April 12, 1938 ~ April 12, 2021
Nancy Ellen Green passed away peacefully on April 12, 2021, her 83rd birthday. She was born in Torrington, Wyoming, to John and Helen Anderson in 1938. She was the oldest of five children. She spent most of her childhood in the great state of Wyoming as her father was an early oil field drilling pioneer. She graduated from the University of Wyoming with a bachelor’s degree in education in 1962. She was an elementary school teacher in Santa Ana, California, for 10 years before moving to Rangely, Colorado, in 1976. She continued to teach in Dinosaur, Colorado, for a few years and then worked as Rio Blanco County Clerk of Court until her retirement in 1991.
Nancy loved her home state of Wyoming. Whenever she crossed the state line she would say she could just breathe better. She was a huge Denver Broncos fan and spent many Sundays cheering for her team. She was full of life and loved having her family and lots of people around especially her grandchildren.
She is survived by her daughter Alicia (Mike) Cushman of Rangely, Colorado; her granddaughter Kirstin (Jeff) Fielder of Rangely, Colorado; Kindal (Brittanie) Cushman of Stanley, North Dakota; brothers Jerry (Susie) Anderson of Redstone, Colorado, and Jeff Anderson of Surprise, Arizona. She is also survived by six great-grandchildren Keighton, Keaston and Kowynn Cushman and Tylee, Cooper and Ryker Fielder and too many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews to name.
She is preceded in death by her parents John and Helen Anderson, her sister Judy Burnham and her brother Richard “Earthquake” Anderson.
There will be a graveside service Friday, April 16 at 1 p.m. at the Rangely Cemetery. Arrangements are under the direction of Blackburn Vernal Mortuary.
