December 3, 1927 – October 3, 2026
Nancy Loughridge, 98, of Los Altos, passed away peacefully on October 3, 2026, just shy of her 99th birthday — a milestone she fully intended to reach.
Born and raised in her beloved San Francisco, Nancy grew up during the city’s golden era. As a young girl, she walked the Golden Gate Bridge on opening day in 1937, and her father often took her to Kezar Stadium to watch the 49ers — memories she cherished throughout her life.
Nancy married her husband, Charles Loughridge, and together they raised six children in Los Altos, where she lived for more than 65 years. After losing both a son and her husband, she rebuilt her life with remarkable resilience, founding Scott Credit Service, which she later sold before becoming the acquiring firm’s top salesperson.
An artist throughout her life and a devoted 49ers fan, Nancy was known for her optimism, kindness, and unwavering support for those around her.
Nancy was the mother of six children; Meg, Jeff, Paul, Katherine, Scott and Trish; nine grandchildren, Ben, Molly, David, Allana, Emma, Scott, Jessica, Nicole and Nathan; and seven great‑grandchildren, Jack, Xavier, Mookie, Zachary, Zoie, Joey and Jakob.
A celebration of her life will be held Sunday, November 8, 2-4pm, at the Garden House, Shoup Park, Los Altos.
