Nancy Diania Cockrill, age 68, passed away on November 22, 2020. Nancy was born on July 17, 1952 in Marysville, CA.
Nancy was a loving daughter, sister, wife (of 47 years to Howard Cockrill), mother (to Timothy and Amy Cockrill), and grandmother (to Alexander Lopez). Nancy and her husband, Howard, raised their family in Kansas City, MO.
Nancy and Howard attended Salvation Army Officer Training School in Chicago, IL. She remained a devoted member of the Salvation Army her entire life.
No matter what challenges life threw her way, Nancy always remained positive, keeping a complete faith in God and that everything was in His hands.
She was always quick to make friends. And always ready with a story to brag about her kids and grandson – always their biggest fan and supporter.
Nancy’s first concern was always the well-being of her loved ones. Always ready to take care of them and make sure they were well fed. An amazing cook, but never wrote recipes down because she “never made it the same way twice”.
Nancy’s greatest joy was spending time with family – whether it be gathering for a holiday, sharing a meal, watching a game, or just being outside chatting while she rocked in her swing.
She was greatly loved and will be missed by many.
Memorial services will take place on Mother’s Day weekend, 2021
