Nancy Breitbarth
August 5, 1944 – July 16, 2025
Nancy Breitbarth, of Blaine, WA, passed away in Carlsbad, CA, on July 16 after a brief battle with ovarian cancer. Nancy grew up in Southern California and graduated from Cal Poly Pomona. She met her husband Lary working at a summer internship for General Dynamics, where both of their fathers worked. They married in 1966 in Ontario, CA.
Nancy worked as a social worker as well as in a variety of healthcare office settings. Nancy was very crafty, and she started her own successful children’s clothing business, called Pumpkin Patch, before joining Lary’s dental practice as his Office Manager. Lary and Nancy moved to Blaine in 1998.
During their retirement years, they cruised around the San Juan and Gulf islands in their boat, and traveled throughout the world regularly. She especially loved Spain and Norway. Nancy also enjoyed quilting and cooking for friends and family.
She is survived by her husband Lary, her children Christian and Chelsea, their spouses Julie and Chris, and her granddaughters Riley and Ashlyn. The family will not be holding a service, but would be honored if donations were made to the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance (ocrahope.org) in her name.
