Right after high school, she enlisted in the U.S. Navy. She completed basic training at the U.S. Naval Training Center, Recruit Training Command, Bainbridge, MD in September 1969. She proudly served for several more years before being honorably discharged in 1972. In 1997, she achieved her lifelong dream of becoming a nurse and earned her BSN from Avila College. Nancy worked in the profession she loved until she medically retired in September of this year.
She is preceded in death by her parents, and her brother, Wes Evans, Jr. The family would like to extend our deepest thanks to the doctors, nurses, caregivers and support teams for everything they did to provide care, comfort and guidance through this difficult time. In this spirit, the family is requesting that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Nancy’s honor to the American Cancer Society and/or the KC Hospice and Palliative Care Center.
Services and celebration of life will be held a later time.
