I am so sad to hear about Nancy's sudden passing. Nancy was a regular volunteer with the Friends of the Whitefish Bay Public Library. She and I had similar ideas for ways to improve the workflow-workspace in the Friends sales floor area. I always enjoyed our problem solving chats and her practical "we can do it" attitude. She will be greatly missed.

I had the heartfelt pleasure to get to know Nancy through her time on the Parks and Recreation Board in St Joseph, MI. She was a kind encourager, thoughtful and wise. She was also a rich source ideas for community engagement and development. I deeply valued her insights and experience. It was truly a pleasure to come into her orbit, albeit briefly. My sincere condolences in the loss of someone so dear to so many. She will be missed.

Nancy was a dedicated member of the City of St Joseph Parks Advisory Board for many years prior to her move to Wisconsin. It was during her service on the Park's Board that I was privileged to meet and serve with her. She was a remarkable woman with many talents and a vast and diverse knowledge of so many things. Her Obituary is a tribute to her dedication to education and service. My prayers are with all who knew and loved her. Shari

What a beautiful tribute to Nancy this obituary is. I am so saddened by news of her death.
I had the privilege of being Nancy’s neighbor at the Beaumont for just one year but, on my very first day of residency, her true colors shone brightly. “So nice to meet you!” She said. “Once you’ve settled in, I’ll take you for a beer at the Bay!” (Our neighborhood haunt). I would pass her in the hall with her Kiwanis pin on, or just home from a trip to see family or go out exploring the world with another new friend and Beaumont neighbor, at least 20 years her junior!
In such a short tome, Nancy made a lasting impression on me, for which I shall long be grateful.
