Lasting Memories

Nancy Ann Bordes
1945-Sept. 30, 2025
Boise, Idaho

Nancy Ann Bordes, age 80, passed away peacefully on September 30th in Boise, Idaho.

Born and raised in Berkeley, California, Nancy was the beloved daughter of Arch and Esther Girvin. She graduated from Mount Eden High School in Hayward in 1963 and went on to earn her degree from the University of California, Berkeley. Nancy dedicated her career to education, teaching for many years in the Murray and Dublin School Districts in Dublin, California, until her retirement in 2001.

Nancy was preceded in death by her loving husband of 53 years, John Bordes; her parents, Arch and Esther Girvin; and her brother, Alan Girvin. She is survived by her three children — Jeffrey Bordes, Amy Vandagriff, and Christopher Bordes — and by nine adored grandchildren: Ghost, Eric, Shaun, and Bryan Vandagriff; Jonah, Kyle, and Natalie Bordes; and Julian and Ella Bordes.

Family was at the center of Nancy’s life. She treasured every moment spent with her children and grandchildren. She especially loved family cruises, trips to Disneyland and Disney World, and gatherings filled with laughter. Nancy also enjoyed sewing, wine tasting, and traveling with dear friends Jay and Karen Guichard.

Nancy and John made their home in Pleasanton, California, for many years before relocating to Meridian, Idaho, in 2018.

She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
