I am so sorry Nancy has moved on from this earth. At least she had family and friends who will remember her always, she will not be forgotten by them, a short but fulfilling life.

I graduated from the U in 1996 and was a Psychology major. All these years later, I clearly remember Nancy. She was a very kind and warm woman who helped me navigate payroll as an undergrad and employee in the department. My condolences go out to Nancy's family and friends. She truly was a radiant light.

To Nancy's family. I was a graduate student in the psychology program and often had the pleasure of speaking with Nancy in the 1990s. She was always smiling and always had something nice to say even when the U of U administrative stuff was such a hassle. I was sad to hear of her passing, but I'm sure that heaven is brightened by her smile.

Jeff, Michael, and Steven,
I so wish I could be there today to help you celebrate Nancy's life. She was so very special to me, taught me everything I know about university budgets. But more importantly she taught me important life lessons about how to face challenges with courage and grace. I will so miss her creativity, her beautiful smile and that wonderful laugh that would bring hope to even the most dismal budget numbers. My thoughts and prayers are with you today.

Dear Jeff:
I was saddened to learn of Nancy's passing. She was a courageous woman and certainly fought hard to win her battle over cancer. I will remember her flowing red tresses, her lovely smile, and contagious grin. I know she wanted to stay with you, but somehow, her time on this earth was done. God bless you and may her memory be eternal. Rest in peace, Nancy.

And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance".

Jeff, Michael and Steven,
Our family was blessed to have known such a wonderful woman. We feel fortunate to have spent joyous times together and witness the love and closeness that your family had. I'm sure that you must have felt the world stop for a time as heaven added an angel, your wife and mother, into it's midst. She was truly an angel here and touched the lives of everyone she came into contact with. I will always treasure her joy, laughter and absolute love of her family and life. She never missed asking about Austin as well as all of our children, with sincere interest. Each time I had the good fortune to come into contact with her I left feeling better. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Hopefully knowing the huge impact she had on so many lives will help to comfort you, because in her short time here her legacy of giving joy, comfort and love was immeasurable.May her loving spirit be with you and comfort you throughout your lives and know that her greatest joy was her family. God be with you. May her memory be eternal

Our circle of friends and our community have a huge loss at the passing of Nancy. True, she had a way of making me feel special and engaging me in conversation even though I rarely got to see her.

It is with deep sadness that i write. I was a graduate student in the Department of Psychology at the University of Utah between 1988 and 1996, and I remember Nancy fondly. Nancy was one of the first people I met in the department when I arrived. She was always friendly, always funny, and always willing to lend a helping hand. I enjoyed stopping by her office to chat and remember how she frequently talked of her family with such pride! She was an amazing person and will be missed greatly. Please accept my sincerest condolences. Peace, Kelly Schloredt
