These same skills were utilized in Dayton at the Montgomery County Senior Citizens Center and in the Washington, D.C., Office on Aging. Sister Nancy served on the leadership team and as treasurer of the Sisters of the Precious Blood for 12 years. Having a deep commitment to the elderly, Sister Nancy became a nursing home administrator and held various positions at Maria Joseph Center and at The Brethren Home, Greenville, Ohio.
During her retirement years in Dayton, she volunteered at Catholic Social Services food pantry and development offices; served on the boards of Mercy Manor and St. Mary Development; and was active on Congregational committees.
