Nancy Sue (Ward) Napier

Nancy Sue Napier (1934-2025) was a member of a very large family that extended from coast
to coast, and all parts in between. She was predeceased by her six siblings Roy, Art, Louise,
Teddy, Jean and Pat. Nancy was the last of her siblings and we can only hope that she was
met by them at Louise's kitchen table ready to play cards.
She was preceded in death by her first husband, Fred K Pearson in 1983. She then married
Brian Napier, her high school sweetheart and the love of her life. They had 37 adventurous
years together before he passed away in 2017.
Nancy loved to work in her studio, beading, weaving, making elaborate cards and practicing
calligraphy. She was also a voracious reader. Nancy was fiercely intelligent, and "did not suffer
fools gladly."
She is survived by her three children, grandchildren, and great grand children, and numerous
nieces, nephews and cherished friends.
Children: Tracy Pearson-Martinez (Chris), David Pearson (Patty) and Kristy Flagel (Jeffrey)
Grandchildren: Dana Martinez (Lynette), Russell Martinez (Melissa), Clayton Martinez (Jerrica),
Avery Pearson (Nicole), Ariel Blackwell (Sam), Anrai Pearson, Ryan Piluzza (Rebecca), and Tyler
Piluzza (Callie)
Great Grandchildren: Mila Martinez, Daxton Martinez, Lexi Martinez, Tyler Martinez, Wyatt
Martinez, Lyla Martinez, Nolan Richardson, Ira Blackwell, Indie Blackwell, Jack Piluzza,
Bowman Piluzza, and Oakes Piluzza.
To honor our mothers memory, please read a good book, visit a museum, pick up seashells, or
marvel at the beautiful New Mexico sky.
