Nancy Myers Galeta

Born May 12, 1948, to the late Dorthy and Paul Elliott, she lived a life of faith, family, friendship, and love.

She shared 27 wonderful years with her beloved husband, Richard “Dick” Galeta, building a life of laughter, companionship, and cherished memories. Though Dick preceded her in death, their love endured.

She called Florida home for 45 years and took great pride in her career at the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s Office. She retired as a Specialist, and was well respected for her extraordinary work ethic and dedication.

Affectionately nicknamed “Fancy Nancy,” she was always impeccably dressed, with a professional style unmistakably her own.

Devoted to her church community and Bible study fellowship, she served as treasurer on the board and formed treasured friendships. She loved sharing laughter, conversation, and spirited games of Rummikub with friends.

She went above and beyond in every role, but being a grandmother brought her some of her greatest joys. She adored her grandsons, John and David. By age two, they would call Nanny on Skype themselves! Across the miles, she spent hours reading to them, building a lasting bond and treasured memories. Her granddogs, Daisy and Zena, also held special places in her heart.

She was immensely proud of the military service of her husband, Dick, and her son, Mark. Her passing on Veterans Day was especially meaningful. This coming summer, she will be laid to rest beside Dick at Arlington National Cemetery, reunited with the love of her life.

She is lovingly remembered by her children, Mark and his wife Claudia, and Christine; her grandsons, John and David; her siblings, Juanita, Doris, and Paul; and the many friends and extended family whose lives she touched.

Despite health challenges in her final years, her beautiful life and generous love endure. We take comfort knowing she is at peace, whole again, and reunited with loved ones.

We will remember her beautiful smile, unwavering faith, impeccable style, and, above all, her love for her family.

Until we meet again.
