Nancy was born on August 31, 1970, in Houston, Texas at St. Joseph’s Hospital to Alice and Tony Jostandt.
She graduated from Kingwood High School and attended several colleges in Texas, Hawaii, and California earning an associate degree. Nancy became a manager at Rodeo Cantina when she met Bill, a manager at Gordon Biersch. Both restaurants were in Aloha Tower, in Honolulu, Hawaii. They started dating in 1997 and moved to Las Vegas in 1998 for two years. They then moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee for six months, and eventually moved to Novato, California in the San Francisco Bay Area. They were married in the San Francisco Bay, aboard the yacht Avalon, on May 26, 2001. In November 2006, they moved to The Woodlands, Texas.
When Vivian was born, she became Nancy’s entire world and Nancy decided to be a stay-at-home mom. She also became active in her community. She presided as President of The Mothers of The Woodlands where she formed many strong and lasting friendships. Nancy was so generous with her time and volunteered for numerous positions at Vivian’s preschool, elementary, and intermediate school serving on the Parent Teacher Organization. In addition, she joined the Junior League of The Woodlands to serve her community in a larger capacity. Nancy was a giver of her time and attention to friends and family. She welcomed anyone new to her with such warmth and an open heart. Her big smile and big personality were lasting memories to all her friends and family.
Nancy is survived by her daughter, her husband Bill, and her four siblings and their spouses Thad (Irma), Jeff (Robin), Matt (Krystel), and Jenny (Ryan). Nancy had many nieces, nephews and cousins.
She was preceded in death by her parents Alice and Tony.
