Nancy L. Finken, 75, of Johnson Lake, Nebraska, passed away on Wednesday, August 7, 2024, at her home in Johnson Lake.
She was born on May 7, 1949, in Minneapolis, Minnesota to Herman and Lenora (Klungseth) Falldin. She attended Prospect High School where she graduated with the class of 1967. Nancy was united in marriage to William F Boston. The couple were blessed with a son, Anthony. The marriage would later end in divorce. Nancy found love again with Gerald "Jerry" Finken. The couple was united in marriage on December 24, 1977. They made their home in Palatine and Cary, Illinois where she continued to work as a cosmetologist. In 2001, the couple relocated to Johnson Lake, Nebraska where Nancy worked at the Lakeshore Marina.
Nancy was a social butterfly who loved being around others and sharing stories. She loved spending time with her friends while she worked at the marina and being at the golf course. In their younger years, Nancy and Jerry loved having horses and going on weekend horseback riding excursions with friends. She has always had a special love for animals and enjoyed the company of dogs the most.
Those left to cherish her memory are her son, Tony (Ginger) Boston of Crystal Lake, Illinois, sister Shirley Varney of Ham Lake, Minnesota, brother and sister-in-law Dan and Karen Finken of Johnson Lake, as well as extended family and many special friends.
Besides her parents, Nancy was preceded in death by her husband, Jerry.
