Nancy Waldrop, loving wife, mother, grandmother, and community member passed naturally on November 3, 2025, at her home in Lincoln, California. She lived to the age of 93. She was surrounded by loved ones in her final days.
Born in Sacramento, California on November 10, 1931, to Violet Bagley and Cecil Strecker, Nancy embarked on a life journey that would lead to many colorful experiences. Being a military wife would take her overseas for many years, to Spain and Africa, as well as new parts of the United States, very much shaping who she was. Nancy would ultimately return right back home to California where she would stay and continue to raise her family for many years.
Nancy was preceded in death by daughter Barbara, husband William, and sisters Donna and Elizabeth. She is survived by her three children, Michael, Deborah, and Timothy, stepdaughters Michele and Tamara, grandchildren Richard, Cassandra, Shaun, and Ross, great grandchild Britta, brothers Albert and Donald, and sisters Ethel and Rita. Her presence will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
