Nancy L. Wardlow

Nancy L. Wardlow (Cooke) May 25, 1935 - February 17, 2007 Went home to Our Lord after a hard-fought battle with pancreatic cancer. She died peacefully at home in the city that she adored surrounded by her loving family. Born in West Virginia; Nancy lived and raised her family throughout the United States during her life including Nebraska, Alaska, Illinois, New Mexico, Virginia, Texas, Florida, Kansas and Missouri. While living in these many places Nancy never met a stranger. She moved to San Francisco in 2001, a city she fell in love with on her first visit in 1964, and enjoyed every moment of her time here. Nancy was predeceased by her loving husband Duane. She was a wonderful mother and is survived by her three children: Michael and wife Sarah; Victoria; and Thomas and partner, Brad Crawford; five well-loved grandchildren: Heather and husband Matthew; Lauren; Melissa; Francisco; and Joey; great granddaughters, Savannah and Shelby; brother, Edward and sister, Hattie; many beloved nieces and nephews and countless friends. Nancy loved and respected people regardless of their own situations in life and set an incredible example of kindness and compassion - truly living by the Golden Rule. She also had the most marvelous sense of the joy of life and fun that affected everyone she touched during her life.
