Nancy Jane Stormont passed away peacefully at home on July 27, 2024. She was born March 22, 1942, in Glens Falls, New York to Walter and Mariel Pulver. Devoted wife of 58 years to Dr. James R. Stormont; proud mother of Dr. Daniel (Dr. Annette), Dr. Robert (Libby), Dr. John (Joleen), Dr. Thomas (Dorothy), Michael (Nella) and Elizabeth (Mike); loving grandmother of Ian, Gavin, Alissa, Alex, Ellen, James, Rachel, Tracy, Nathan, Joe, Sheila, Maureen, Sarah, Anna, and Max; great grandmother of James, Isabelle, Weller, Linden, Charlie, Rain, Annie, Adam, Connor, Ian, John, Quinn, and Shae; dear sister of Susan and Linda; aunt to Jennifer, Andrew, David, Matt, Jon, Russell and Doug. She is preceded in death by her husband James, parents, and brothers-in-law, Art, Gene, and Robert.
Nancy’s younger years brought several moves with her parents and sisters between New York, Montreal Canada, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Post-high school, she attended UW-Madison. She eventually followed her sister, Linda, to Monroe, WI, and remained in Monroe where she and Dad met, married, and raised six children. She volunteered for many years at St. Clare Hospital in Monroe, taking newborn photos and working in the gift shop. She enjoyed using her sharp intellect as a licensed tax preparer and avid cruciverbalist. She was active in golf, bowling, and curling leagues in Monroe for several years, and remained a faithful fan of the Packers, Badgers, and Brewers.
Nancy was the epitome of devotion and loyalty. Her greatest joys centered around family, always selflessly placing their needs above all else. She was a wonderful mother with an extraordinary ability to (mostly) keep the Stormont children out of mischief. A talented self-taught cook, she crafted many incredible holiday and poolside feasts that brought the family together on many occasions.
Her smile was radiant. Her positivity and determination were inspiring. Her worries were always out of love. Her quiet composure when confronted with overwhelming situations was calming. She exemplified resilience – teaching her children that while life is full of ups and downs, to keep moving forward by staying hopeful, positive, and smiling through it all. She was well-grounded, always grateful for what she had, and found beauty in the ordinary, daily moments; many of which have become some of the family’s most treasured stories and memories.
“It’s not what we have. It’s who we have.”
