Nancy was a devoted mother and caring grandmother and sister who loved her family with all her heart.  She enjoyed the simpliest things in life but her greatest joy was spending time with those she loved.  Nancy was a quiet, humble woman with strong Christian faith. She loved the Lord as well as her church family and never wanted to miss a service.  Nancy's favorite pasttime was being with family and friends, going shopping and out to eat.  She has fought a good fight, finished her course and is now in the presence of Jesus forevermore.  Nancy will surely be missed but never forgotten.
