Nancy Lavoy Obituary
Nancy was the daughter of Virgil and Gladys (Rees) Olson. She graduated from Clinton High School and Milton College with a degree in Music Education. In her early career she taught music to middle school and Headstart children. In later years she worked in a variety of administrative positions with firms in Aurora and Chicago.
Nancy is survived by her sister Natalie, sisters-in-law Carla and Jesse, brothers Neil and Nevin, nephews Michael and Brian, niece Kelsey and their families. She was preceded in death by her parents and several close friends.
We will miss her quiet reflection and easy laughter as she enjoyed sharing in the humor of our daily lives. Nancy tried to live a good life one day at a time.
According to her wishes there will be no formal service.

So sorry to hear of Nancy's death. We were classmates since Kindergarten, but I haven't seen Nancy since high school. I have fond memories of visiting and playing at each other's homes when we were in elementary school. She was a great pal. Condolences to her siblings and families.

My deepest sympathy. Nancy lived with me on Jenny Lane for a bit. We rode the train together and I got to enjoy her excitement nesting in her home once she was able to make improvements. Nancy was a private person with a heart of gold. I will miss her!!
