Nancy Combs Obituary

Nancy Marie Combs January 16, 1961-December 7, 2002 Nancy Combs graced our lives with her unique, elegant sense of style and her marvelous sense of humor for far too brief a time. We treasure the memory of a very brave woman who was a wonderful sister, daughter, and friend. Nancy, you left a legacy of incredible courage to our family, especially for your beloved Zoe and little John. Special thanks to: Dr. Coaker and Dr. Modiano, Salpointe Class of 1979. Our gratitude to Dulce at the Dandy Dime Newspaper & to all of Nancy's wonderful friends, especially Sylvia and Lydia. With great love from your sister, Sally Combs, and The Combs Family

I am very sorry to hear of her passing. It is saddening when nice people lose a nice person, and worse when it comes to one so young.

You will meet again. Something (far too long to set out here) happened after my ex died in 2003 that left me convinced of that, and I'm a skeptic.

God Bless you always my beloved Nancy! You gave me more inspiration than anyone I have ever met in my life! You are my guardian angel and I know you have helped me through my struggles in the last two years. I miss you so - but love you more. We lost a great lady! But were blessed by the chance we were given to know her!
