NANCY MEYER RUPRECHT, 75

Nancy G. Meyer Ruprecht, 75, of Shueyville, died Friday, Dec. 27, 2013 after a courageous battle with COPD, rheumatoid arthritis, as well as many other illnesses. Nancy was born June 1, 1938, the daughter of Claire and Opal (Robertson) Meyer, in Grinnell. For 30 years, Nancy worked in the accounting department at Wilson's Meat Processing Plant and then worked for Van Maur where she sold clothes in the women's clothing department. On March 19, 1982, she was united in marriage to Gar Ruprecht in Las Vegas, Nevada.

A people person, Nancy enjoyed visiting with everyone she met, as she never met a stranger. She enjoyed dining out, traveling, and as a diehard Cub fan, loved watching the Cub's game and golf on TV. Nancy also enjoyed getting together and socializing at monthly luncheons with her friends. Nancy and Gar did many activities together, rarely would you see them apart.

Survivors include her husband of 31 years, Gar; children, Steven Meeker of Cedar Rapids and Monte (Shelly) Ruprecht of Toddville; grandchildren, Taryn and Bryce Meeker, Mitch, Myles and Riley Ruprecht; great-grandchildren, Olivia and Gavin Ruprecht; sister, Marilyn Meyer of Eden Prairie, Minn.; and brother, John Meyer of Brooklyn.

She was preceded in death by her parents.

Services were at 1:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 30, 2013, at Murdoch-Linwood Funeral Home, Cedar Rapids, and conducted by Pastor John Caughron. Bearers were Nancy's grandchildren, Taryn Meeker, Bryce Meeker, Monte Ruprecht, Mitch Ruprecht, Myles Ruprecht and Riley Ruprecht. Burial was in Shueyville Cemetery.

Memorials may be directed to Camp Courageous, 12007 190th St., Monticello, Iowa 52310 in memory of Nancy.
