A celebration of life service was held Sept. 19 in Correctionville. Arrangements were with Nicklas D. Jensen Funeral Home in Correctionville.

Nancy was born Jan. 26, 1932, in Sac City, Iowa, to Jessie (Griener) and William J. King. She graduated from high school in Sac City, and from nursing college at St. Luke's College of Health Sciences.

She married Ramon J. Flemming in 1955 in San Diego, Calif. Ramon passed away April 8, 2004, in Correctionville.

Nancy was a stay-at-home mother for many years. After raising three boys, she got her nursing degree and worked as a hospice nurse.
