Nancy Fountain

SUN PRAIRIE, Wis. — Nancy Fountain, 82, passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by her loving family, on Monday, September 23, 2019.

She was born on May 6, 1937, daughter of Bert and Sara (Koljonen) Taylor. Nancy was born and raised in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. After her June 1955 graduation from Houghton High School, Nancy had her first job as a secretary for the local Power Company.

On August 1, 1959, she married her former spouse, Jack Fountain. They lived in Green Bay for a few years but made Sun Prairie their home in 1972. Nancy helped in the family business before starting her 26 year secretary career with the Sun Prairie Business Office for the school system until her retirement in December 2004.

Nancy was a member of St. Albert the Great Catholic Church. Nancy enjoyed knitting, crafting, jig saw puzzles, coloring, and reading; although, playing cards was her favorite and she was always willing to learn a new card game! She was an avid fan of the Packers, Badgers and Brewers. But most of all, she loved spending time with her family. Nancy was fondly known as the “Pin Lady” as she always wore a pin to coordinate with her outfit. We loved seeing which one she would be wearing that day.

She was preceded in death by her siblings, Bob Taylor, Jean; and husband, Bob Immonen.

She is survived by her three children, Julie Stover, Jeff (Lisa) Fountain and Mike (Jenny) Fountain; her beloved four grandchildren, Taylor Stover, Andy Stover, Ryan Fountain and Casey Fountain; her siblings, Chris (Mac) McLaughlin; and many friends and family.

A celebration of Nancy’s life will be held on Friday, September 27, 2019, at 11 a.m. at Tuschen-Newcomer Funeral Home, 302 Columbus St, Sun Prairie.

Visitation at the funeral home will start at 10 a.m.

Burial will take place at Lake View Cemetery in Calumet.
