making everyone feel at home and loved, whether through her laughter, thoughtful words, or simple acts of kindness. Her kindness, compassion, and quiet strength left an unforgettable mark on all who knew her.

Nancy is deeply missed by her daughter Samantha, grandson Julian, and many cherished family members and friends. Her presence remains a beacon of love and light for all who carry her memory.

A celebration of Life service will be held at a later date.
