Not sure what to say?

I will always remember "Aunt Nancy" as a free spirited and enthusiastic lady. I was introduced to Nancy through my lifelong friendship with my adopted family the Benziger's. I met Nancy when Lise and I traveled to Virginia Beach. We happened to be there during the Virginia Democratic Convention. Before you knew it... Lise and I were attending the convention, making signs and having loads of fun with this delightful woman. Rest well Nancy... you will be missed!

Mark and Family, So sorry to hear of your Mom´s passing. She lived life to the fullest. Of all the memories of her, the Oaks, the Battle of Green Springs and, of course your Dad, there is one that stands out. Nancy Bowles was the ONLY person on Earth who was able to get my non-swimmer water fearing daughter to jump in your pool and, in one lesson, taught her how to float and swim! You all should have great memories, warmest regards, Dave.

I did not know her but I feel like I do not from this beautiful obituary. It made me smile and thankful for her and what she did while alive on this earth. Thank you for sharing.

We were privileged to know Nancy when we lived in Goochland. We admired her passion and energy. She was devoted to good causes and we agreed with her politics, May her memory be a blessing. Judith & Ike Koziol
