Nancy Earleywine

Nancy L (Williamson) Earleywine, age 84 of Council Bluffs, lowa passed away on January 4, 2025 at Midlands Living Center in Council Bluffs, lowa. Nancy was born November 17, 1940, in Council Bluffs, lowa to Otto Williamson and Pearl (Coyle-Smith) Williamson.

Nancy's greatest fondness was her family, close friend Carol LeRette and the love of animals. At Midlands Living Center, she loved taking part in events and people watching. Before Midlands, Nancy was a resident at Northcrest Living Center. During her years there Nancy was even crowned Queen of Valentine's Day in 2022. She displayed that honor well, however those that knew Nancy knew she did not want to be center of attention and always wanted to make sure others were having fun and taken care of.

Nancy always looked out for others and felt the need to care for them. She was a very nurturing "mother hen" as they say. She never worked outside the home but was a caregiver to her daughter Sandy at the end of her life and also took care of elderly neighbors that were like family. Always caring for others and putting them first. Nancy never strayed far from home (as she never knew how to drive a car). Some of us think that was probably a good thing. She enjoyed the families trips to almost every state but was always yearning to return home where she felt the most comfortable. Nancy was an avid animal lover and always had an open heart for animals (especially those that landed on her doorstep). If it was cute, furry and had four legs Nancy would be your go to lady. Whenever Nancy used to take her walks, she would be the animal whisperer as stray dogs would follow her home and sometimes, they would stay to become part of the family.

She is preceded to Heaven by parents: Otto & Pearl Williamson, Husband: Glen Earleywine, Daughter: Sandra (Narducci), Earleywine and Siblings: Ella May Points, Raymond Smith, Jim Smith, Betty Strum Christo, Tom Williamson, Ben Williamson, Rosalie Williamson and waiting at the rainbow bridge for her are all her beloved animals that she took care of during their years.

Nancy is survived by her daughter: Brenda (John - favorite Son-In-Law) Salmans of Council Bluffs, IA, Grandson: Nathan Narducci of Newport Richey, Florida, Grand Daughter: Lindsie Salmans of Omaha, Nebraska, Great-Great Grandson: Malakai Narducci of Newport Richey, Florida, many nieces and nephews and her grand puppies. Also survived by her dearest friend, Carol LeRette. Nancy will be greatly missed and held close in everyone's heart.
