Nancy Rose Galate

Nancy Rose Galate, 76, passed away on February 11, 2026. Nancy was born on March 25, 1949, in Kansas City, MO, the first-born to Joseph and Maria Galate. She graduated from Glennon High School and achieved a level of Junior College. She began working for TWA Airlines, continuing when it became American Airlines, retiring after decades of service.

Nancy was known in her family for her award-winning pie crust skills. She was an excellent bowler in her day, having once competed on the local “Bowling For Dollars” program in the 1970s on Channel 9. She was excellent at sewing and crafts with a needle, from making clothes to various other sewing projects from a pattern or her own design. She was a Christian and had a firm belief in her faith in the Lord.

Nancy is preceded in death by her father and mother, Joseph Galate and Maria (Rott) Galate.

Nancy is survived by five sisters and two brothers.
