Nancy M. Lapka, age 53, went to be with the Lord after a tough fight with cancer on February 21, 2015 in the comfort of her own home under Heartland Hospice. Nancy was surrounded by her loved ones.
She was born in Bad Axe on February 7, 1962 to Charles and Bertha Lapka. She was the youngest of six children.
Nancy was a phenomenal cook for over twenty years and a compassionate home health aide for ten of her amazing years. She enjoyed playing bingo, camping, and simply just being around her grandchildren.
Nancy is survived by three children: Clifford (Hope) Rinnert, Stacey (Leshone) Rinnert and Carrie (Clarence) Lapka; four grandchildren: Kaylee, Janessa, Anthony and Ryleigh; her sister Deb (Dave) Butcher; four brothers Richard (Sharon) Sobczak, Chuck (Sally) Lapka, Andy (Sue) Lapka, and Tim (Cheryl) Lapka. She is also survived by a few very close friends: Cliff and Lynn Rinnert, Tracy Attard, Shirley Vantol, Dora Day and Brant Bueche.
Nancy was preceded in death by her grandson Andrew James on August 1, 2005.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 7, 2015 from 10 am – noon at the MacAlpine Funeral Home Mac Chapel in Bad Axe.
