I worked with Nancy for almost 20 years. Nancy was one of the sweetest persons I have ever known. She was also one of the hardest working people I have ever known and went above and beyond for our customers and for her fellow employees.

Nancy slowly but surely became like family and made sure to keep all of us in check at work. She was our office mom.

We have missed Nancy being around and will continue to miss her, think of her, and our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends.
