I enjoyed seeing Nancy as a dental patient since 1977. Nancy was so much fun to be with and talk about her family. I am so sorry and will keep Paul and family in my prayers

I had the privilege of working with Nancy at Parkview Hospital, Randallia Ave. from 1970 until late 1971 in Labor and Delivery as a scrub nurse (I was a nurse's aide working in a specialized area). She helped train me and was always ready to answer any question I had. When I had my son in March 1972, I had problems and I remember her coming to see me when she was working and gave me encouragement. She was a great and caring nurse and a special person. I shall not forget all she did for me.

I know as a family she will be greatly missed. My God be with you all during this time.

Dearest Cousins Marc and Paul: I'm so very saddened by the sudden passing of Aunt Nancy. She was my second Mom as we all know. She taught me so many things during
my life. Not only respect and to listen to what elders tell you & teach you but old fashion manners as well. We all had so much fun..being cousins~but, sharing life like brothers and sister also, great memories for sure. She will always be near and dear to my heart. Bless you two and just remember she just transformed from life to everlasting life. We will all be reunited one day. Love and hugs to you both along with many continued prayers.

Mom, Wendy and I send our love and prayers to all the Steffens at this very sad time. The memory of the righteous is a blessing.

Aunt Nancy always liked us kids. She was very tolerant of our noise. She did lay down the law when necessary, although she preferred leaving that job up to Floyd and Dottie(my mom), who both were very particular about how things should be playing out. It is interesting to look back on our parents and see how their parenting skills shaped our lives. These folks are the last of the breed for strict parenting. In my opinion, they did a great job. There was no backtalk from any of us, and we learned to be respectful of our elders. This is a lost art in our modern times. I miss those times of "yes sir" and "No thank you Maam". Until we meet again, may you rest in peace Aunt Nancy.
