Nancy S. Engstrom

Nancy S. Engstrom, 67, of Grafton, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December, 23rd 2020 at her home surrounded by loved ones. Nancy was born on July 10th 1953, to Arlene and Arthur Goebel in Moline, IL. After graduating from Moline High School in 1971, she went on to study science and obtained an Associate’s Degree at Black Hawk College. There she met her college sweetheart-Dave and went on become a cytotechnologist in Chicago at Michael Reese Hospital. Nancy and David united in marriage on June 19th, 1976 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Moline, IL. They resided in Davenport, Iowa and Normal, IL, prior to settling in Grafton, WI where they raised their 4 children. Nancy was a stay at home Mom when the kids were young and enjoyed volunteering for meals on wheels and PACE. Nancy was a longstanding parishioner of St. Joseph’s Parish in Grafton and enjoyed writing birthday cards to parishioners. Nancy was a loved daughter, niece, aunt, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and friend to many. She was especially proud of her husband and would talk about Dave to anyone who would listen and would want to be by his side at all times. In addition to her family and friends, she took delight in her faith, word search puzzle books, pictures of her grandchildren, watching Wheel of Fortune and going out to dinner with Dave. We will miss her greatly. She is survived by her devoted husband of 44 and a ½ years, David, children: Lisa (Cory) Robertson of Glendale, Jenny (Richard) De La Cruz of Cedarburg, Eric (Amie) Engstrom of Port Washington and Katie (Marshal) Clark of Grafton, grandchildren; Terry Robertson, Kaitlyn, Wyatt and William De La Cruz, Connor Engstrom, Hunter, Noah and Logan Clark.
