Nancy Leola Oltrogge entered this world on November 4, 1952 with her twin brother Neil.

Nancy was raised in Ballantine, Montana and lived her life there surrounded by her family. She passed away in Missoula, Montana on the evening of October 29th with family holding her hands praying with her and celebrating her peaceful passage after an extended illness.
Nancy graduated from Huntley Project Schools in 1971. She spent her life as a caregiver. Nancy’s greatest enjoyment in life was visiting with family and friends, spending time at picnics, holiday gatherings, and birthdays, and she especially enjoyed time spent taking her niece’s and nephews on twilight drives she called “night frights”. Her friendships reached around the world, and as close as the morning coffee gathering and bible study that filled her life with friendship and camaraderie.
Nancy was a vivacious, kind woman who will be missed by all who loved her. We will miss her laughter and the wonderful quirky sense of humor she brought into our lives.

My true condolences to the whole Oltrogge family. I was just now told and I am truly sorry for your loss. I did not get to know her tho I knew some of her special family. From what I read I wish I was fortunate to have known her as well. My prayer are with you Neil, Doug, and Rita. Your kids as well. I can’t recall their names anymore. This memory thing isn’t getting better with age either. Love and Prayers guys.
