My sympathy to Nancy's family. She had such a serving spirit in her. She helped me out at my yard sales when we were moving. She and I helped pack up another church family that was moving. Very knowledgeable on many subjects. I missed her when I left LaCrosse.

I was so surprised to read of Nancy's passing. We worked together in the La Crosse Police Department, Parking Records office for many years and remained friends when she transferred to the Assessor's office, and after her retirement. It was a pleasure working with Nancy. She greeted everyone with a smile and loved to talk about her family. My deepest sympathy to all of Nancy's family. Toni Gelbeck
