Nancy Joan Jorgensen, born on July 8, 1934, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, passed away peacefully on February 2, 2025, at Mercy Hospital. She was a beloved member of her community and cherished by her family and friends.

Nancy was devoted to her family and took immense pride in her children, Cheryl Salamanca and Jeffrey Jorgensen, her grandchildren, Nicholss (Sarah), Cristina, and Michael (Shauna) Salamanca, and her great-grandchildren, Emilio and Elena Salamanca. Her home was a reflection of her creativity and spirit, with Nancy often stating that her proudest accomplishments included her home decorating and the love and guidance she provided to her family.
