Not sure what to say?

I am so sad to hear about Nancy's sudden passing. Nancy was a regular volunteer with the Friends of the Whitefish Bay Public Library. She and I had similar ideas for ways to improve the workflow-workspace in the Friends sales floor area. I always enjoyed our problem solving chats and her practical "we can do it" attitude. She will be greatly missed.

As a member of the Friends of the Whitefish Bay Public Library Nancy was a smart, funny and helpful colleague. She was also becoming a dear friend to me. Her warmth and wisdom will be greatly missed. Prayers to all her family and loved ones.

So surprised to hear of Nancy’s passing. I just got her Christmas card and she seemed to be doing great! Nancy was a long time friend from our Naperville high school days. Thoughts and condolences to her family. A life well lived❤

In loving memory of a wonderful person. I will love you and miss you always. Our trip down the Danube was amazing and will always be a special memory of spending time with you.

I had the heartfelt pleasure to get to know Nancy through her time on the Parks and Recreation Board in St Joseph, MI. She was a kind encourager, thoughtful and wise.

Her Obituary is a tribute to her dedication to education and service. My prayers are with all who knew and loved her. Shari

What a beautiful tribute to Nancy this obituary is. I am so saddened by news of her death.

I had the privilege of being Nancy’s neighbor at the Beaumont for just one year but, on my very first day of residency, her true colors shone brightly. “So nice to meet you!” She said. “Once you’ve settled in, I’ll take you for a beer at the Bay!” (Our neighborhood haunt). I would pass her in the hall with her Kiwanis pin on, or just home from a trip to see family or go out exploring the...

Love you cousin Nancy! Thanks for being a strong, kind, and giving woman!
