Nanette “Chris” Hummel August 1929 - June 2024 Nanette Christine Hummel passed away on June 14, 2024, surrounded by her children and their spouses, and her grandchildren. Chris was born in Columbus, Ohio, the youngest child of Hertha and Marion Harper. Chris graduated from Ohio State University in 1952 with a BA degree in Education. She married David Ray Hummel, Sr. the same year on June 8, and enjoyed 63 years of marriage, until Dave’s death in 2015. Chris taught school for many years in Texas, Pennsylvania and Ohio, and then went back to school in California and earned an AA degree in Accounting. She was very good with numbers and used that skill working as a Bookkeeper. She always said she should have been an Engineer. She retired with her husband Dave in San Luis Obispo in 1985 and loved the life they created as retirees. Chris’s family describes her as loyal, loving, generous, independent and fiercely protective of everyone she loved. She was proud, strong, and kind, all at the same time. She had many, many friends over a lifetime, and cherished those friendships. She was very active in the community with Altrusa, tennis at Avila Bay Athletic Club, and golf at Laguna Lake Golf Course. She loved her tennis and golf! She is survived by her children: Nancy Campbell (Bob), David Jr. (Trudi) and Trish Butier; grandchildren: Kate (Dan), Alex (Kyle), Nick (Lindsey), Ben and Lindsay; great-grandchild: Harper. She will be greatly missed by all. A private family gathering is planned for the future. Chris’s family is extremely grateful for the compassionate care she received from the staff at both The Palms and Garden Creek, and the same compassion from Sierra Vista and Mission View Health Center. In lieu of flowers please make contributions to Altrusa International of San Luis Obispo County Foundation, P. O. Box 1202, Pismo Beach, CA 93448.
