Nancy Sue Thompson, 85, of Tavares, FL passed away peacefully after a
short illness on January 23, 2023. She was born in Harlan, KY on March
31, 1937, to George H. and Callie (Oliver) Thompson.

Nancy was predeceased by her parents, her brother and sister-in law
George R. and Edna Thompson. She is survived by nephew Rick
Thompson (Cherie) and nieces Donna Welch (Allen) and Mary Thomson
(Stephen) and three grandnephews and two grandnieces.

Nancy graduated with a BA from Transylvania College, Lexington, KY, and
with an MA from Indiana University where she also studied at the doctorial
level. She taught both French and German at the high school and
university levels. She was a source of inspiration and a mentor to her
students during her teaching career which began at Riverside-Brookfield
H.S. in Chicago followed by Dixie Hollins H.S. in St. Petersburg, FL. She
then moved to Orlando, FL to teach at the college level at Florida
Technological University (now UCF) when it opened in 1968 before moving
to Valencia College in Orlando, FL where she finished her teaching career.

Nancy enjoyed traveling to Europe most summers while teaching and
naturally gravitated toward France and Germany to improve her speaking
skills in those languages.

She will be missed by those whose lives she touched, especially her friends
made at church as well as her family.
