Nancy was a lifelong resident of Kansas City and was born on April 3, 1942 to Jerry Dickens Coleman and Mary Wilana Burkhardt Coleman. She was very outgoing as a cheerleader and homecoming queen at Southeast High School where she graduated. After graduation she met her future husband Richard Barry Weeks while on vacation in Noel, MO. One of their favorite memories was pulling off the road and dancing to some of their favorite tunes. Nancy and Barry were married 59 years and raised 4 children, 5 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. Through her life she continued to enjoy sports and love to cheer for KU basketball and the KC Royals.

Nancy’s greatest joy was her family and her passion for children. She was very involved in her 4 children’s lives and never missed a game or school activity.
