I would like to express my deepest sympathy to Grace and the rest of Nancy's family. She was a very special person in my young adult life, my high school sweetheart and and very dear friend. She lit up a room with her charm and smile and I was blessed to have had a chance to spend many special times together. She indeed has a special place in my heart, mind and soul. May God bless you and your spirit live on forever.

I am devastated to hear about losing Nancy. She gave me my first job in 1982 at Budget. We had such great times at work, traveling on business trips, partying on Rush St, etc. She was a great mentor and friend and so much fun to be with. I loved everything about her!!

I just returned from a few days away. I am deeply saddened to hear of Nancy’s passing. I knew her to be a fiercely loyal and generous person. Having been on the gymnastics team with her at Greeley and having known her at Denison, I always appreciated Nancy’s integrity, dedication and humor. I send my most sincere condolences to her family and to all those closest to her. She was a gem and will remain so in our hearts!
With love,

I knew Nancy to be a kind person. She helped show me the ropes in my freshman year at Denison. I never heard her disparage anyone. She had such enthusiasm and zest for life. She was quite the gymnast, I recall her doing handsprings across the quad at Denison. My condolences to everyone whose life Nancy touched. The world was a better place with Nancy in it.

Nancy was my boss in the mid 1980s at Budget Rent a Car Corporation. Although we lost touch when I left Budget in 1990, I will always remember Nancy as a warm, caring and fun-loving person. Her smile lit up a room and her laugh was infectious. She was an excellent teacher to me and a wonderful friend. Please know Grace that you, your mother and the rest of your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

nancy was small in stature but she filled the room with her infectious laugh,loving heart,and clinique elixir perfume. You all hold a special place in my heart always. The Bischoff family was always so welcoming to me, allowing me to stay with them for 2 weeks in the summer of 1976, thank you. Nancy is an inspiration - she lived life to it's fullest and I am blessed to be a part of it.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the Plamondon and Bischoff families. I worked at Budget several years ago and have a lot of fond memories of the Plamondons. Nancy always made me feel like a part of her family. She had a way of making people feel special and welcome in her home.

I knew Nancy many years ago. She was bright, energy, love, and excitement. What I remember the most was how elated she was when she had Grace. She so loved being a Mom. She would bring pictures everytime she came to get her teeth cleaned. I remember Nancy as living life to the fullest, wanting the best for others and when she gave, she gave from her heart. To Grace, your Mom beamed when she spoke of you and loved you the most. Nancy's footprints will be on the hearts of many for a lifetime.
