Nancy was born on October 27th, 1941 in Marshfield, WI to Harold and Elsie (Foreman) Blum. Nancy was a pro shopper and loved to pick out clothing and books for the local elementary schools for children who may have not had those things otherwise. A very intimate time in Nancy and Tony’s life was spent at their family lake cabin, which was owned by the family for many generations. Here, they shared many fond memories with family. Her good friend, Judy, was her partner in all things shopping, whether it be for flowers for her immaculate garden, or the donations to children she was so generous with. She also loved her time spent on the local bowling league, sporting her finesse by winning 1st place in a few tournaments. She spent 10 fun years doing this activity. To say the least, she loved being active in any way she found suitable.

Nancy is survived by her husband Tony Buchek and their son, Chad.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Harold and Elsie, and son, Troy.
