Obituary for Nancy Lee McGee

Nancy McGee, 76, of Indianola passed away April 19, 2019 at the Legacy Lodge Hospice in Chariton. Services for Nancy will be held on Tuesday, April 23, 2019 at 10:30 a.m. at the Pierschbacher Funeral Home in Chariton. Interment will be at the Last Chance Cemetery. Family will receive friends on Monday, April 22, from 5:00 until 7:00 p.m. at the funeral home. Memorials are requested to the Legacy Lodge Hospice in Chariton.

Nancy was born January 17, 1943 in Cambria, Iowa to Earnest and Nadine Proctor Church. As a child, her family moved out west where she fell in love with the Rocky Mountains. Nancy always said the mountains fed her soul. For a time they lived in a one room cabin along Fisher Creek in Western Montana, a time she remembered as a “great adventure”. They also lived in Coeur d'Alene Idaho, a place she loved for the rest of her life and visited as often as she could. They returned to Iowa and she went to Chariton Schools where she met Robert McGee. At a dance at the VFW Nancy recalled how sharp Robert looked in his seersucker shirt and penny loafers and she was wearing a poodle skirt she made for her self. As it turned out they were made for each other and were married on November 21, 1959 in Princeton, Missouri. Nancy and Robert were blessed with three children: Jeffery, Brenda, and Kathy.

Nancy worked at the Hy-Vee Offices several years before moving to Indianola in the early 1970’s. This is where she began her career as a real estate agent. She loved her work and loved helping people find their new home. Not only a top-seller many times over; she often helped people get in their first home by not taking a commission, helping them get credit, or pulling strings to get them in their home. She was everyone’s caretaker, maybe considered a little bossy, but in a good way, just wanting to help.

She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, where she devoted much time and service.

Nancy was infinitely curious. Together, Nancy and Robert, loved to travel. They traveled all over the United States, and of course loved the Rocky Mountains and enjoyed the little purple flowers growing all over them. They absolutely loved the cruise to the Mediterranean to see the history and beautiful sights.

There was nothing she couldn’t do. An amazing seamstress, making many of her family’s clothes. She could bake like no other, making wedding and birthday cakes for everyone. She loved to cook and to teach others how to cook. Nancy loved to garden, especially enjoying the vegetables so she could share with family. There are many stories with family working and playing in the garden.

In remembering Nancy, you think of her ultimate love for all her family. She loved everyone, but as she said, “my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren are my silver and gold.”

Nancy will be greatly missed by her husband, Robert McGee; children: Jeffery (Sandy) McGee, Brenda Glosser, and Kathy (Chris) Shutts; grandchildren: Jennifer (James), Cody (Lacey), Casey, Calley, Daniel, and Chelsi; great grandchildren: Alexandria, Colton, Ella, Lily, Charlotte, Ryder, and Maci; siblings: Connie (Paul) Prough and Mary (Craig) Jeffries; sisters-in-law: Judy Church and Jo Church; along with many relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents: Earnest and Nadine Church; siblings: Loren Church, Bill Church, and infant twin sisters: Joann and Jeanette; and a nephew, Marc Church.
