Nancy Marie George

Nancy Marie George, 51, was surrounded by her loving family when she passed away Thursday evening, July 21, 2016, in Spokane, Washington. Nancy was born November 7, 1964, in Grand Coulee, Washington to Harold and Barbara Wapato-George Sr. A proud member of the Colville Confederated Tribes, Nancy lived out her strong belief that one should daily give others at least 10 percent of their time. Nancy had served as a teacher's aide; however, her greatest joy was all about spending time with her family, especially her grandkids. The "Queen of Clean," Nancy had many sides: as a creative artist working in various crafts, flowers and crocheting; a lover of adventure, fast cars and road trips; an avid collector of any item which caught her eye – usually from garage sales, as well as being a bit of a "Grease Monkey" tinkering with car engines.

Predeceased by her daughter, Early Dawn George; mother, Barbara Wapato-George; and brother, William Dean George; Nancy's legacy lives on through her father, Harold George Sr .; significant other, Michael E. Clark; children: Cassandra George (Robert Hahn II), Darryle George, Kennedy George, Kenndra George (Michael Desautel), Kenneth George and Damion George; grandchildren: Robert Hahn III, Silvia Hahn, Teresa Hahn, Nya Hahn and Lincoln Everybodytalksabout; siblings: Darrly Moulton, Regina Wippel, Perry Moulton, Robert Moulton, Harold George, Sterling George Sr. and Louise Jake, as well as many, many nephews and nieces.
