I came to appreciate Nancy as a co-worker at Kelley Co. She used her gifts and talents as a very dedicated employee. The integrity and loyalty she displayed at Kelley made me comment more than once that she would make a terrific friend outside of work.

As a fellow student at MATC, it was always a delight to be in the same class or see her on campus.

Nancy and I had many long conversations; about life in general, its joys and hardships, but also about the hereafter. Which is why I'm convinced she has found peace and comfort in the arms of her Saviour.

She will be missed, but never forgotten. Thank you Nancy, for your heart and courage. Those she left behind are in my prayers.

Nancy was a regular member of the MRA Safety Roundtable while she was employed at Kelley Dock. Nancy was always interested in learning from others and sharing her knowledge with other professionals - she always had something valuable to contribute. Even though Nancy had not attended meetings in a few years due to changes in employment, Nancy will be missed by all who knew her through this professional group.

I will always remember Nancy. Her

energy and enthusiasm made a positive impact on all of us. She was my fellow Concierge for less than a year, but made such a strong impression on my life. I have

never worked with a person as eager

and excited about her job. At the end of a long day she would say:

" I've had a great day today!"

Her friendliness and professionalism

made all of her co-workers and hotel

guests happy. She will be missed by all of us at Hyatt Regency Milwaukee.

Nancy was a blessing to all who knew her. I first met Nancy in the summer of 1976. Twenty years later, through good times and bad, I still remember the laughter and love our families shared for each other. I am a better person today for the precious time God allowed Nancy to touch so many hearts as she did mine. I will always remember Nancy's smile.

I met Nancy back in 1977 when my family moved to Spring Grove, IL. We moved in next door to the Smith family (Leo,Kay,Gary,Nancy,Hap and Mary). I know many years have come & gone but I still have & always will have a lot of fond memories of time spent with Nancy & her family. My deepest condolences to her family.

When Nancy started working for Hyatt, we loved her smile, and professional attitude. She worked at the concierge desk and her supervisor Christine Hodgson really enjoyed working with her.

Hyatt will miss her dearly, and our thoughts and prayers are with your family!

Nancy was an energetic person who spent many hours doing volunteer work and was a hard worker at the Kelley Company.



She was very thoughtful and giving and was always thinking of others. We'll always remember her enjoying her travels, whether to London, Hawaii or Japan. We also enjoyed her cat, Hobo, and had fun taking care of her a couple of times at own home once during Nancy's trips.



Nancy helped us pick out a cat at the Wisconsin Humane Society for our daughter, Lisa. Our daughter will always remember that Nancy was able to get her and a friend some Brittany Spears tickets at Summerfest.



She'll likely be missed by many, but especially Hobo.

Nancy was one of the most genuinely giving persons I have ever met. She never had a bad word to say about anybody. I know that she will be greatly missed by all the Lions and friends that knew her.
