Nancy Lecklider

In Loving Memory Nancy Carol Lecklider passed away at home surrounded by loved ones Wednesday December 3, 2014 at the age of 86. Born May 4, 1928 to Margaret and Harry Brubaker in Portland, Oregon. Nancy lived in every state from Alaska to California throughout her life. Nancy was fortunate to meet the love of her life, G. Robert Lecklider, in Roseburg, Oregon, at the age of 25 and married in April of 1954. A lifelong marriage that spanned nearly 61 years. Nancy led a diverse and exciting life, while raising her two children Barbara and Bradley. Nancy was a successful real estate broker, avid golfer, skier and bridge player. While living in Alaska, Nancy obtained her private pilots license at age 60 and she and her husband flew all over Alaska, as well as the Lower 48. She was an active member of the women pilots association known as The Ninety-Nines for many years. Nancy was always active in her local community, including the Hospital Guild in Klamath Falls, a volunteer Mediator for the Deschutes County Court System, local and national politics. She was passionate about politics and worked extensively with the Republican Central Committee. In fact, her one unfulfilled wish was to be around long enough to see Obama out of office. She will, just from a different perspective. Nancy was preceded in death by her parents Margaret and Harry Brubaker. She is survived by her loving husband, G. Robert (Bob) Lecklider, younger sister Judy Jiminez, daughter Barbara Lambert, son Bradley (wife Connie), granddaughters Megan Lambert (fiance Christian Paddock), and Caitlin Lambert. In addition to her beautiful great-granddaughter Kamryn Lambert, Nancy was looking forward to welcoming her 2nd great-granddaughter in April of 2015. Nancy was an ambitious, strong and dedicated wife and mother, who greatly influenced many in her family and community. She will be missed tremendously. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Partners in Care Hospice of Bend are greatly appreciated. A celebration of Nancys life is planned for spring of 2015, with details to follow.
