Nancy Pilon-Fong Reid, June 23, 1948 - March 31, 2017
A Celebration of Life for Nancy will be held on Saturday, May 13, at 2pm at the New Life Church, 6830 Highland Dr., Everett.
Nancy Jo (Pilon) Fong, age 68, passed away on March 31, 2017, after a long battle with melanoma cancer. Nancy was born June 23, 1948, in Port Angeles and grew up in Alderwood Manor where her parents, Everett and Jesse Pilon, ran the Country Bakery and Café. She graduated from Meadowdale High School, 1966. She attended Everett Community College and earned a Medical Assistant AA degree.
After a brief career in the medical field, Nancy raised four children and volunteered in her churches. She was an avid fisherwoman, Seahawks and Mariners fan, a member of MOPARS Unlimited Car Club of Seattle, and the Meadowdale Class of ’66 Reunion Committee. She loved to travel and seek new adventures.
She is predeceased by her parents, her sister Susan (Pilon) Terry, and former husband Yung Fong, Jr. She is survived by her sister Melissa Anderson of Everett; daughters Melinda Merkt of Marysville, Amanda Clapper of Everett, DeDe Heggem (Peter) of Lake Stevens; son Joe Clapper of Everett; six grandchildren and one great grandchild; and partner George A. Reid, Jr., of Marysville.
A private family graveside service will be held at Floral Hills, Lynnwood; arrangements with Purdy and Walters. A Celebration of Life will be held later this spring. In lieu of flowers, donations in Nancy's memory can be made to Commemorative Giving, Seattle Children’s Hospital and Research Foundation, PO Box 5371, Seattle, WA 98145-5005.

I am very sorry to read of this. We had several long email conversations about her melanoma. I am so sorry that claimed her. My condolences go out to George and the family. It is a sad loss.

My sincere condolances to friends and family. I remember Nancy and it's sad to see her leave us so soon. I'm so very sorry for her passing.

I'm afraid I had no idea how serious Nancy's melonoma was! She did seem uncertain about whether or not she'd be able to attend the reunion in September, but when she did and she looked great, I thought she was doing fine. What a shock! I'm just so very, very sorry, George. I'm praying for comfort and peace for you and her family and friends.
Jeanne Robinson (Birchell-Spencer)
My prayers go to you and your family. May her memory be carried in your heart.

I am so sorry to hear this. I remember the 47th reunion when Nancy was so excited to reconnect with George. I know she will be missed, but I am so glad the two of you had each other these past three years. God Bless You. Patty
