Dear Tracy and Family,
I was a college roommate of Nancy at Westminster
College. I have tried severaL times over the years to
locate her, and sadly, on my 60th wedding anniversary this week, I found her obituary. Nancy
was the maid-of-honor in my wedding, and my
husband and I traveled to New Jersey when she
married.
Nancy left Westminster to go to Penn State, and I
got married. We just drifted apart, but I thought of her many times. I have many fond memories of the times we spent together. I was happy to read
that she had a lovely family and a good life.
I tried attaching a couple photos from my wedding that I thought you may like. You have
my sincere condolences.

Mom was my best friend forever. We shared a wonderful life. I was so blessed to have her be such an integral part of my childrens' lives and mine.
She loved her beach and friends at the Buccaneer. Favorite things: golf, bridge, crosswords and margaritas (or a nice wine). We had wonderful Sundays together.
Thank you to all her friends and family for everything!

We are "snow birds" to the Buccaneer for the past 8 years. We had the pleasure to meet and enjoy Nancy's company. What a spunky lady; loved playing bridge and joining in the various social gatherings held by owners and renters alike. We enjoyed learning about upbringings, family, beliefs, careers, and life. We all shared many a laugh, nourishments, and toasts! Nancy's health while obstructing her activity, never dimmed her spirit. God's peace to her family and Godspeed to Nancy.
Sincerely, Carol and Jerry Lonegro
Salisbury, Maryland
