Altoona

Nancy S. Polson, 75, was born August 12, 1940, the daughter of Ruth A. Dyer of Altoona and Lloyd Polson. She passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 3, 2015.

Nancy was born and raised in Des Moines and spent most of her life in the surrounding area. She was a graduate of East High School, Class of 1959, where she enjoyed being a Majorette. Nancy was named Miss Des Moines in the 1959 KSO Iowa Beauty Contest. She was and always will be a true beauty.

She married John Soutter in 1960 and had two children. They raised their family on the Eastside of Des Moines. Nancy was also a “California Girl” visiting her family in California all of her life. The Soutters spent many weekends at Rathbun Lake camping and boating as a family and taking vacations traveling across the country.

Nancy enjoyed doing puzzles, crocheting, playing solitaire, and laying in the sun soaking up the rays. She was known for her delicious peanut brittle and always made it during the holiday season. Nancy loved Elvis Presley, and was able to visit Graceland with her husband. She also enjoyed gospel music. Above all, Nancy treasured her family, grandchildren, and all her dogs.

Nancy is survived by her mother, Ruth A. Dyer; son, Mark Soutter (wife, Lola) and their son, Connor; daughter, Robin Borich (husband, Tony) and their children, Amy and Anthony (wife, Chelsea). She was preceded in death by her father, Lloyd; half-sister, Linda; and husband, John.

According to Nancy’s wishes, private family services will be held and interment will take place at Masonic Cemetery.
