“She met the love of her life, Vic Edelbrock Jr., while attending USC. After being set up on a blind date, the two became inseparable and were engaged on Christmas in 1958. They were wed on campus at Our Savior’s Chapel on 21 March 1959, embarking on a journey filled with love, adventure, and shared dreams. Their union was one built on mutual respect, trust, and unwavering support, serving as an inspiration to all who knew them. Together, they created a beautiful family and a legacy that will endure for generations to come. Nancy was an incredible mother to their daughters, Camee, Christi, and Carey, and she approached her role with an unmatched level of devotion and care. She provided unwavering love, encouragement, and guidance throughout their lives.

“Nancy kept things running as smoothly as possible at home while also joining Vic Jr. on the road at the SEMA Show and many races promoting the company. Nancy’s dedication to her family was unmatched, and her presence will be sorely missed by her three children, seven grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. Beyond her family, Nancy was an integral part of Edelbrock, even if she didn’t have an official title. Referred to as “the Real Boss” by Vic, she played an essential role in supporting and nurturing the growth of the iconic Edelbrock brand. Vic would often ask Nancy for her opinions, making her an integral part of the Edelbrock legacy. She was fluent in Spanish and would translate Vic’s speeches during celebrations to make everyone feel welcome. Nancy’s grace, elegance, and commitment to excellence were instrumental in shaping the company’s success.”
