People loved to be around her because her laugh was infectious. She was generous and very caring and knew no strangers. Her compassion for the elderly and those in need is something that her family wishes they could put in a bottle. She knew how to have a good time and some of her favorite things to do were to decorate, work on crafts and enjoy nature. She was happiest when sporting her “bling”. Nancy will be missed but remembered forever in her family’s hearts and minds.
