She was deeply faithful to God and her church through service and leadership. She was an exceptional friend. As a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother she was generously loving, occasionally grumpy and always looking out for our best interests. Nancy came alive in a special way when she would talk about family genealogy, especially when it included pictures. For her life, so well lived, we are eternally grateful.
