Nancy Jean Kolle, 93, passed away on Thursday, August 24, 2023. Nancy was born on January 30, 1930, in Chicago, Illinois to Anton Joseph Mattes and Evelyn A. (Falbisaner) Mattes.
Nancy was a fun- loving person who never met a stranger, she was a “people person.” Nancy had a passion for painting oils on canvas. Her art will live on through her family.

In addition to her love of people, all animals found a place in her heart. Her laugh and the love for her family will be greatly missed.
