Born June 11, 1944 in Lompoc California to Herbert C. Swanson and Dorothy A. Riche Swanson. She was raised in and around Lompoc. The family lived in town and in the country in the Jalama area. Nancy was the middle child with a younger brother Clark and an older sister, Coralee. Nancy loved to swim competitively as a youngster.  The Swanson family boat was a favorite of Nancy's and she learned to water ski in the Pacific Ocean, which was an activity she pursued on Moses Lake for many years. Herb was a talented musician and music teacher, so the kids learned to play a variety of instruments.
