---

Nancy passed peacefully on September 8, 2024 with her two children by her side. She is survived by son Adam Dengel, daughter Laurie Thorbjornsen (Eric), grandchildren Devon Dengel-Guillon, Jari Thorbjornsen and siblings Charlene Burge, Wilberta Woodson and William Woodson.

Born in Kansas to Edith and Charles Woodson in 1946. She was the 5th of 6 children and the youngest girl. She went to Emporia teachers college, Sawyer Business College. She taught at the Tellers Institute in the 80's and eventually worked at Seagate and Cisco as a Financial Analyst.

Married to Ken Dengel in 1967. They had two children together before divorcing in 1977. Nancy and the children moved from Michigan to Ventura, California where they lived with her sister Wilberta and her two kids Becky and Eddie until they could move out on their own.

Over the years she has resided in many places including Kansas, Missouri, Michigan, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and finally settling in California after the divorce in 1977. In California she lived in Ventura, Oxnard, San Jose and Morgan Hill at a total of 12 residences.

She was a talker! She absolutely LOVED talking and telling stories and hearing stories. She had a young and sensitive soul and a warm heart. She was intelligent and had a great sense of humor. She was always open to new adventures, plans and ideas and would listen with an open mind. She was a loving and forgiving parent. Her favorite thing to do was basically "anything with her children or grandchildren". She truly enjoyed her retirement job of being a Nannie to Easton and Hudson Gonzalez and they were also her family.

A celebration of Nancy's life
will be held on November 16, 2024
