I first met Nancy when she was hired by Cecil Knox and Jim Maschino when I was working at Ports Unlimited in Belcaro, many years ago. She was an extremely smart, skilled, driven, energetic, classy lady with a huge heart.

Her intentions in her role in Human Resources as the company merged and constantly evolved were always what was best for the goals of the company, but most importantly the best benefits for all employees. She deeply cared about all of us.

She had to handle numerous very difficult situations. She could be tough, strong and determined when necessary. She always handled those situations with grace and determination. I'm sure many were very heavy on her huge heart.

I am so grateful to Don for transporting her to meet with me for lunches and get togethers, in recent years. He would drop her off and come pick her up when we were done, so we could have private 'girl time'. What a great guy and what a wonderful, loving, patient and supportive husband!

I'm sure it's recently been a tough journey for Don, Michelle, Jay and her beloved grandsons. Kudos to you all. My heart is over flowing with love and condolences for you all.
Peace be with you.
Rest in peace Nancy
