newlyweds moved to Baytown in 1951 and reared four sons, Will, Dan,
Calvin, and Erich; Calvin Mundinger, who took office as the mayor of

indelible mark on her adopted hometown through her involvement with
a host of notable organizations, including the Baytown Service
League, which she served as president, St. Mark's United Methodist

Chair, and the Baytown Chapter of Big Brothers, Big Sisters, which
she founded; moreover, she also ably served the Museum of Fine Arts,
Houston, as a docent for their Bayou Bend Collection and was a
member of the Bluebird Circle of Houston, and the Houston Livestock
Show and Rodeo International Committee; and
WHEREAS, Those fortunate enough to have known Nancy Mundinger
will remember her humor, her zest for life, and her love of her
family, her community, and Texas; although she will be profoundly
missed, her legacy of generosity and service will long live on in
the hearts of those whose lives she so richly blessed; now,
therefore, be it
