Nancy Ort was born in Gaylord, Michigan on November 5, 1932. She passed away October 31, 2020, 5 days short of her 88^th birthday. She was predeceased by her husband, Robert S. Ort, MD. She leaves three daughters, Linda (Dan) Staebell, Teresa (Randy) Nugent, and Kim Miller (Sam Davis). She had a large extended family with 7 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren and 4 stepchildren and their families. Nancy attended Eastern High School and Michigan State University earning an Associate Degree. She was involved in raising her daughters and was always active in school activities such as PTA and room mother. She volunteered with Vacation Bible School at her church, Mount Hope UMC where she was a member for most of her life. She worked for the State of Michigan after her girls were raised and retired from the Department of Transportation as a supervisor. She and Bob retired to Sebring, Florida. While in Florida, she was active as a volunteer at her church and the local Habitat for Humanity office. Nancy financed a home for a family in Florida in honor of Bob after his death. She and Bob loved to travel and entertain. She returned to Michigan after Bob’s passing to be closer to family. She continued to volunteer working for many years with Christian Social Services and at the Sparrow Hospital gift shop. We will miss her generous nature, sense of humor and wonderful family meals. Mom was a great cook!
