Roy Nussbaumer, 70, passed away March 6, 2022, at Brewster Village, Appleton, after struggling much of his life with physical and mental illnesses.
Roy was born on May 12, 1951, and was baptized at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Winneconne on June 24, 1951. In the first years of life, he was hospitalized often for high fevers and convulsions. He stabilized in his middle grades and enjoyed family trips to eight states. At age 13, Roy was diagnosed with schizophrenia and spent Eighth and Ninth Grade receiving treatment at Winnebago State Hospital. He returned to Omro High School for his Tenth Grade, then worked at the UW-Oshkosh Food Service, Westhaven Golf Club, and at other companies. He was confirmed at Omro’s Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church in June of 1966, and completed a G.E.D. on July 21, 1978.
During his lifetime, Roy lived in Omro, Oshkosh, Green Bay, and in Appleton, where he resided in several apartments, at the Villa Phoenix group home, at ManorCare and at Brewster Village.
Roy is survived by his brother Ralph (Maribeth) Nussbaumer of Oshkosh, nephew Blake Nussbaumer of Waukesha, niece Courtney Nussbaumer of Minneapolis, cousins and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Marvin and Bernice Nussbaumer of Omro, and a stillborn sister, Rose Ann.

I was sorry to read of Nancy's death. It has been many years since we followed our girls around to soccer tournaments, but I always enjoyed visiting with Nancy at the games. My sympathy in your loss.

To Nancy's family, you have my deepest condolences.
Nancy gave me a chance to volunteer with her in the IVT, and when she was ready to retire, she asked me to take care of her "baby". It's an honor I've been blessed with for nearly 20 years.
She changed my life. Volunteering with her, I've met so many people who have become friends and family to me. People I would never have met otherwise.
She was very well-respected by so many people around the world, and she will be missed by all of us.
With sympathy,
Michel Bryson

My deepest condolences for Nancy's family. I met Nancy first time in EAA International Visitors Tent in 1985 or 1986. I was at EAA convention and heard announcements to welcome the EAA Visitors in different languages. I didn't hear my language, Indonesia. I stopped by at the IVT and met Nancy and Barbro and asked why there's no Indonesian language. A year after, I came back to Oshkosh and volunteered at IVT. I've been volunteering since. Shellbe missed. So sorry for your lost.
