Nancy G. Gonzales, 76, of Largo, Florida, passed away on Saturday, October 24, 2026. A kind and loving soul, Nancy will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Born on October 4, 1950, in Leesburg, Florida, Nancy was the daughter of the late William and Kathleen Girtman. She graduated from Leesburg High School and went on to attend Andrew College in Cuthbert, Georgia. Following college, she began her career at Florida Power Corporation, where she met her future husband, Rick McCollum. A devoted mother, Nancy poured her heart into raising her two children, Kristin and Philip, before returning to the workforce as they grew older.

Nancy later began a dedicated second career in municipal government, serving residents in the City of Seminole before joining the Town of Indian Shores as Town Clerk. In 2005, she became the City Manager of Belleair Beach, a role she held with pride for 12 years. Throughout her tenure, she oversaw several major coastal projects and became a trusted, welcoming friend to residents across the community.

During her years in Belleair Beach, Nancy met Henry Gonzalez. The two fell in love, married, and shared a spirit of adventure and travel, enjoying several memorable trips to Europe together before his passing in 2021.

In addition to her parents, William and Kathleen Girtman, Nancy was preceded in death by her husbands, Rick McCollum and Henry Gonzalez.

She is lovingly remembered and survived by her brother, William D. Girtman (wife Sue) of New Port Richey; her daughter, Kristin McCollum of St. Petersburg; her son, Philip McCollum (wife Marissa) of Clearwater; and her five cherished grandchildren, Jordan, Dylan, Molly, Maryn, and Maggie.
