Nancy
Crocker (Olson) Wootton
-- 1940 ~ 2010 --
Nancy
Wootton, a loving, generous, and fiercely independent spirit,
died surrounded by her loved ones in her daughter's home
on Monday, November 22, 2010 of complications associated
with various chronic medical conditions.
Born in Fredonia, New York on May 15,
1940 to Wilson and Clara Crocker, Nancy enjoyed an active
social life and was grateful to have maintained close relationships
with her high school girlfriends until the day she died.
She married Robert L. Olson on January
26, 1963 and gave birth to her only daughter, Kimberly Olson
(Sieber) the following year. Although divorced in 1981,
Nancy recently shared that these were some of the happiest,
most content, years of her life.
In 1983, Nancy joined lives with Noall
Wootton, sharing the next 23 years with him until his death
in 2006. Their unconditional love and compassionate care
for one another was unparalleled.
Nancy was a dedicated employee of the Bank
of American Fork for over 27 years. She was beloved by her
friends and colleagues for her friendly, helpful, and somewhat
"high-strung" nature. She medically retired in
1997.
She is survived by her daughter and daughter-in-law
Kim Sieber and Janna Martin, grandchildren Sam, Ben, Kade,
& Kole, brother and sister-in-law Bill and Karen Crocker,
and niece and nephew Lynn Crocker and Dan Crocker.
A private graveside service will take place
within the next month at the American Fork Cemetery. Condolences
may be sent to Warenski Funeral Home in American Fork, Utah.
In lieu of flowers, she would have welcomed donations in
her name to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
