Nancy was the best shopper and traveler. She was always on the lookout for a bargain at Macy's. Loved shopping and traveling with Nancy. She was the best navigator and used the GPS so well, we hardly got lost. She and Lon will be missed very much.

Nancy was a dear and loved special friend. She was truly beautiful inside and out. We met in 1957 when the family moved from North Dakota to
Lodi. I am going to miss her
so much.
Condolences to her family.

Just a note to say how much I enjoyed working with Nancy (and Lon) during her time here at Lodi High. I can still see her smile, and feel her sassy spirit! Her humor and caring heart made work the best. They now have the ultimate world view from above :)

Nancy and I met in Mrs. Simon's 6th grade class at Washington School. We have remained friends ever since. She invited me to church with her and I am still attending after 64 yrs. Her folks picked me up every Sunday morning and evening and on Wednesday nights. We enjoyed going to church camp, paddle boarding at Lodi Lake and swimming at Blakey pool. I don't ever remember having a fall out with her all the years we've been friends. I will miss her dearly. Rest in peace my dear friend.

I'm so shocked and saddened to learn of Nancy's passing. Nancy has been a friend of mine for 50+ years. I always thought she was a special lady. Condolences to Nancy's family.
