Nancy Carol Nuss was called by her Lord and Savior to her eternal home on Saturday, April 29, 2023 after a brief battle with pancreatic/liver cancer.

Nancy was born November 11, 1950 in Leavenworth, Kansas, the eldest of the four&nbsp;daughters of Norman and Margarette Nolop. After graduating from Leavenworth High&nbsp;School, she earned her B.S. in Education from Concordia Teachers College (now&nbsp;Concordia University NE) in Seward, Nebraska.

In 1972 she married her high school sweetheart Maxwell Nuss. Together they travelled&nbsp;coast to coast with his employment, having one adventure after another, meeting so&nbsp;many new friends and creating their own life. If asked, she would chuckle as she&nbsp;commented that her resume was more than three pages long. Her work career&nbsp;spanned so many job descriptions, but she summed them all into "I was an educator."

Nancy felt you were never too old to learn- or to help someone learn. She loved&nbsp;cruising to Alaska and Hawaii...twice each! Hobbies included reading, gardening, arts&nbsp;and crafts, piecing quilt tops, and shark tooth hunting while walking on Florida beaches&nbsp;with the love of her life.

Nancy was preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her husband Max&nbsp;Nuss; her daughter and son-in-law, Sandy Nuss (Dalin Horner); three sisters Kay&nbsp;(Roger) Lehr, Cindy Meyer, Peggy Sue Wilson; nieces and nephews.

The family offers a special thank you for unwavering care and concern provided to&nbsp;Nancy by Pastor Damian Snyder, the staff of Crossroad Hospice and Palliative Care,&nbsp;her Saturday Night Trinity Family, and family and friends who sent cards and well&nbsp;wishes.

Visitation will be on Wednesday, May 10, 2023 at Trinity Lutheran Church from 10-11:30 A.M.&nbsp;Funeral service will be held at Trinity Lutheran Church, Leavenworth, on Wednesday, May 10, 2023 at 11:30 A.M. Burial will follow at 12:30 P.M. at Leavenworth National Cemetery.

KANSAS CITY, KS – Marie Jane “Sally” Perez, 95, of Kansas City, KS, passed away on Saturday, March 4, 2023, at her home surrounded by her children.&nbsp;

She was born July 9, 1927, in Lillis, KS. She attended grade school in Neuchatel and graduated from Onaga High School, where she was voted president of her Freshman class and perfomed as a majorette in the marching band. After graduation from high school, she moved to Topeka and found a job making parts for the B-29 Superfortress during World War II. &nbsp;&nbsp;

She married Evaristo J. “Everett” Perez on June 12, 1949, in Iowa, and they eventually settled in Kansas City, KS. She worked at the Snow Cap Restaurant, Russell Stover’s, Hallmark, and the deli at K-Mart.

She loved to travel. She and Everett made several trips to Mexico, and numerous trips to Washington, to visit their son, Joseph, and see the sites. Most summers were spent in Onaga and Duluth, KS, where she was always busy – gardening, decorating, and exploring landmarks from her youth.

Holidays were always a special time.&nbsp; Grandma always has a special treat bag made up for each of the grandkids when they came to visit on Easter and Halloween. She especially loved decorating the house at Christmas time with snowmen and her Christmas trees and houses.

Sally like spending quiet time with a book or a crossword puzzle.&nbsp; She played the piano, crocheted blankets and sewed quilts for many years, but eventually had to give it up due to the crippling effects of Rheumatoid Arthritis. For many years she continued to find creative ways to accomplish tasks despite her limitations, and managed to occupy her time by completing numerous Thomas Kincaid jigsaw puzzles. When she was no longer able to do that, she kept her mind sharp by balancing her checkbook down to the penny every month.
