Nancy Caroline Hickey

Nancy Caroline Hickey (Hennig) passed away May 23, 2012 at St. Helena Hospital. Born in San Francisco on August 9, 1938, Nancy grew up in Willows CA, and graduated from Sacramento State University in 1960. A longtime resident of Clearlake CA, she was an elementary school teacher for 28 years and taught at Burns Valley and Pomo Elementary schools in the Konocti Unified School District. Nancy embodied the art of teaching in all aspects of her life. From the students in her classroom and at the piano, to the lessons in strength and perseverance she taught her friends and family, she touched and enriched many lives. She was preceded in death by her parents Dr. Lloyd R. Hennig and Vera Hennig (Johnson), and her sister Susan Dana (Hennig). She is survived by her brother Jim Hennig and sister-in-law Sue Hinshaw of Longview WA, son James Hickey and daughter-in-law Elena Hickey of Davis CA, son Robert Hickey and daughter-in law Jessica Hickey of Seattle WA, son Daniel Hickey and daughter-in law Shelly Hickey of Dallas TX, daughter Elizabeth Dickson (Hickey) and son-in-law Jeff Dickson of Rio Rancho NM, and 8 grandchildren. A celebration of her life will be held later in the summer when more people can attend. In lieu of any flowers or gifts, donations may be made to the American Cancer Society.
