Nancy Lou Hyland, 78, passed away at Harvest Home in Racine, Thursday, June 6, 2024.

Nancy was born Dec. 17, 1945, in Cornell, to John and Mildred (Smith) Ellis.

She married her longtime sweetheart, LaWayne “Wayne” Hyland, in 1962. In their early marriage, they moved to Louisiana and Texas, during Wayne’s service time in the Navy.

They then settled in Sturtevant, where Nancy was a stay-at-home mom, raising their three children, and enjoying her hobbies and time with family. After retirement, Nancy and Wayne lived in Arkansas, before moving back to Bloomer, to be near family.

Nancy’s hands were always busy: quilting, knitting, embroidery, crocheting and adult coloring. She had a strong faith and enjoyed baking, reading, journaling, and writing letters to her family and friends. She loved tending to her houseplants, gardening and her dachshunds, Charlie and Zoey.

After Wayne passed away in 2021, Nancy moved to Racine, to be near her children. The most important thing to Nancy, was her family and she will be missed by all who knew her.
