Nancy Jo Bohe (age 87) journeyed on to be with The Lord on May 12, 2022 from her home at Columbine Manor, Salida with a dear friend by her side.
Nancy was born on January 13, 1935 to Norman & Grace Sandberg, and older brother Albert, in Buelah Colorado. Most of Nan's childhood years were spent in Arvada Colorado where she graduated from
Arvada High in 1953. She was the Honor Queen of Jobs Daughter (Eastern Star) in 1952.
After high school Nancy began working for a trucking firm and attending Colorado University in Boulder for journalism. Nancy married Joseph M. Bohe in 1956 and raised three children. She worked various
jobs with the local school district while her kids were young, so she'd be home after school and summer breaks. Nan finished her working career with Leprino Cheese company in the Denver area.
Nancy and her husband were able to travel world-wide; and she always kept wonderfully detailed travel journals of their adventures. They chose to retire to the Nathrop/Buena Vista area in 1990.
Nancy was involved with her church, the Optimist Club, the Ark Valley Car Club, mentoring programs,
Habitat for Humanity (local, state, and international); and most importantly her grandchildren and great grandchildren. As a couple, Nancy and her husband were given the Citizen of the Year award in 2013
from the Optimists; highlighting their years of giving to the community.
Nancy enjoyed staying active and regretted when she had to slow down from congestive heart concerns. Nancy's husband of almost sixty years passed in 2015 and Nan had to give up independent living in 2018 when she moved to Columbine Manor in Salida. Nancy moved to Life Care Center in Westminster in
2019 to be closer to her son and his family. Nan moved back to Columbine Manor in December 2021
because she wanted to be with her daughter, church, and friends for a little bit longer.
Nancy was preceded in death by her parents, brother, and dear husband.
Nancy is survived in death by her eldest son Stephen (Allie) in California/ her son Joseph G. in
Westminster, Co./ his son Joseph M. (Jacki), great grandchildren Joey & Jacey in Thornton, Co./ his
daughter Stephanie (Noah) great grandchildren Harmony, Greyson, and Fenriss in Johnstown, Co./her daughter Debora (Mike) in Buena Vista/her daughter Brandy, great granddaughter Ravyn in Henderson, Co. Nancy is also survived by several nieces, nephews, and cousins that she dearly loved and adored.
There will be family visitation at Crown Hill, Wheat Ridge Co. on May 24th at 9:00 a.m. with graveside
services to follow at the Arvada Cemetery at 11:00 a.IT.I. The family will be scheduling a memorial service in Buena Vista mid-July. The date and time will be posted later.
In lieu of flowers Nancy requested that you perform an occasional act of kindness -think of Nan -and smile!
