Loving Mother, Nana, and Friend


Nancy Helton Reisert Bourland, a longtime Amarillo resident, was called home to be with our Heavenly Father on July 24th.  Even though she deeply loved everyone, she looked forward to seeing her Savior and those that had gone on before her.

Nancy leaves behind two daughters who adored her.  Shannon Bourland Billey and spouse Charles Billey of Amarillo, Stacey Reisert and spouse Robin Modisette of Amarillo and an adopted daughter Sherri McDonald and spouse William McDonald of Hobart, OK.  Nancy(Nana) also leaves behind two grandchildren, Danielle Modisette Martinez and spouse Andy Martinez, Bradley Modisette and 4 adopted grandchildren Corey, Trinity, Devon and Hayden McDonald.  Nancy had one cherished great grandson, James Martinez, and is also survived by a special niece and nephew Denia James and Reece Norwood.  Nancy had many precious friends whom she loved and who loved her.

She was a talented artist who painted, quilted and created beautiful crosses.

Nancy asked that in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions be made to the ASPCA.
