Nancy Jill Sayre

She is preceded in death by her mom, Arvilla “Billie” Olson and son, Tim Sayre.

She is survived by her loving family: daughters Mindy Sayre of St.Paul and Debbie Sayre; grandchildren, Amanda, Alicia (Nick), Brandon (Brittnee), Tyler (Jordan), Marissa (Chris), and Makenzie; and great grandchildren, Kyle (Maddie), Chase, Keilani, Kylie, Kate, Brooks, Boston, Ava, Landon, and Adalynn.

Nancy leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and unforgettable charm. Known for her massive heart and quick wit, she was a loving presence to everyone around her and those who knew her.

Life with her was always an adventure. She loved going to the casino, shopping trips (even if she ultimately returned almost everything she bought), loved cooking and baking and we will never forget her bacon spaghetti. She enjoyed spending time with her wonderful family and friends in Hudson, WI. She was a passionate sports fan who never missed a chance to cheer for the MN Twins or the Green Bay Packers. She loved and adored spending time with her family. Above all, she will be remembered for her infectious humor, her joy in giving and receiving arm and back scratches, and always saying “say whiskey” when taking a photo.

She will be forever missed by everyone. She was such a special person in our lives.

The family would like to recognize the wonderful care she received from the Nurses, Aides, and Staff at Ecumen North Branch, the Ecumen Hospice team recognizing Briana and Holly, Rosie (granddaughter), and her many friends there who cared for her with such heart and grace, and the compassion they showed Nancy in her final days.

Also a special thank you to the Neptune Society of MN.
