Nancy Lea Mossburgh was born Oct. 26.1978, at the Dundy County Hospital in Benkelman, Neb., to Loren K. and Ila (Humphreys) Mossburgh. At the age of 17 years, she died on July 7 1996, at Dundy County Hospital of metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma.
She had completed her junior year at Dundy County High School where she was a member of FFA, FBLA, Entrepreneur Class and the volleyball and track teams. She was also a member of the Methodist Youth Fellowship, 4-H, Girl Scouts and the Benkelman United Methodist Church.
Nancy did not like being the center of attention. When asked, "How are you?" the reply would be "I am good, how are you?"
Nancy loved life, friends, family, flowers, gardening, pets, traveling, giving, saying "I'm sorry" and asking for prayer.
Willie was a wonderful brother and friend to Nancy. She was very thankful for his help and love.
School was very important to Nancy and education was a number one priority. She was looking forward to college. The family was thankful for the extra assistance given by teachers, staff and Mrs. O.
Aunt Dorothy Humphreys opened her home to the family with the hospital bed and Ila and family were very thankful. Nancy was concerned about being too much trouble and in the way.
Tumbles, Nancy's poodle was entrusted to grandma Humphreys when they had to be way. Nancy was worried that grandma would work to hard in the yard. She knew it was work to water and weed. She was grateful to Roger and Florence for all the mowing they did. Nancy loved the yard neat and trim, but couldn't do it herself.
Even with her illness, laughter came when her friends and family were around. She loved to share her Japanese gum, food and candy.
In 1985, Nancy made special friends, now family, with John and Jeanette Kilgore. John baptized Nancy, Ila and Will in 1986.
Nancy really appreciated the quick and kind care of the nurses at the Dundy County Hospital and the Omaha Medical Center. She enjoyed all the flowers, gifts and balloons she received throughout her illness.
Preceding her in death were her father, Loren in 1985 and grandfathers Kermit Humphreys and William Mossburgh.
Survivors include her mother, Ila and brother, William K. of Max, Neb., grandmothers opal Humphreys of Max and Mae Mossburgh of St. Francis, Kans., many aunts, uncles, cousins, other relatives and friends.

Final rites were held Wednesday, July 10, 1996 at 10:30a.m. at the Dundy County High School in Benkelman with Rev. Anthony Dawson and Kieth Haisch officiating. Pianist was Tally Case, and Elmer Case sang "Ten Thousand Angels," "Friends" and "Because He Lives." Bearers were Keith Harper, Casey Lee, Josh Jones, Van Kitt, Shane Sis and Spencer Parker. Honorary bearers were Randy Elbert, Gregg Ham, Kelly Raichart, Ben Gottschalk, Dr. Tom Noffsinger, Ted Behlke, 1997 Classmates and all of Nancy's friends. Interment was in Benkelman Cemetery with Jones Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.
The following was read at her services by nurses and staff of the Dundy County Hospital as 150 purple balloons were released:
"Nancy was an angel here on earth. She will now be watching us each day and hour. May we emulate her generosity, lovely being and enthusiasm for life; and may God be with us each day as He was with Nancy. The release of these balloons symbolizes the release of Nancy's spirit to soar as an angel with God in his heaven." - Cathy Broz.
Nancy beat cancer – the cancer did not beat her. For not once did she allow it to defeat her. It never took away her beautiful smile, her wit and sense of humor nor her concern for others. She was a daily inspiration to each of us and taught us lessons we will carry with us for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Nancy. You have truly touched the lives of those around you. You were one of God's blessings here on earth. - Nola
