Nancy Gospill Obituary

We celebrate the life of Nancy H. Gospill; born November 13, 1928 and passed away October 11, 2008. She was married to John B. Gospill in 1950 in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Nancy was a resident of Colorado Springs since 1972 and taught at Russell Junior High until her retirement in 1989. She also volunteered for more than a decade at Pikes Peak Humane Society fulfilling her lifelong love of animals. She felt the love of her children was her greatest success in life and thoroughly enjoyed sharing life experiences with her family. Her independent nature combined with her love of knowledge and reading inspired her to encourage others to look for new adventures. She was preceded in death by her husband John in 1998. She is survived by her three children; Susan Gospill of Palm Coast, Florida; Janie Majeske (Hank) of Colorado Springs, Colorado; Jay Gospill of Alameda, California and her grandson Tom Gospill. A private memorial service was held Thursday. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in her memory to one of the following organizations: Pikes Peak Hospice and Palliative Care, 825 E. Pikes Peak Ave., Suite 600, Colorado Springs, CO 80903 or Cheyenne Mountain Zoo c/o: Angel Fund 4250 Cheyenne Mountain Zoo Road, Colorado Springs, Co 80906

To only have met Nancy one time at Thanksgiving '07, I feel I met a wonderful woman whose life was an inspiration to those she came in contact with. She will be missed by those who knew, loved and met her. My condolences to Jane and her siblings.
