Nancy Wygle, 85, passed away on Saturday, September 1, 2018, in Ventura. She was born in Illinois in 1933 and moved to California in 1948. Nancy was a resident of Ventura for 60 years. She attended the University of California, Berkeley, where she met her husband, Peter Wygle. They married in 1954 and enjoyed 49 years of marriage until his death in 2003. She will be joining him at their final resting place in the Arlington National Cemetery.
During her lifetime, Nancy pursued her love of travel. She travelled extensively through the U.S, Europe, and the Far East; however, her greatest love was for England and was considered quite the Anglophile. She loved history, books, classic movies, music of all kinds, proper grammar, hedgehogs, spiders, lambs, holidays, beer, cooking, wine and great conversation on her porch. She had a wonderful sense of humor, a great laugh, and she organized the best themed parties. Nancy enjoyed many wonderful friendships throughout her life and never met a stranger. She had a great love for family and instilled many traditions that will be passed on to future generations.
She is survived by her four daughters, Julia Henderson of Kanab, UT, Leslie Hill and her husband Jeff of Highland, UT, Lauren Doenges and her husband Bruce of Ventura, CA, and Andrea Martin and her husband Mike of Henderson, NV; eight grandchildren, Scott Chacon and his wife Jessica, Megan Pujol and her husband Chris, Jonathan Doenges, David Doenges, Casey Henderson, Jake Henderson, Stephanie Martin, and Sam Martin; her brother, James Fulkerson of Las Cruses, NM; and nephews, Joe and Jim Fulkerson; and five great grandchildren, Sydney, Taylor and Payton Pujol, and Josephine and Robert Chacon.

Arrangements are under the direction of the Ted Mayr Funeral Home.
