Nancy Brown
January 16, 2023
Nancy Diane Brown, a loving wife, mother, and grandmother passed away in her home on January 16, 2023, leaving behind her husband and best friend of 47 years, Bo, her daughter Shelley Richards (Brian Butler), granddaughter Chelsey Lande (Nick), and two greatly adored great-granddaughters Alivia and Reese.
Nancy enjoyed spending time with family and friends, being outside in the sun, and spoiling her grandchildren every chance she had. She was loving, caring, selfless, fun, witty, wise, and spunky.
Nancy dedicated over 25 years as a manager to Casey’s General Store. She loved her Casey’s family and all of her close customers. She was social and loved to joke with people and had the ability to make anyone smile and laugh.
Nancy went to heaven to reunite with her parents John and Winnie, her sisters Thelma, Mary, and Ona, nieces Vicky and Terry, nephews Rick and Mike, and her lifelong best friend Sheryl.
Services will be held at Hamilton’s near Highland Memory Gardens, 121 NW 60th Avenue in Des Moines on Wednesday, January 25, 2023. Visitation will be from 12-2 p.m. with services to follow at 2 p.m.

Dear Bo I am so sorry to hear of Nancy's passing. She was your light , your rock and a funny, incredibly strong woman. I never had the chance to meet her. How do I know this about her? Because YOU told me over the years. She will always be with you. And God will see you through this unbearable time.
