Nancy was such a sweet gal. We enjoyed Bible study and potlucks with her and Ricky while they lived here. She always seemed to have a smile on her face and was so welcoming and kind. She made you look forward to those quiet visits and shared family time. We missed her when they moved back to the west side, but even more so now. We look forward to a happy reunion on the other side. May God bless her family with many precious and happy memories.
Love,
Cousins Ron and Georgia Perkins

Nancy was a part of our family for many years. She married our brother and made him the happiest man in the world. She learned sign language so they could talk easily. She took great care of Rick for many many years. She always was up for family times. She is missed by many who knew her and loved her. So sorry for your loss. With fond memories
