Nancy Lucille Bleckley Erwin, 92, was born on June 28, 1933, in Topeka, Kansas, and went peacefully to be with the Lord on Thursday, January 22, 2026.
Nancy was a devoted wife, mother, and homemaker who lovingly raised four children and faithfully supported her husband throughout his military career. As the wife of Major General Dean Erwin of the United States Air Force, she traveled the world, building a warm and steady home for her family wherever they were stationed. Her life was marked by deep faith, kindness, and service to others. A lifelong church member, Nancy served faithfully in many roles, led countless individuals to the Lord, and found great joy in singing in the church choir. She was an active member of Mangum Methodist Church over a span of 50 years, where her presence and dedication touched many lives.
Nancy was preceded in death by her parents, Clarence and Lucille Bleckley; her sister, Dorothy; and her beloved husband, Dean.
She is survived by her children: sons Mike (wife Amy), Jeff (wife Lisa), and Tom (wife Stacy), and daughter Carol (husband Carl); along with nine grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren, all of whom brought her tremendous pride and joy.
