Nancy K. Martin, 83, of Waterford, passed away Thursday, Dec. 19, 2024 at Aurora Medical Center in Burlington.
Born in Wisconsin on Dec. 14, 1941, she was the daughter of Ralph and Virginia (nee Rueter) Wood.
Nancy was a lifetime member of St. Charles Catholic Church where she proudly served with the ladies auxiliary and was a volunteer at Burlington Hospital. Some of her favorite interests were crafting, antiquing, reading, playing cards, rooting for the Packers and Brewers and crosswords, but her favorite things included her family. She loved going up north and spending time with family at get-togethers.
Nancy will be remembered as a hard working, unselfish woman that raised four great children. She found much pleasure in watching them raise their own families. She will be so missed, her contagious laugh that lit up a room, sense of humor and loving spirit will serve as a wonderful reminder of the beautiful mom, grandmother “nana” and great grandmother she was.
Nancy is survived by her husband of 42 years, Jerome “Jerry”; children, Beth (Steve) Ehlen, Scott (Mary) Deaton, Tim (Sue) Deaton and Heather (Eric Oquist) Deaton; grandchildren, Kayla (Dennis) Oehldrich, Jordan (Jill) Ehlen, Brady (Dena) Ehlen, Nevada Deaton, Natalie Deaton, Max Deaton, Colin Oquist, Elliot Oquist and the late Megan Ehlen; seven, soon to be eight, great-grandchildren; siblings, Judy (Jerry) Ketterhagen, Linda (LeMoine) Worthington, the late Susan Morrow and Rick Wood; along with many stepchildren, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
