Nancy Hobright Obituary

Hobright, Nancy A.

Nancy Ann Hobright, age 70, of Stevens Point, WI died at home on November 6, 2017.

She was born in Lima Ohio on Dec. 24, 1946 to Waldo Don Fetter and Mary Grace Fetter. Nancy attended School in Lima, Ohio and graduated in 1964.

Nancy always dreamed of becoming a nurse, but ended up finding her life passion in the Food and Beverage Industry. Although she spent time working at several other facilities, her main accomplishment was at Zenoff's Holiday Inn and Convention Center in Stevens Point. After more than 25 years of dedication, she retired as the General Manager. Nancy went on to become a caregiver for her Mother, Husband and a part time caregiver to a wonderful man with Cerebral Palsy.

She married the love of her life, Bruce Hobright, on May 18, 1979 in Stevens Point, WI

Nancy was a powerhouse of talent, she was a genius in the kitchen, was passionate about gardening, and had the most amazing ability to create a beautiful home with impeccable style and taste.

She is survived by her mother, Mary Grace Fetter of Waupaca; brothers, Dennis Fetter and George Fetter both of Chico, CA; children, Michael Todd (Anna) Bowholtz of Stevens Point, Tracy (Randy) Carey of Waupaca, Bruce Jr. (Courtney) Hobright of Stevens Point, Melissa (Robert) Peterson of Amherst, and Matthew (Robyn) Bowholtz of Stevens Point. She is also survived by her beloved grandchildren, Jackson Bowholtz of Stevens Point, Grace Walkoe of Waupaca, Margaret Walkoe of Colorado Springs, CO., Ryan Walkoe of White Fish, MT, Hannah Carey-Brown of Waupaca, Joshua (Michelle) Carey-Brown of Stevens Point, Tyler Hobright of Stevens Point, Olivia Hobright of Stevens Point, Julian (Nicole) Fitzgerald of Neenah, Tyler Peterson of Little Chute, Jesse Peterson of Amherst, Gabrielle Peterson of Amherst, Dustin Bowholtz of La Crosse, and Kristin (Tyler) Faretta of Stevens Point; great grandchildren, Riley Fitzgerald, Axel Bowholtz, and Nevaeh Peterson; and extended family members.

She is preceded in death by her father, Waldo Don Fetter and beloved husband, Bruce Hobright.

While Nancy's death was very unexpected; god took her peacefully from us in the beautiful home that her and our father built on Mill Creek. Words cannot describe the complete devastation that her entire family is feeling knowing we won't be able to see her, laugh with her, put our arms around her, or share our lives with her. Some people say that she died of a broken heart because she lost our father, the love of her life almost 3 years ago to the day. We hope that her family and friends can take comfort knowing that Bruce and God have their arms around her now and that her beautiful kind heart is no longer hurting!

Nancy, Mom, Nanna: "we love you so much"! The pain that we are all feeling is our hearts breaking because you are gone, we will live with all the wonderful memories of you every day!

Until we see you again sweet lady! LULA!

"Many women do noble things, but you surpassed them all!" - Proverbs 31: 10 and 25-31

A Memorial Service to celebrate her life will be held 3:00 p.m., Saturday, November 25, 2017 at Boston Funeral Home with Pastor Dwight Anderson from Peace Lutheran Church, Amherst, WI presiding. A time of Visitation will precede on Saturday from 1:00 p.m. until the time of service.
