Soon after marriage they decided to expand their family and did so by having 3 baby boys. Pablo Jr the oldest born in 1977, Carlos who was born in 1979 and Miguel in 1981, soon after they moved their family to California for some years. Nancy and Pablo decided it was time to go back home and settled down in Longmont, CO. where Nancy enjoyed being a stay at home mom and dotting wife. As the boys grew older Nancy did some odd end jobs until finding her calling working for the Boulder county courthouse.

Nancy’s adult life was filled with raising her 3 boys, being a loving wife to Pablo, a nurturing daughter and a party animal haha. For those of you who knew Nancy knew she was always the life of the party, she took joy in serving others and hosting events.
