Nancy Louise Culbert

Nancy Louise Culbert, Our beloved Nancy, Mom, Nancel, Mauser, Grandma, and Mamu passed away on March 15, 2023 in Eden Prairie, MN. Our hearts are full of the fond memories and unconditional love she gave us. Nancy was born to Dr. Floyd and Norma Kloepfer in Dayton, Ohio on May 1, 1936. She attended Ohio University (where she was in Zeta Tau Alpha) and met the love of her life, Dave Culbert. She graduated from Miami-Jacobs College in secretarial studies and business administration. Dave and Nancy married in 1959, celebrating their 64th anniversary in January this year. Shortly after their marriage, they moved to Bunker Hill Air Force Base in Peru, Indiana. After Dave's service, they moved to Bloomington, Indiana where Dave attended law school at Indiana University and Nancy worked as an administrative assistant at the University. After law school, they relocated to Minneapolis and raised their family in Edina. Nancy spent the majority of her career serving children with disabilities for the Edina School District. She saw the possibilities in everyone and focused on the abilities of these children who were like family to her. In addition, Nancy was committed to and served as a member of the DH Chapter of PEO and, together with Dave, was actively involved in the Zuhrah Shrine. Dave and Nancy had three children and four Yorkshire Terriers. Her support and commitment to her family was steadfast and like no other, and her greatest joy was being with her family and dogs. Nancy demonstrated caring, compassion, kindness, and understanding every day of her life and shared these qualities with everyone she touched. Nancy had many fond memories of the cabin on Big Sandy Lake. This 1922 unremodeled "camping" cabin was, according to Dave, "purchased only for an investment opportunity and wouldn't be used." The cabin became a fishing, water skiing, and socializing haven with family and friends (and dogs) every summer weekend for many years. Nancy was a devoted hockey mom attending hers sons' numerous games over the years and creating many lasting friendships in the process. Her accurate premonitions on the outcomes of games was legendary, including the most recent State tournament. Nancy is survived by her devoted husband, Dave, and her three children, Lori Hough (David), Steven Culbert (Amy), and John Culbert (Erin); her seven grandchildren Nicole Hough (fiancé Tyler), Kelli Hough, Matthew Hough (Sarah), and Clay, Caitlin, Evan and Nolan Culbert; her sister Judy Peters (Doug), and several nieces and nephews. Nancy will be welcomed into heaven by her beloved parents, Dr. Floyd and Norma Kloepfer. A special thanks to her caregivers, all of whom she appreciated and loved dearly, at Prairie Bluffs Senior Living in Eden Prairie and Brighton Hospice. Memorials are preferred to the Humane Society of Golden Valley in Golden Valley, MN and Normandale Center for Healing and Wholeness in Edina, MN. A memorial service for Nancy will be held 2pm, Sunday, April 2nd with visitation from 1-2pm and reception to follow the service at: Washburn-McReavy.com Edina Chapel 952-920-3996 5000 W 50th & Hwy 100
