Nancy Lee Pasho, 91, formerly of Tamaqua  PA, passed away on February 11, 2026, in Nebraska. She was the loving wife of the late George Pasho, Jr.

Born on September 28, 1934, in Coaldale, she was the daughter of the late Lester and Esther (Mertz) Frey. A proud graduate of Tamaqua Area High School, Class of 1953, Nancy dedicated many years of her life to hard work and service. She was employed as a waitress at several local establishments, including Scrafford's, Swiss Chalet, and Smith's Country Inn, and also contributed her talents to the textile industry.

Nancy was an active member of St. John XXIII Parish in Tamaqua and the Milford Senior Center. Her passion for entertaining was well known among her family and friends, as she particularly loved hosting her annual Super Bowl parties. Nancy also cherished visits to wineries in upstate New York and enjoyed music in the park. Known for her exceptional culinary skills, she made an amazing cheesecake that was a favorite at family gatherings. Her love for cleanliness was apparent, as she took pride in maintaining her home and would often be seen blowing leaves off her driveway every morning.

She is survived by her children, Glenn, husband of Marianne Pasho, and Nancy, wife of Greg Gerber. Her legacy continues through her beloved grandchildren: Tara Tolbert and her husband Tommy, Michael Gerber, Vincent Pasho and his wife Alicia, Bryant Pasho and his wife Angela, and Denette Heerlein and her husband Eric.
