Eleanor Nance Curtis Booker

She was born to Edward Curtis and his late wife Eleanor, on April 18, 1937, in Glendale, California. She was better known as Nance. She graduated from Lamar High School of Houston in 1955. She raised four children in Houston, and later received a Bachelor's of Science in Education from the University of Houston at Clear Lake in 1982. She went on to serve the State of Texas as a social worker. She also worked for the Red Cross for many of those years as well. She loved to help people and was so well thought of that the Galveston County Commissioner's Court declared Nov. 29 as Eleanor Nance Booker Day at her retirement.

Nance was a member of the Stone Oak Cumberland Presbyterian Church in San Antonio. She loved to visit with family and friends and was content as long as she could still play bridge.

Nance is survived by four children: James Booker, Jr. of Florida; John Booker of Leadville, Colorado; Anne Donahue of Jonestown, Texas; and Barbara Holladay of San Antonio, Texas. She is also survived by 7 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild.
