Nancy Delia Ordonez - Reinoso Obituary (1938 - 2020)

Nancy Delia Mercedes Reinoso Caicedo de Ordonez, 82, of Dayton, Ohio, passed away because of illness on July 29, 2020, surrounded by her husband and sons. She was born in 1938 to parents Carlos Reinoso and Olga Caicedo in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Nancy graduated from Guayaquil Girl's High School in 1956 and finished her Civil Engineering studies at the University of Guayaquil in 1963. She married Gonzalo Aurelio Ordonez in 1963. Nancy is survived by her husband Gonzalo, her sons and their respective wives Ivan and Nancy, Gonzalo Jr. and Guadalupe, and Raul and Susanne; her former daughter in law Junko; her grandchildren Amara, Diego, Kaito and David; her sister Mercedes; her brother Galo and his wife Dominique; her nephews Carlos and Eric, and her sisters in law Alba, Teresa and Sonia. She was predeceased by her mother Olga and her father Carlos. Nancy enjoyed poetry and grammar and also made delicious soups, and was always caring for her family. From a young age her dream was to live in the U.S. She often said how glad she was she could settle here with her husband. She was proud that each one of her three sons got a Ph. D., and was never shy to mention it. She was the most loving wife, mother and grandmother. Her warmth, devotion and her unfailing smile will always be a treasure for all who knew her; likewise, her strength, endurance and integrity are an ongoing source of inspiration. A private visitation was held on July 30th, 2020. Instead of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Hospice of Dayton, Inc., 324 Wilmington Ave, Dayton, OH 45420.
