She has lived in the Alvo, Holland/Hickman, and Crete communities, raising her four sons and cultivating strong friendships everywhere she went and enjoying life to the fullest.

Nancy is survived by her long-term companion, Dennis Yank; four sons, Tim (Melissa), Mark, Scott (Crystal), and Dan (Chris); 10 grandchildren, Charity, Landon, Sophia, Jamie, Brian (Amy), Dillon, Zach (Sara), Valerie (Joe), Denise and Dana; 13 great-grandchildren, Bryson, KaeLee, Paige, Kaleb, Isabella, Haileigh, Marshawna, Tatiana, DJ, Kaison, AshLeigh (Ethan), Alysa (Colton) and Ryon; her siblings, Richard (Roni) Printz and Steve Printz; several cousins/nieces/nephews (Printz and Kapke) and a multitude of close friends.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Mary and Cleo Printz, and her husband, Dennis Kapke.
Nancy requested no formal funeral service or visitation, so a Celebration of Life was Sept. 17. Memorial contributions are suggested to the HoriSun Hospice or to the donor’s charity of choice. Condolences may be left for the family online at www.bmlfh.com.
