Nancy and I worked together for quite some time for Indiana state government. I could always count on her to come through with excellent organizational skills, creative ideas, and laughter. One smart girl. I am shocked and saddened by this news.
Nancy and I had been in touch over the last couple of years and I will miss our long phone conversations! I have many funny stories about Nancy and I will miss her more than I can express.
With deepest sympathy and love to the entire family...

My sympathy and condolences to the Cira family on the passing of Nancy. I went to high school with her, but we ran into each other now and then afterwards. She was such a beautiful soul, inside and out; and that smile just lit up your spirits!
I just found out and was shocked to hear this. Godspeed Nancy...you will be missed.

Nancy would light up a room with her wonderful smile, caring heart and sweet personality. There is nothing but fond memories of Nancy while growing up as neighbors. My prayers go out to all her family and friends.

I was shocked and upset when my mom phoned me from South Bend about Nancy. I am really sorry for Mike, Pat and the entire Cira family. Nancy was very dear to me and I wished I had never left Indiana to go to college in Florida when she went to Butler, things could have been different for both of us. Nancy will always have a special place in my heart and I have never have stopped thinking about her since then and always wished we could get back together. Nancy I will see again someday and you are now in a better place with our creator (God).
God bless you and I will always cheerish our memories together in Indiana and your visits to Florida to visit me.

My deepest sympathies to the Ciras , and sending prayers. I attended Marian High with Nancy, and had the wonderful joy of her as a cheerleading colleague for years during state championship football victories, pep rallies and parades. She was a true original and dear and beautiful friend. Her spirit remains wherever her friends and family go.

I'm so very sorry to learn of Nancy's passing. I was president of United Way of Central Indiana when she worked there and we so enjoyed having her. She was a good team member, highly organized, and all around good person. My deepest sympathy to her family.

I went to school with Nancy at Butler University. We were both Radio/Television department Majors. I remember her as being very outgoing and generous to everyone, always having a pleasant smile and a kind word of encouragement for each person she met.
I hadn't kept in touch over the years, but I am proud of Nancy as I read of her accomplishments. None of these achievements surprise me. Nancy was determined to succeed, and I know that she did.
I am sorry to know that she left this world too soon. But I know that God's angels have brought her back home, and Nancy is now enjoying the rewards of a faith-filled life. She is now an angel.
I have a new advocate in Heaven to whom I can pray for assistance, guidance and strength in my own life.
