Nancy’s Story

Site created on July 24, 2014

As you all know, my mother, Nancy Polumbus, was recently diagnosed with stage 4 Ovarian Cancer. With such a tremendous network of family and loved ones, we thought it would be easiest to create a site where we can keep everyone posted about her progress and it will also give you an opportunity to share your comments as well. We cannot tell you how much your prayers and support mean to all of us, but especially her! She is a fighter and we all have faith in God's miracles and know she is going to be a survivor! We want to thank you in advance for loving her and keeping her in your prayers!

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Journal entry by Lindsay Condon —

Nancy Jean Polumbus passed away on April 18th, 2020 surrounded by family. She was born on February 9th, 1947 in Lawrence Kansas and graduated from Lakewood High School and the University of Kansas. Nancy was a true caregiver, passionate about her family, generous, loving, and loyal. She was always the life of the party and would strike up a conversation with anyone. She was brave and a true fighter who would sacrifice anything for those she loved. Nancy is survived by her sister, Kathy Vaughan, brother, Jeff Richey, husband, Tad Polumbus, children, Lindsay Polumbus Condon, Heather Polumbus Wennberg, and Tyler Polumbus, 14 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. She joins her parents, Jim and Betty Richey, sister, Robyn Richey, and son, Walker Polumbus in heaven.

A Celebration of her Life will be held as soon as we are able to do so in light of the current Covid-19 pandemic.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Nancy’s name to Musana Community Development Organization in Uganda : https://musana.org/donate-page/
