Nancy Louise (Temm) Burbach

April 11, 1951 – June 16, 2026

It is with profound sadness and deep love that we announce the passing of Nancy Louise Burbach (nee Temm) who departed peacefully on June 16, 2026, after a courageous and determined battle with cancer.

Born on April 11, 1951 in St.  Louis, MO, Nancy lived a life defined by kindness, strength, and unwavering devotion to her family. She faced every challenge with grace and resilience, inspiring those around her with her courage and determination. Even throughout her illness, she remained a source of comfort, hope, and love for everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Nancy was a devoted mother and grandmother and dear friend to many. Her son, granddaughter, extended family and cherished friends, who became family, were the center of her world, and she dedicated her life to nuturing, supporting, and encouraging them. He love knew no bounds, and her guidance, wisdom, and gentle spirit will continue to live on in their hearts forever.

She found joy in life’s simple blessings- time spent with family, sharing laughter around the dinner table, celebrating milestones, and creating cherished memories with those she loved. She never missed an opportunity for a game of Bunco, delighting in the camaraderie as much as the competition, and with a smile, claimed victory in the final game she played. And, as a devoted fan, we know she will be cheering on her beloved Kansas City Chiefs from Heaven. Whether the curtain was rising at The Fox Theatre, or under the stars at The Muny, she was happiest enjoying the magic of live theatre, a passion she embraced as a longtime season ticket holder. Her warm smile, compassionate heart, and generous nature touched countless lives and left an enduring impact on her family, friends, and community.

Nancy is survived by her son, Timothy (Mariguita), granddaughter, Olivia, sister, Patricia (David) Hooge and other relatives and extended family, and beloved friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard Burbach.

Though cancer ultimately claimed her life, it never diminished her spirit. She fought with remarkable bravery and dignity, teaching all who knew her the true meaning of perseverance, hope, and unconditional love.

A celebration of Nancy’s life will be held on Monday, June 22, 2026 at 11:00 am at the Church of the Annunziata. Visitation will immediately precede the Mass at 10:30 am. Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance of a woman whose love was immeasurable and whole legacy will endure through the lives she touched.

Because Nancy loved flowers, her garden and her golf-course-quality lawn, the family welcomes floral arrangements in her memory, which may be sent to Church of Annunziata, 9305 Clayton Road, St. Louis, MO 63124. Memorial donations may also be made to Evelyn’s House in her memory.

Forever loved, deeply missed, and never forgotten.
