Nancy Breckinridge
December 5, 1925 — October 17, 2023
Nancy Bousman Breckinridge, youngest sibling and last remaining child of Robert Giles Bousman, Sr. and Nannie Mae Walker Bousman, born in Danville, VA on December 5, 1925, passed away October 17, 2023 in Naples, Florida.
Her golf games with Arnold Palmer and Bob Hope’s wife, ‘D’, were legendary; her coordination of the snowbird women golfers at Eagle Creek Golf & Country Club was welcomed and well appreciated; her orchid garden was admired; and her Christmas trees were annually newsworthy!
She graduated from George Washington High School in Danville, VA and never looked back. Her life and marriages took her to Hawaii, California, New York City, and finally to Eagle Creek Golf & Country Club in Naples, FL, where she lived most of the last 34 years.
She is survived by her daughter, Dr. Nancy Karol Kulik, a writer and event organizer, who lives in Lyme Regis in England. She was predeceased by 10 siblings – Travis Cameron Bousman; Robert Giles Bousman, Jr.; Doris Mae Bousman; Lolene Ziegler B. Singleton; Woodrow Wilson Bousman; Georgia Davis B. Gourley; Charlotte Matilda (Tillie) B. Turbiville; William Jennings Bousman; Henry Murray Bousman, Sr.; and Carlton Walker Bousman, Sr. . She was an aunt to 20 nieces and nephews. She was also predeceased by husbands Captain Adam Peter Kulik, Dr. George J. Towne, Nelson Sykes, and John S. Breckinridge, Jr.
Special thanks are due to Dottie Bryant, Nancy’s ‘best bud’, and Catherine McMenamim, her caregiver the past six years, for their friendship and for going well beyond the call of duty on many occasions to see that Nancy’s needs were met.
A Graveside Service will be held in Highland Burial Park on Saturday, November 18, 2023, at 11:00 AM with Tom Millner, a relative of family members, officiating.
