Nancy Lee Burgess, 61, of Superior, Colorado, passed away on January 11th, 2022 after a long and difficult battle with emphysema and COPD. She was at home surrounded by her immediate family and passed peacefully. Nancy was born on June 14, 1960 to John and Anita Pitzer in Cleveland, Ohio. For over 20 years, Nancy worked for Wyle Labs, where she was well-respected in her roles in sales and customer service.
In 1986, she met Paul Burgess, and they wed in 1993. They were married for 28 years. Paul and Nancy went on to have three children, Lauren, Allie, and Logan. When Nancy had Lauren, she decided to dedicate her life to being a fantastic and wonderful mother. Nancy excelled at lifting up Paul, Lauren, Allie and Logan and supporting them through the many passions and difficulties of their lives. She made it her mission to improve the lives of others. Nancy was passionate about needle-point, crocheting, camping, and fishing and when she wasn’t filling her home with warmth and kindness, she could be found in some of her favorite places: the beach, the ski lift, or Las Vegas. We will miss her greatly.
Nancy was preceded in death by her father, John, and her mother, Anita. She is survived by her loving husband, Paul, her daughter Lauren with husband Mike and their two daughters, Addison and Avery, her daughter Allie with fiancé, Miguel, her son Logan, and the family dog, Cooper.
A Celebration of Life Memorial will be held at Stonebrook Manor, located at 650 E 124th Avenue, Thornton, CO 80241 on Friday, January 21 at 2:00 pm MST. A reception with food and beverages will follow.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to the Boulder County Wildfire Fund to help people affected by the recent fires in Superior and Louisville.
