Reverend Nancy J. (Greig) Dvorachek, 79, of Manitowoc, died peacefully in San Antonio, TX on July 12, 2024, with her daughter at her side. Nancy was born February 18, 1945 in Madison, daughter of the late Richard and Helen (Roberts) Greig. She graduated Lincoln High School, Manitowoc in 1963, and received a Bachelor of Science in Botany from the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee in 1967. On November 29, 1969, Nancy married the love of her life, the late Paul J. Dvorachek, at Wesley United Methodist Church in Manitowoc. He preceded her in death on September 10, 2022. Nancy was employed for over 20 years by Wisconsin Bell and Ameritech as a programmer in the very early days of computer automation. She then returned to school to receive a Masters in Divinity from the University of Dubuque, IA in 1997 and became an ordained minister of the United Methodist Church. She subsequently served as lead pastor for churches in Ashton, IL and Sterling, IL before her final retirement in 2008.

Nancy most enjoyed being involved in the lives of her two precious grandchildren by visiting, vacationing, talking to, and spending as much time as possible with them. She also enjoyed quilting and sewing; spending time with family and friends; following the Green Bay Packers; playing cards and games; and volunteering in many church activities throughout her life, especially at Wauwatosa Avenue United Methodist Church, and Palatine United Methodist Church, Palatine, IL. She also previously served as a retired pastor for Lakeshore United Methodist Church, Manitowoc and on the Board of the Manitowoc County Domestic Violence Center.
