Nanci J. Hartman was born the youngest daughter of Bill & Leah Hartman on Nov 7, 1963, in Chadron and passed away on September 5, 2022, at her home in Chadron .
Nanci was a people-person with a sense of humor and love of food who spent more than a decade as a chef at Chadron State College dining services.
She collected cookbooks and anything Disney Micky Mouse. Her favorite place on earth was Disneyland. She enjoyed live entertainment and rarely missed a Post Playhouse opening performance at Fort Robinson each summer.
A Nebraska girl through-and-through, Nanci had a bold sense of style and was as comfortable helping Andrew and his family on the farm as she was when she was preparing a gourmet meal or shopping with friends. She was a yard sale enthusiast who delighted in finding rare and not-so-rare treasures.
Nanci engaged the community and many will miss her laughter as well as her generous spirit. She always looked forward to holiday festivities and local events that brought family and friends together, Christmas being one of her favorites.
She was active in the Does division of the Elks Club from 1993 to 2004. As President of Does in 2002 and 2003, she attended state and national conventions. She enjoyed learning from and sharing with the older members, as well as the opportunities for travel to new places and new experiences.
Nanci embraced life with gusto and met each challenge head on, always managing to find the humor or irony in every situation.
She is survived by her partner of 17 years Andrew Scherbarth, his children Wayne & Brittany, siblings Kathy Page (Jerry), Bob Hartman (Krystyn), Sue Petracek (Jim), and 14 nieces and nephews.
Nanci was preceded in death by her parents Bill & Leah Hartman.
