Nancy Gifford Gillespie

September 7, 1956 - September 6, 2015

Our beloved mother, Nancy Gifford Gillespie, age 58, passed away suddenly September 6, 2015 in Sandy, Utah. Nancy was born September 7, 1956 in Burbank, California to Shirley and Blaine Gifford. After graduating from Reseda High School, she travelled throughout the West Coast, raising five children. She will be greatly missed. A devote and active member of the LDS Church, she spent the rest of her days in Utah. Possessing a very kind and gentle soul with a loving and generous heart, she spent her time as a caregiver, accomplished seamstress and a proud grandmother of seven. Despite a debilitating struggle with Rheumatoid Arthritis, she loved socializing with friends and family, blessing those around her with a cheerful spirit and delightful laugh. Nancy is survived by her 5 children, Grant, Heidi, Josh, Mari and Josiah; mother, Shirley Gifford; brothers, Sam and Kevin Gifford; and sister, Melinda Gifford Jacobs as well as 7 grandchildren. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, September 10, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. in the Provo 1st Ward Chapel, 195 South 100 East, Provo, Utah.
