I worked with Nancy at Atascadero State Hospital on Program VII. She was always the Rock of Gilbralter. I also got to know her better thru the car club and shows. She will be missed. My condolences Dan.

It was my honor to know Nancy. She was a ball of energy! Very loving and always so caring and helpful. She helped make my first weeks and months in town livable! She loved and was loved by all. She will be deeply missed.

My Dad, George Highland worked with Nancy for years at the hospital. She was absolutely his favorite nurse there. And she became my favorite too once I started working for him. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Nancy is one of the sweetest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and amongst, if not the, first to welcome me and my parents when we moved to Atascadero. I am grateful to have known her and I know my parents were more than grateful of her continued support while I was deployed in Iraq. She is a kind and caring soul and will be deeply missed.

I met Nancy when she worked at Atascadero General Hospital with my mother. Later, after I became a nurse myself, we worked together at Atascadero State Hospital and attended church together. Nancy was always a ball of fire, full of energy and bustling about making sure the patients got the care they needed. She was definitely a tribute to the profession. Sleep well, you deserve it.

Nancy was a wonderful mentor and a fantastic nurse. She taught me so much when we worked together at Atascadero State Hospital. She had a heart of gold, and was a great friend.
