Nancy Lornett Kappen of Eureka Springs, Arkansas was born January 15, 1957, to Loren and Ruth (Ingmire) Oliver.
Nancy passed away January 23, 2023, in Fayetteville at the age of 66 after a long and hard fought battle with illness.
She enjoyed life to its fullest whenever she could. Her passions were traveling, photography, music, and watching the Razorbacks, but most of all, spending time with her loved ones. Whether it be on a vacation or competing together while watching Jeopardy, nothing was better to Nancy than being with her family.
She was a staunch advocate for many causes, mostly focused upon Animal, Native American, and Women’s rights. However, she was a fighter for anything she saw as being unjust.
Nancy was known for being quick witted, opinionated, tough, brave, funny, loving, and very generous. With her big personality and musical laugh, she brought a beautiful light into the lives of all who were lucky enough to know her.
December 20, 1986, Nancy was united in marriage to the love of her life, Ronald Kappen who survives her of the home. She is also survived by her daughter, Amy Kappen and husband Patrick Hogue of Fayetteville; mother, Ruth Oliver of Clifty; brothers, Danny Oliver and wife Jenny of Clifty, Dale Oliver and wife Sharon of Clifty; best friend, who was like a sister, Amy McVaugh and husband Don of Powhatan, Virginia; along with many nieces, nephews, other family members and many friends.
Nancy is preceded by her father Loren Oliver; brothers, Jimmy Oliver, Lindall Oliver.
