Nancy F. Jentzsch

Nancy F. Jentzsch, beloved mother and grandmother, died November 11, 2015. She was born August 2, 1943 in Phoenix, Arizona to Reed and Dorothea Ferrill, both of whom preceded her in death. Nancy received her teaching degree from Cornell College in Iowa prior to beginning a 30 year career with District 60 as an educator and technology coordinator. After her retirement from the District she taught at schools in the Denver area before returning to Pueblo where she provided technology support for The McClelland School and the GOAL Academy. She was a Mac enthusiast and an accomplished gardener. Her irises were a source of beauty and joy for her family and neighbors. She had a big heart and nearly boundless energy. Nancy was involved in several organizations, including Delta Kappa Gamma and the Pueblo Choral Society. She was a founding board member of the TIE (Technology In Education) conference held annually in Snowmass and a past President of the Board of the YWCA. She was also a recipient of the Outstanding Woman Award through the Pueblo City/County Library District for her service to our community. Nancy’s husband of 44 years, Robert Jentzsch, preceded her in death as did her sister, Mary Ferrill. She is survived by her children Kathy (Danny) Santersero, Mary (Roger) Ruff, and Bob Jentzsch; brothers Reed (Judy), Charlie (Kathy) and David (Marlys) Ferrill; grandchildren Karl, Rob, Daniel, Kayla, Nicholas, Nina, Samuel and Katie as well as numerous special nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. A Memorial service and reception will be held Tuesday November 17th at 1:00 pm at Ascension Episcopal Church. Inurnment at Imperial Memorial Gardens will take place at a later date. When we remember the remarkable woman she was, we can all say, “She worked hard, loved much and always strove to do her best. Sitting was not an option”.
