Just found out about Nancy's passing. She was my college roommate. Been trying to find her for the last couple of years. I regret losing touch with her. We had so much fun together. I'm glad she's no longer in pain. Truly sorry for your loss.

Catie and Charlie. So many wonderful memories of your mom and of Ruth over the past 58 years starting with kindergarten. We used to call each other "kissing cousins" with our shared link to the Pryors. When she laughed, you HAD to laugh - it was so infectious. She was a wonderful woman and we are all deeply saddened and for losing her too early in life.

dearest Charlie and Katie your mother was one of my dearest friends I shall always treasure my memories of all of you with much love Debbie Johnson

What wonderful things can I say about my dearest friend of 58 years? She was special to my family. We talked many times a week...my cell to Nancy's land line! All those wonderful escapades on Sherwin from pool to pool...all the great friends from CSG that Nancy brought into my life...like Lynn and Chris! We neither had technology nor secrets. like when she hid my bike in the bushes! I still will miss her pranks. A big hurt is with me but I am so happy that Nancy passed in so much peace with her family. Catherine and Charlie meant the world to Nancy. Nancy did a lot of volunteer work and so loved to spread fun and cheer to all. She surely cared about a lot of people over many years. Many of you gave her great happiness even with just a walk...thanks to some of you I never met. Nancy loved those times. And all the food you have given over this past year...she really appreciated all those special acts of kindness!
May making a toast to Nancy never end!!!
Cheers to Nancy!!!

Dear Catie and Charlie,

The brief words of this notice only begin to describe how simply wonderful your mother was! Her CSG Classmates, some 42+ strong, have loved her since she was very small. We knew your dear grandparents, too.
On behalf of my classmates, I tell you that we are always ready to take your call. You are beloved to us, as was your dear mother, and always will be.

Your (honorary) Aunt Zashie, and with deepest sympathy for your loss,

Our deepest sympathy for Nancy's family and all her other friends from some of whom she called "the old gang". After almost 40 years I was always the 'other Nancy' and rightly so, Nance was special.
