Nancy A. Cardona – born Dec 20, 1937; died Feb 26, 2017; surrounded by her family.

She is pre-deceased by her husband of 35 years, Richard Cardona and parents John and Bernice Carroll. Nancy was born and raised in San Francisco where she attended St. Paul High School. After high school, she worked at Transport Clearing as a Secretary. She married Rich in 1956 and they settled in San Bruno, CA. There they raised their five sons and went on many family trips as Nancy loved to travel. She loved to spend summers at the family cabin in Russian River. After her sons were grown, Nancy re-entered the workforce at Bank of America where she was merchant teller. Rich and Nancy loved to go on cruises and enjoyed many parties with their friends in the Bay Area. Nancy lost her beloved Rich in 1991. She adored her grandchildren, many of whom she watched from infancy. As her grandchildren grew, Nancy continued to be involved in their lives whether it was camping with the entire Cardona clan at Wyntoon Park, trips to Disneyland and Hawaii, or just enjoying them at family events. Her family was her pride and joy. Nancy’s love of line dancing brought her and Larry together and in 1998 they moved to El Dorado Hills, CA. Nancy easily made many friends and loved spending time with them at the Four Seasons community. There, she volunteered at the reception desk. Nancy loved her garden and spent many afternoons making sure it always looked beautiful. She loved shopping, mimosas and her Tuesday movies. Nancy’s love of life was infectious and she was an inspiration to everyone! Even in illness she never stopped enjoying life. We will miss her dearly and remember her in our heart always.
