Name/Title
Nancy Pittman - “Untitled” - Excel HealthcareDescription
Nancy was born in 1938 in Altoona, Pennsylvania, the oldest in a family of three girls and one boy. Creative at an early age, she liked art, sang in plays and musicals, and learned to sew.
She attended nursing school and had one daughter, using her skills as a seamstress to sew all her daughter’s clothes. But at the age of twenty-four, Nancy’s life changed forever when she suffered an aneurism. After an extended hospital stay, her parents and siblings brought her home, helping her through a long period of rehabilitation. Never again able to frame words, she lived with her parents for many years.
Upon her parents’ death, Nancy moved to California in her late forties to be close to her daughter Rhonda. She has four grandchildren, one of whom followed in her grandmother’s footsteps, attending Nancy’s former nursing school!
She still loves watching football and baseball, a legacy from her father, and her life is filled with painting, music, Bible study and good food (especially her favorite dessert of crème brûlée). Her daughter describes her as strong, independent, self-reliant and a person who “walks to the beat of her own drum.”
