We knew Ms Fertig because of her love for animals. She was such a caring pet "parent" as well as being a smart and fun person aside from her pups. We are glad we had the opportunity to know her and we will miss her.

We knew Nancy when she was at Our Lady of Lourdes as a Lector and EM. She always showed genuine concern for anyone with a problem and will be remembered as a kind person having a quiet & gentle manner.

Nancy was always kind and loved to laugh. Great Lady and missed greatly by all who knew her. She's been called home and is walking with Him.

Nancy was always so loving! We shared a love of our dogs. When she was searching for a new pet we helped her find her dear Ellie!
