Nancy will be missed. She was by far the best PE teacher my children ever had as well as a great friend and colleague at Talbott. She taught my children so many life long athletic skills-my children still play soccer in adult leagues. She and Neil were both such dedicated teachers and we even had the pleasure to have Neil as one of my children's math teacher at Doherty.
Our condolences and prayers are with you as you grieve the loss of your mother, grandmother, and friend.

I am keeping all of Nancy's family in my thoughts and prayers. I knew Nancy through our DAR chapter, Namaqua, in Loveland, for many years. I loved hearing about her latest scuba adventure and I loved seeing all the wonderful Photographs she took on those trips. She will be missed dearly by the DAR.
