Nancy Joan Howk age 58 passed into God's loving hands on November 23, 2024 after a long illness.

Nancy was born September 29, 1966 in Idaho Falls, Idaho. She is the youngest in a family of seven children and grew up in the town of Broomfield, Colorado.

Nancy graduated Broomfield high school and attended Metro Community College.

On May 15, 1997 Nancy married Stephen Floyd Wilson in Lahaina Maui, Hawaii. Nancy worked full time raising four children while working part time at City of Westminster Recreation Center, Macy's, and Home Depot. 

Nancy dearly loves her children, family and cat. Her sense of humor, love of scary movies, sweet personality and occasional gossip are familiar to everyone around her.

She never met a stranger and could learn your life story all while checking you out at the Home Depot service counter. Her infectious smile and laughter will always be in our minds, and her faith in God and his plan for our lives is a treasure beyond measure.

Nancy is survived by her husband Stephen, and four children: Julianna, Cecilia, Stirling, and Layton; her father, John Howk, brothers Tim, Phil, and Mike, and sisters, Monica and Patti.

Nancy was preceded in death by her mother Lois and sister Collette.

A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, April 13th at 1:00pm at the Horan & McConaty Thornton Chapel, followed by refreshments.
