Nancy Jean Galletta

Nancy received a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Sociology in 1970. She was invited to live in the Honor Dorm and was on the Dean's list. Getting a good education was important to her. She received her real estate agent's license in 1970 and her Broker's license in 1971.

She had a lifelong, successful career in real estate ownership and management, in addition to investing in stocks and paper assets. She was able to buy, add onto, and completely remodel her dream home in Highland Park on Beverly Drive. Achieving this dream brought her immense pleasure; having been in real estate her entire life, her home was very important to her. In addition to building 6 duplexes and managing her real estate and investments, she also owned part of a travel agency, part of a high-profile Dallas restaurant, and part of a hot air balloon company at various times. She had a very interesting and rewarding career due to the role her father, James Galletta, played in her life. He was the best of everything: her dad, business partner, confidant, best friend, role model, benefactor, and total rock. He truly was a real, live superhero and the most amazing person, always there to help everyone in every way possible. He was a saint.

Her true hobby was travel. She took several two-month trips, including to China and Hong Kong, Europe, Hawaii, the Caribbean, and Costa Rica, as well as two two-month trips to Africa to experience both photographic and hunting safaris. These were in addition to many other worldwide trips, including 10 visits to her beloved Paris. She loved traveling to different countries to experience their way of life. She also loved all animals, especially her beloved dogs: Prissy, Spookie, Baby Ruth, Axel, and Tiger. She successfully accomplished Tony Robbins' famous Firewalk, proving to herself that you can do what you think is impossible. She enjoyed friendships with many people across the world who enriched her life immeasurably, and she thanked them all for their treasured friendships.

There will not be a funeral service or a Celebration of Life. She wished to be cremated and have her ashes placed in her father's casket in the Mausoleum. (Mother's and Brother's names have been omitted on purpose).
