Nancy was an equestrian champion as a teenager and later became a successful realtor with Century 21 Superstars. She was also a lover of animals, Orange County beaches, discovering new recipes, and game nights full of laughter. Most of all, Nancy was an eternal optimist and fighter that defied the odds.

I loved her so much. She was the best mom, wife and friend anyone could ask for. Her wonderful kids are testament to that. Thankfully nothing can take my wonderful laughter-filled memories away.
