Nancy Milian

Nancy Milian passed away on Friday, August 14, 2026, after facing a long and incredibly tough battle with cancer. Diagnosed on January 21, 2021, Nancy fought her illness with immense courage and an unyielding spirit.

Nancy was born on November 29, 1974, in Los Angeles, California. When she was just two years old, her parents relocated to El Paso, Texas, where she was raised. She graduated from Coronado High School with the Class of 1993. At the age of 19, Nancy proudly joined the U.S. Army, dedicatedly serving her country for six years. After honorably leaving the military, she experienced the absolute greatest joy of her life: giving birth to her forever-loved, beautiful son, Damian Armando Melendez. Nancy was a deeply dedicated and loving mother, whose world revolved around her shared pride and devotion to her son.

Nancy’s legacy of love, kindness, and incredible bravery will forever live on in the hearts of all the lives she touched.
