Nancy left this world for her eternal home on Sunday October 29, 2017 at the age of 63. She was born on August 21, 1954 in Roswell, New Mexico to Lester and Opal Burnes. Both of her parents have preceded her in death.
Nancy was a unique blend of endurance, tenacity, and charisma. During her working years she found her place at Glovers Packing Plant in Roswell and also at IBP in Amarillo, Texas. Nancy had a spirit of compassion which paired with a heart to serve those who needed assistance. She spent time as a private duty sitter for the elderly by taking seniors to doctor appointments and learned the trade of transcriptionist while working for St. Mary’s and La Casa. The strength of her body may have waivered but her mind and will never did. She lived and loved life to the fullest and even when medical problems attempted to slow her pace she endured.
She had a heart of gold and an iron tenacity that came naturally. She would help anybody even if it meant taking them into her home. When others were written off as hopeless Nancy stepped up to help and the good that might be hidden beneath a person’s broken veneer was always crystal clear to her. She fostered a place of ease and calm in the torrential storm of life and her generosity has left behind many changed lives for those she encountered during their darkest hour.
Nancy embodied a warm and inviting charisma that attracted the attention of Ray Hardcastle. The two were married on May 05, 1989 and remained together until his passing.
