I knew Nancy as a member of Lake Forest Park Presbyterian Church. I have not had contact with her in some years but remember her as a bright, friendly, artistic woman. She will be missed by any who have had the pleasure of knowing her.

Nancy was one of the nicest people I had the pleasure to know. Her art was an expression of who she was and how she looked at the world. Her attitude during her fight with cancer was amazing and so Nancy. Her bright smile will be missed.

I have several items that Nancy made and think of her so often. She was an artist, a good friend and an inspiration. I will miss her.

The memory of Nancy lives on in our home. Just yesterday I looked at the picture of Shealan on a swing with the poem Nancy wrote. At that moment I stopped and thought of Nancy. She will be missed and is missed.
