The sweetest and friendliest person Ive ever known. She was a people person. I was fortunate to grow up as a neighbor and to know her children Steve and Cindy so well. She never missed a birthday or knew when you were sick or having surgery. You couldnt have a better friend than Nancy. She will definitely be missed.
