Nancy Lee (née Ball) Hale

Nancy Lee (née Ball) Hale, 87, beloved mother and grandmother passed away peacefully under the care of Abode Hospice on May 5, 2025, in Pueblo. She had long endured the ill affects of COPD and heart disease.

Survived by her two children, Cary Hale of Denver, Colo., and Vicki Johnson of Ogden, Utah; and grandson, Jacob Pleasant of Provo, Utah.

Preceded in death by her husband, James Hale; and her first born grandson, Zachary Rostad. Nancy was born in Pueblo, Colo. on Nov. 5, 1937, and attended Pueblo Central High School. After high school, she worked at CF&I, Mountain Bell, and was a member of the National Realtors Association.

Nancy and her husband, Jim, lived in Sunrise, Wyoming, Cedar City, Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, and finally moved back to Pueblo in 2003. She enjoyed homemaking, gardening, cooking, planning home improvement projects and she enthusiastically volunteered at PAWS for Life in Pueblo. Nancy was voted vice chair-woman of the Platte County Republican Party while living in Sunrise, Wyoming and she remained active in the Republican Party throughout her life. She adored her pets and grandsons who endearingly referred to her as “Zsa Zsa” for her love of beautiful things and to the boys, she was “fabulous!”

Nancy requested that there be no formal service. Memorials may be made in her name to PAWS for Life, 800 N. Pueblo Blvd., Pueblo, CO. 81003. Online condolences, www.MontgomerySteward.com
