Nancy DiLoreto

Born in Reno, Nevada, to Victor and Verna Anderson, Nancy spent her early years riding her horse, Kimbo in the high desert with her dog, Foxy. In 1964 she moved to Santa Barbara, where she married Silvio Di Loreto and became deeply involved in their church and philanthropic community while raising her family. Nancy’s open heart and home will be remembered well. Any creature in need of love was welcome, whether it be baby chicks warmed under the oven light or orphaned skunks tucked near the dryer. She extended that same warmth and generosity to people, embracing anyone who needed a place to belong. Nancy will be remembered fondly for her sweet nature, soft voice, and the occasional spark of mischief. She could never be trusted with a hose as she delighted in a good water fight.
She is survived by her sister, Vicki Menante; her brother, Eric Anderson; her four children, Dale, Todd, Antonio, and Camilla; and her nine grandchildren.
