Nancy Scott Weinert

The daughter of Fred Aubrey Scott and Kire Cruz Scott, Nancy was born in her parents' hometown of Rosebud, Texas on the 13th of October 1943. Nancy spent most of her childhood in Midland, Texas, where she graduated from Midland High School in 1961. Following graduation, she attended Trinity University in San Antonio for one year, transferring to the University of Texas at Austin where she completed her degree. While there, she was an active member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, an editor of the Cactus yearbook and earned her airplane pilot's license. During her Junior year, she met and married her best friend and roommate's brother, Kirk Weinert. Following their wedding in 1965, they moved to Alexandria, Virginia where she discovered her love of cooking and for animals. She was well known for putting on a Tex-Mex feast for her new East Coast friends. She was a dedicated volunteer at the Friends of the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., being honored for her work by having a seal named 'Nancy' after her.

In 1970, the family moved back to Texas to Houston, where Nancy continued her love of community involvement, serving as a docent at the Bayou Bend Collection for 20 years, President of the Tanglewood Garden Club and President of the Kappa Kappa Gamma Houston Alumni Association. Nancy was a dedicated mother to Scott and Andrea, engaging in their school communities both at St. Francis Episcopal School and The Kinkaid School. Nancy loved to be with her dear friends from the Fabulous Needlepoint Group and enjoyed hosting friends and family at her second home at Lake Buchanan where her lifelong passion for cooking was always on full display.

Nancy was predeceased by her parents, Fred Aubrey "Scotty" Scott and Kire Cruz Scott, and her brother, Michael A. Scott. She is survived by her husband of 55 years, Kirk W. Weinert, her son, Scott W. Weinert of Dallas and his wife, Tina G. Weinert, her daughter, Andrea W. Falkin, of Austin and her husband, Mark G. Falkin, and two granddaughters, Estelle 'Stella' K. Falkin and Elizabeth S.
