Nancy Nadine (Reid) Kaiser

Nancy Nadine (Reid) Kaiser, 68, of Buena Vista, went home to be with the Lord, on December 12th, 2023.

She is survived by her husband Russell Kaiser, her brothers Dale Reid and Randy Reid, her sister Cheryl Johnson, her daughters Karen (Barry) White and Heather (Matthew) Simpson, and her granddaughters Ashlee White, Bobbie White, Mckenna Simpson, and Kendall Simpson. 

On June 8th, 1974, Russell and Nancy married in Leadville, Colorado and began their 49 year journey. Together they raised two girls while owning and operating the Pinon Court Motel of Buena Vista. After a few jobs around town, helping the community, she began her most notable job at Collegiate Peaks Bank as the Head Bank Teller (Mama Nancy). During her 18 year long career, Nancy became a pillar in the community through her positive interactions, handing out “dumdum” suckers, dressing up for Gold Rush Days, and being voted Teller of the Year for multiple years. Aside from her career, her most important job was being the centerpiece of the family and bringing everyone together. 

Nancy loved the Lord and embodied the belief and values of her faith.
