Nancy Jane Hendricks (Stivers) was born July 16, 1931, in Spokane, WA. Her long vigilant fight with Alzheimer and breast cancer finally ended on December 25, 2011 as she joined God’s choir to celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. Nancy met Harry at a USO dance in Spokane while Harry was a Staff Sergeant serving in the Air Force and stationed at Geiger Field. They were married on March 16, 1952, while Harry was still in the Air Force and they were just 3 months away from celebrating their 60 wedding anniversary. Nancy was a member of the Navy WACS and the American Legion. She retired from the Boeing Company and volunteered her time at the Boeing Museum of Flight. She enjoyed taking pictures (lots of pictures!), crocheting and singing in her church choir but what brought her the most joy was her family!
Nancy is survived by her loving husband Harry, her children Christine (Tom) Bennett, Paul (Linda) Hendricks, Shari (Mike) Wallace, Kathy (Kent) Cook, her grandchildren, Justin, Christopher, Tyler, Michelle, Brittany, Evan, John, Briana and her niece Penny (Glenn) Tyrrell. Nancy is pre-deceased by her brother the late Ron Stivers and nephew Michael Stivers.
The Hendricks family would like to extend our gratitude to George and Adina of Loving Care A.F.H. for their loving care of our mother.
