A beautiful blue-eyed baby girl was born to Katherine Barbieri Fruzza and Jimmie Fruzza on July 17, 1940. Fittingly, her name was Nancy Joy. She was a lifelong resident of Weed, California, attending Weed Elementary and Weed High School before acceptance to UC Berkeley with honors in 1958 where she was a biochemistry major. Nancy married the love of her life, David Lemos of Weed, in 1961 at the Holy Family Parish. Their close-knit family grew with the births of their three children to whom they were unfailingly devoted. Nancy worked for the City of Weed as a clerk and police dispatcher; she later became the manager of the College of the Siskiyous bookstore and retired after 18 years. Her courtesy toward students and staff, along with exemplary accounting skills, made her a natural fit for the position, which she enjoyed immensely.
