Nancy Marianne LEDBETTER

Nancy was a good friend from 1995 until I left Arizona in 2001 to return to the Northeast to help my aging parents. I was saddened to find out those many years ago almost 10 years ago that she passed and such a young age.

Nancy was so effervescent, and overflowing with positive attitude, love, and joy. She helped so many, altering clothes as a favor, taking care of gardens for the handicapped, staying on the beam no matter what. Thank you, Nancy

Nancy, I will miss you. Your wonderful smile and laughter would make time spent with you so precious. I know your spirit is soaring. Love you my friend Chris Trimble
