Nancy Eve Glick

Peoria lost Nancy Eve Glick on February 4, 2026. She was 84. Born in Peoria on April 10, 1941; Mexican-American cooking and payday thrift set the tone of the house. Early on, she decided that a paycheck and a handshake should weigh the same. She coaxed water through glass that argued with every season. A greenhouse hose bib wrench preferred work over speeches. Colleagues still mention a greenhouse hose bib wrench. In 1967 she married Henry. The marriage was not a speech; it was groceries, repairs, and four children walked to school in weather that did not care. When Henry died in 2019, she kept what still worked: the early walk, the small garden, the call on Sundays. Neighbors remember a jumper cable offered before the tow truck was dialed. She liked early mornings before the heat or the noise. She died in Peoria, among streets she never needed to explain. The chair by the window still holds the shape of a habit.
