I loved this woman when she graduated with Rick and I in the class of "74" and when we spent a lot of time driving back and forth to nursing school with Frannie. Lots of stress but more laughter has been shared. She was such a giving joyful person. I know that she loved Dick a lot and as as seen by the foster kids, that she had a big capacity for love. Her children were well loved as well- Rick and Beth and Cathy and Jami. I'm sure heaven is a little brighter she she passed to be with the Lord.

Nancy was a loving friend and best sister-in-law to me! I wish I could re-create those times that we would laugh so hard it hurt! She taught me so much about kindness, generosity, love of family, and how to have fun anywhere. I will ALWAYS feel her love and I will be talking to her in her heavenly home often.

Nancy was our matriarch of the book club. She was always full of love and smiled all the time. We had fun over the years playing marbles and she and Richard had a special love after 69 yrs that is amazing . She was just the best
