Nancy was the beloved wife of Dennis Clemens and a devoted mother to Jennifer Anselmo, Sheryl Anselmo, Mona Chandler, and Sean Clemens. Her greatest joy in life was her family, and she treasured every moment spent with them.
She leaves behind her cherished grandchildren: Jose Rodriguez, Corrina Dennett, Raymond Anselmo, Jasmine Taylor, Christian Anselmo, Katie Burpee, Jillian Burpee, Brandon Chandler, Brodie Clemens, and Cassidy Dunay.
She was also blessed with nine great-grandchildren: Isaiah Torres, Logan Rodriguez, Kehlani Rodriguez, Joseph Dennett, Elijah Dennett, Logan Chandler, Parker Chandler, Daniel Dunay, and the upcoming arrival of Naya Dennett, whom she already loved so dearly.
Nancy is also survived by her loving siblings, Connie Hewitt, Ronna Albonetti, and Brent Hensley, along with many extended family members and dear friends who will miss her deeply.
After a dedicated career with Pacific Gas & Electric, Nancy enjoyed retirement doing the things that brought her joy. She loved snowmobiling, square dancing, cheering on her beloved San Francisco 49ers, and, above all else, spending time with her family. She also loved trying her luck at the slot machines whenever she had the chance, always hoping the next spin would be the lucky one. Nancy had an incredible eye for a good bargain and could never resist a shopping trip. Whether she was browsing the aisles at Kohl's or JCPenney or searching Amazon for the perfect find, she delighted in finding great deals and loved sharing her treasures with family and friends.
Nancy will be remembered as one of the strongest women those who knew her ever had the privilege of loving. She was determined, resilient, and yes, sometimes stubborn, but that same stubbornness became one of her greatest strengths. Even as Parkinson's disease slowly took away her voice, it never took away her spirit. She faced each challenge with remarkable courage and refused to give up. Her quiet strength spoke louder than words ever could.
Though our hearts are broken, we are grateful for the years, the memories, the laughter, and the unconditional love she gave so freely. Her legacy lives on in her husband, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and in everyone fortunate enough to have known and loved her.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. at Palm Valley Church, 431 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear, AZ 85338.
The family welcomes all who knew and loved Nancy to join them in celebrating a life filled with strength, love, laughter, and unwavering devotion to family.
