Nancy Lou West, 72, passed away Saturday, March 28, 2026, at Rainbow Hospice Inpatient Center.

Nancy was born November 16, 1953, to Lester Zwieg Sr. and Irene (Schliewe) Zwieg in Watertown, WI. She attended St. Mark's Grade School and graduated in 1972 from Watertown High School. On September 30, 1972, Nancy married Steven D. West at St. Mark's Lutheran Church. They were blessed with one son, Tony.

Nancy provided childcare for 20 years at her home, nurturing many of her nieces and nephews during that time. She later worked at the Oconomowoc YMCA and then for the Watertown School District until her retirement.

Nancy enjoyed a good bingo game at the Watertown Senior Center, trips to the casino, and making delicious tortes.

Nancy is survived by her husband, Steve; son, Tony (Jaysha); and their sons, Hunter, Cohen, and Mason. She is also survived by her brothers: Lester Jr., Ronald (Joyce), Gary, and Michael Zwieg; sisters: Darlene (Robert) Klecker, Marcia (Dale) Wruck, Sally (Steven) Heiser, Annette (Larry) Kuehn, and Peggy Hisel; aunts; an uncle; and many nieces, nephews, in-laws, and other relatives.

She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Terrace and Robert; sister-in-law, Susan Zwieg; niece, Nichole Zwieg; nephew, Chad R. Zwieg; and her parents-in-law.

The family would like to thank the staff at Watertown Hospital and Rainbow Hospice for their frequent and attentive care of Nancy.
