Nancy B. Justus age 88, passed away November 29, 2021 at her home on St. Pete Beach, FL. She was born October 10, 1933 in Tampa, FL to William and Alma Bartlett. She graduated from Florida State University and was a member of Alpha Delta Pi Sorority. She taught school in Hillsborough County for 21 years. She was preceded in death by her husband, Howard B. Justus and her brothers, William Bartlett and Charles Bartlett. Her survivors include daughters, Katharine Hix, Susan (Larry) Jones, Debra Justus and Peggy (James) Stents; sons, Douglas (Karen) Magann, Stephen Magann, and Robert (Patty) Magann; 13 grandchildren, Jill (Terry) Conlin, Andy (Connie) Romano, Joshua Magann, Christopher Magann, Jordan Magann, Karyssa (Andrew) Heine, Dylan Magann, Shiloh Magann, Scott (Katie) Foley, Justin Jones, Matthew Jones, Alex (Amy) Stentz, Molly Stentz and eight great-grandchildren.
She had many groups of friends that just adored her. She had her high school friends in Tampa (amazing at 88), still getting together every few months. She had her bridge friends in St Pete. She absolutely loved playing cards and loved the competition. She had all her Condo friends, many that did not live here year round, but they all loved her and keep in touch. She has touched many hearts. She loved her family and would do anything for them, she was their Rock. Loved the holiday gatherings and would cook for days, always enough to feed an army. She will be deeply missed, always loved and carried in our hearts forever.
Following the service her children would like to invite family and friends to join them in a Celebration of Life at her condo club house, 6595 Sunset Way, St Pete Beach.
I don’t have the perfect words but I think this video will explain who the world will now be missing.
Nanny you were a special gift to all of us.
Who’s going to serve momma 60 year old liquor and laugh this hard~ who’s going to tell me to wear lipstick ~ who’s going to gift me lingerie for Christmas ~ who’s going to buy the boys crystal candy dishes~ who’s going to yell at the tv during sporting games~ who’s going to fight everyone on politics ~ who’s going to cook gourmet meals for our family ~ who’s going to stay up all night playing cards~ who’s going to shop Dillards sales racks with me ~ who’s going to keep us together 💜
You are irreplaceable but I’m at peace knowing you’re with grandpa (probably serving him a giant bowl of cereal with fruit on top with a fiber bar on the side)🙏
