I think of Nancy often and know she would be doing here happy dance at the new P'Ball facility in SC. What a beautiful lady and friend. Thank God for the wonderful memories of her presence in my life. BLessings to all her family and friends, Ann

Just heard of Nancy's "home going" tonight. Our friendship goes back many years, Wayne and Phil and family have my sympathy, however, she has now received her "crown of life" for which we are all waiting anxiously. I'm sure Jesus said with open arms "welcome home Nancy, welcome home". God bless you all. Dorothy Atkins Fishel

As a daughter in law through marriage to Gordy,the greatest joy I have experienced in knowing Nancy was in her mothering of me and in her grandmothering of my two sons.Her love was given so freely and love is not a commodity one can receive too much of.I consider her my "mother by choice".

Nancy was part of our family from my first remembrance of family and friends. I always thought she was my cousin because every holiday plus other times our family spent time with her family and celebrated all family occasions. I was so surprised one day to learn we were not related but just close friends. She was in our wedding and was even my sister-in-law at one time. She was a wonderful friend, mother and granny. God bless each one of you and the unforgettable memories she left her family. Ain't Joanne and Uncle John

Granny, you had a fire for life and a love for God like few I've ever known. I'll always remember you for the time you beat me to the top of Saddleback Mountain. You will always be loved and missed by many.

I'm sorry for your loss, she was (is) loved by so many. May God comfort and keep you close.

April 26, 2014

Nancy's greatgrandchildren, upon realizing she had gone to heaven, said they could just imagine Nancy's arrival. When she sees Jesus she'll call out, "There He is, there He is!!" and do her happy dance. Yes, that sounds like Nancy!! She has been such a joy to know and I'm sure I speak for the entire Rholl family when I say how much we loved her. Connie Rholl Wagoner

Nancy, my dear Granny, never failed to bring a smile to my face, and to the faces of my siblings and my children. Remembrances of her bring smiles, too. She was truly precious, and knowing her changed my life. Miss you so much, Granny. Your grandson, Philip.

On behalf of the Elephant Club and myself, we extend our condolences to the family of Nancy Rholl, a treasured mainstay of the tennis scene in Sun City, Arizona. I personally feel the loss of this forthright, courageous woman who lightened and brightened many lives and always had a kind word and was a helpmeet to all and sundry. There will be an empty space on the tennis and golf courses of Sun City which can never be filled by anyone else.----Bobby "The Sun City Kid" Gulick, spokesman for the Elephant Club, elite men's sports club in Sun City, Arizona, and Sun City Tennis Club Vice President for Public Relations and Media.
