Nancy Brandenburg Felheim was an extremely positive individual with a strong can-do attitude. She retired from working as a
legal secretary at the age of 80.She loved grammar. Whenever she found something to be funny or important, it would often show up as a short story. Belonging to a writers’ group afforded her valued social interactions and an opportunity to become a better writer. Consistent
with her love of language, she was an avid reader. She read everything and anything. I must reference her favorite character
named Lulu from the Janet Evanovich series. Mom would laugh, literally for years, at things that Lulu said and/or did. Laughter came easily and often, especially when she was with family and friends.
Nancy Brandenburg was creative. However, she would not see it that way. She was an accomplished seamstress and sewed
her entire life. The outcomes of her efforts were always unique and amazing. Her craft room was ready with whatever
provisions she might have needed to make that special item she saw at a craft show. Yes, she needed those larger than life
pine cones, 50 small, plastic applesauce cups and numerous 2 liter bottles just in case.
She loved spending time with her friends and family. She loved to go, go, go. She loved to EAT!!!! If the question was posed,
“Do you wanna go ….? She was already sitting in the car. How could she resist another trip with Jill to Hobby Lobby, the
Dollar Store or to sit on the curb and watch the seasonal Dade City parades go by. She was very proud to have camped in all
48 contiguous states.
Life, by definition, included a dog. Not just a dog, a much loved companion and soulmate. When her dog would pass away,
she would find a dog in need of love, and she would christen it with “It’s your turn now.” Let the life and love continue !!!!
May her legacy of positivity, life (dog) loving and inherent kindness live on in each of us!
Thank you mom! You will always be in our hearts!! We will forever hear your laughter!

I loved Nancy very much and was so happy I could help care for her in her time of need. She was sweet, gracious and living. I will always remember that about her. RIP my friend.
Mom, I am so happy to have known and loved you in the 24 years Rhonda and I have been together. You created the person she is and for that I am so grateful. Dance on in heaven!
Nancy was a good friend. She was always happy and ready to go. We had a lot of good times and shared many an ice cream…
She will be greatly missed.
Aunt Nancy even though we haven't seen you for years I can still hear your laughter. I remember our camping trip out west. That was my family's introduction to camping that continued throughout my childhood. Love you Aunt Nancy and we will be together again in glory!
There are no words in my heart that expresses my Thankfulness and Love for you ♥️ . Through it all you remained steadfast in your love of family, life, and most of all God….
Aunt Nancy, I am sad to hear of your passing. With the divorce of my parents (Sue, your sister in law and Ernie) we all just lost touch of everyone. I loved and miss the family visits. And I miss the beast Demon, lol. May you rest in peace forever.
