Nancy Ruth Jordan Bachofer

Nancy Ruth Jordan Bachofer, 77, of Birmingham, AL, was called home by her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on February 7, 2019. She was born on November 5, 1941 in Birmingham to Russell James Jordan and Alma Beech Jordan. Nancy accepted Christ as her personal Lord and Savior at age 8 at Central Park Baptist Church with Reverend John Bob Riddle as her pastor. She was graduated from Fairfield High School in Birmingham, AL in 1961. Nancy had a lifelong career in retail, including managing Casual Corner, The Side Door at Parisians, and was most recently a stylist at The Clothes Tree by Deborah, for 18 years, where she was made a member of their family. Nancy was truly a woman of faith and passionate about her home church, Briarwood Presbyterian Church PCA. She was a member of the Deeper Life Sunday School class. She had a beautiful solo voice and was a member of the choir at Briarwood. At one point in time, Nancy had her own music ministry. Her favorite Bible verse was Philippians 4:6-7 "Be anxious about nothing, but with prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God and the peace of God that passes all understanding will be yours in Christ Jesus." Nancy was also a member of "Caldwell Cuties", her neighborhood girls' group. She also enjoyed ballroom dancing with her husband Ed. Nancy will always be remembered for her beautiful smile and voice, her laughter, and her eternal love for her family.

She was preceded in passing by her parents; her brother Russell Wayne Jordan; and her previous spouse Lawrence Brown Sheffield Jr. Nancy is survived by her husband Dr. Edward V. Bachofer; the father of her children Tully Richmond Burch Jr.; her children Tully Richmond "Rick" Burch III (Riza) and Clem Douglas Burch (Angela); her grandchildren Nicholas Jordan Burch (Mallory) and Amanda Burch Neece (Derek); and her great-granddaughter Demi Lee Neece.
