Nancy Ann Schulte, 81, of Burlington, Iowa died Friday, Nov. 10, 2023, at her home.

Born Aug. 28, 1942 in Burlington, she was the daughter of Eugene Hart Nugent and Mildred Bell Gerlach Nugent.

After attending grade school in Wapello, and Washington, Iowa, the family moved to San Diego, Calif., where Nancy attended high school. Upon returning to Iowa, she finished high school at Regina High School in Iowa City. After receiving her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Iowa, she taught Spanish at Regina High School.
