Nancy J. Heritier

Heritier, Mrs. Nancy Jean Saginaw, Michigan It was a warm and sunny day on June 9th, 1952, when Nancy Jean Weir entered this world. She was born to William and Marlene (Schmidt) Weir at 8:09 AM. Nancy grew up attending local Saginaw schools. Upon graduation from Arthur Hill High School, she gained employment at the then-Second National Bank, downtown Saginaw. She worked her way up to the position of supervisor, which she held for many years eventually retiring after 25 years of service. On May 25th, 1972, two lives changed forever when Nancy met the love of her life, Thomas L. (Tom) Heritier. They were married in July of 1974. They have been together for 44 wonderful years. Even more joy was added when Matthew was born in 1981. Two-and-a-half years later Tracy Lynn was born. Nancy was a loving devoted mother. Her family always came first. Nancy always maintained a positive attitude and worked to inspire her children. Nancy was awarded a beautiful grandson, Christian T. Walker. For the past four years it was “Gamma” who watched and cared for him. If there was ever a role model for a grandmother, Nancy was it! When Nancy found out that she had cancer, she never wavered, never complained and kept a positive attitude right up to the end. Nancy’s sunset was August 21, 2016. Nancy is survived by her husband, Tom; son, Matthew; daughter, Tracy Walker; grandson, Christian Walker; son-in-law, Steve Walker; a very close sister, Kay Williams; a brother-in-law, Ken Heritier; her father, William Weir (Ida); half-sisters, Melanie Davis and Lucy Walk. Nancy was a member of the Saginaw Field & Stream Club. Nancy’s family would like to thank the staff at Covenant Cooper Emergency Room and the staff in the ICU at Covenant Harrison for their valiant attempt in trying to save Nancy’s life! According to Nancy’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A memorial service will take place at 11:00 AM on Saturday, August 27, 2016, at the Wakeman Funeral Home, Inc. 1218 N. Michigan Ave., Saginaw. The family will be present from 9:00 AM until the time of service. In lieu of flowers please consider the Saginaw Field & Stream Club Building Fund.
