Nancy E. Casavantes

Nancy Elliott Casavantes, 92, passed away peacefully at home in the company of family on January 10, 2022. Among the condolence messages we have received the common theme was “She was the nicest person I knew.” And she was a kind, caring, loving, thoughtful and nurturing woman.

She was a registered nurse in Portland, Oregon and a certified registered nurse anesthetist. She and her husband raised seven children and she loved caring for her family, birds, plants and garden.

Nancy, the daughter of William and Dorothy Elliott was born May 15, 1929, and was married for 52 years to her husband, Dr. Louis Casavantes. She had seven children, seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Dr. Louis Casavantes, daughter Angela Casavantes Wells, and sisters Dorothy Jimerson and Carol Elliott.

She is survived by her children, Mark, David, Rita, Lucy, Judy and Ellen who all loved her very much. The love she shared with us has become a part of who we are. Thank you Mom for so many beautiful years with you. You are deeply loved and will be sorely missed.
