She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Alexandria for 75 years and an active member of Chancellor Baptist Church. She was an avid reader, lover of her family and animals, and devoted mother and grandma. She loved the Washington Nationals watching every game she could. Nancy loved going to the beach. Every year the family took a trip to North Carolina and no matter how cold it got you could spot her on the beach reading her book and listening to the waves. This past year she was able to take one last trip to North Carolina where she was able to stay on the water and stare out into the ocean all day long. Nancy, Sean and Mary spread Rick's ashes into the ocean, a place he always wanted to be. Celebration of life will be held on March 21st at Stevenson's Ridge Riddick House at 3 p.m. Casual dress attire.
