LANSING, IOWA – Nancy A. Wortman, age 73, passed away on Friday, July 11, 2025, in LaCrosse, with her loving husband, Darrel, by her side.

Nancy was born on April 29, 1952, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the daughter of Richard “Dick” and Mary (Fritz) Konen.  She had worked for many years managing several travel agencies, and she loved to travel.  Nancy was married on November 12, 1983, to Darrel Wortman.  Together they had many adventures and wonderful times and made many wonderful friends over 42 years.  She enjoyed travel, music, entertaining, socializing, maintaining close friendships, organizing parties, and BLING!  Nancy was gracious, elegant, compassionate, generous, effervescent, fun loving, and always full of joy and optimism. She could engage with anyone and make them feel comfortable.  Nancy brought brightness to whatever she was involved with and everyone who knew her loved her.  She will be sadly missed by many, many people.
