Obituary of Nancy Neville

Nancy Lee Loose was the first child born to Alexander Loose and Elizabeth (Ostwald) Loose on May 9, 1938 in Ft. Morgan, CO. Nancy passed away at the age of 68 on Saturday, December 16, 2006 at Hospice of Metro Denver in Aurora, CO.

After graduation from Ft. Morgan High School in 1956, Nancy married her high school sweetheart, Donald Neville, on June 3, 1956. To this union, one son, Brent, was born on February 15, 1958. Nancy was employed by Canfield Drilling Co. in Ft. Morgan for 10 years before the family moved to Wray, CO in 1966 when Don was transferred by Safeway. The family relocated again in 1972 when Safeway transferred Don to Sidney, NE, where after obeying the Gospel in 1975, Nancy became an active member of the church of Christ, teaching Sunday school. In 1982, Nancy and Don made their final move, again a transfer by Safeway, to Burlington, CO where Nancy was an active member of the local congregation, until her diminishing health prevented her participation. Both her natural and church families were vital parts of her life. Nancy enjoyed cooking and was renowned for her culinary skills. She was also a member of the Burlington Women’s Club. Continued deterioration of her health led to a fall in late 2004 that forced her to spend all of 2005 in long-term care facilities where her condition worsened, resulting in hospitalization from the start of 2006 until she was transferred to a hospice last week. Sadly, Nancy’s illness prevented her from being able to celebrate her golden anniversary with Don on June 3rd of this year.

Nancy is survived by here husband, Don, and son, Brent, both of Burlington, CO, sister Barbara (Edward) Fries of Ft. Collins, CO, twin sisters Karen Spohr and Kay (William) Lutes, both of Ft. Morgan, CO and sister-in-law Sherry (Donald) Amman, also of Ft. Morgan, as well as nieces, nephews, an aunt, numerous friends and of course, her church family. Everyone who knew her will dearly miss her.

Services for Nancy will be held on Thursday, December 28, 2006 at 10:30 A.M. at the church of Christ in Burlington with Greg Smith officiating, followed by interment at Fairview Cemetery, also in Burlington.
