Nancy Fresquez

Born in 1932 in Minneapolis, MN to Otto and Ibel Richter, Nancy Maxine Fresquez moved to California at a young age. She grew up in Richmond, CA and met her husband Thomas at Richmond High School. Tom and Nancy married in 1952 and have been inseparable ever since. Nancy attended Armstrong Business School and worked for Kaiser Engineering for a number of years.

Nancy moved with Tom and their three children to Petaluma in 1969. She worked at Bank of Marin/Westamerica Bank for 21 years and after she retired, Nancy and Tom traveled frequently to Europe and many places within the US, enjoying the friendships they made along the way.

Nancy joined PEO Chapter UW in 2007 where she made lifelong friends and enjoyed getting together with her PEO quilt group. She also enjoyed her lunches with the SIRS women.

Nancy was a member of the St. John Lutheran Church congregation in Petaluma and was always available when called upon to provide any service necessary.

Nancy enjoyed cooking, needlepoint & crossword puzzles, but her greatest joy was spending time with her family.
