With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Nancy Jane (Kuecker) Henrickson on Sunday, April 20, 2025. Nancy passed peacefully at her beloved lake home, surrounded by her devoted husband and children.

Born on September 4, 1964, in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Nancy was the daughter of Duane and Jacqueline (Major) Kuecker. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse with a Bachelor's degree in Finance. She met and married Alan Henrickson. Together, they built a beautiful life and raised two children, Dylan and Marisa.

Nancy dedicated over 32 years of service as an Air Traffic Controller at Gerald R. Ford International Airport, a role she performed with pride and precision. She was also a proud member of MENSA, a reflection of her brilliant mind. Upon retirement, she embraced a life of tranquility and joy, surrounded by the things she loved most.

Nancy found happiness in caring for her beloved German Shepherds, cats, and peacocks. Her lake home was her sanctuary, where she cherished pontoon rides, watching the sunset, and hosting loved ones for meals and laughter. An avid viewer of cooking shows and an excellent baker, Nancy found her greatest joy in the simple moments—spending time with her husband and children.

Nancy will be deeply missed, and leaves behind a legacy of love, hard work, compassion, and commitment rarely seen.

She is survived by her loving husband, Alan Henrickson; her children, Marisa (Justin) Brenner and Dylan (Ciera) Henrickson; and her siblings, Liza Kuecker (Tom Hulse), Kathy Kuecker, Dave Kuecker, and Dan (Ronda) Kuecker.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Duane and Jacqueline (Major) Kuecker.

A graveside service will be held on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, at 11:15 a.m. at the Sheep of the Good Shepherd Cemetery, located at 1380 22nd Street, Otsego, MI 49078.
