It is with great sadness we inform you of the sudden passing of Nancy Jane Rafuse, beloved mother, sister and friend on June 19, 2022. She was 79 years old.
Predeceased by her husband David and many brothers and
sisters, Nancy is survived by her 4 children, Tom (Fred) Rafuse, Shawna Rafuse, Ian Rafuse, and John Rafuse; her grandchildren; and her siblings and family in New Brunswick.
Nancy spent her working life at White Hall Daycare in Edmonton, where she built many lifelong relationships with the children she cared for. Many of them often referred to her as “Miss Nancy”!
Nancy’s biggest passion was wrestling. Passing this passion to her boys, she loved the whole wrestling world! Friday nights were spent with John watching wrestling, and no one will ever forget her presence as she cheered her son Ian on as a referee and heckled the wrestlers of RCW on a weekly basis! Her seat will forever be seated around the RCW ring and her memory will live on FOREVER!
A celebration of life will be held Tuesday, July 19, 2022 at Abbotsfield Recreation Center from 7-9 pm
Kk’s wwe theme song popped in my head today randomly…. Listened to it and was having a good vibe until I remembered Nancy and how her favourite wrestler at the time when I was in daycare was Kofi Kingston…. Devastating to say the least…. Even years after daycare i would see her in Abbottsfeild mall having coffee with her friends.
I am so sorry I just found out about Nancy she has always been so kind to me I’ve known the family since I was 14… REST IN PEACE xoxo
