After graduating from University of Arizona, Nancy joined American Airlines as a flight attendant. It was on a flight when a young businessman asked: "Is that the Grand Canyon down there?" To which she answered: "No, sir, we are not near the Grand Canyon". The pilot then announced: "If you look out your window, you will see the Grand Canyon below us". That businessman became her devoted husband Paul. Nancy is survived her siblings: Debbie, Laurie, Peaches, Raymond, and her children: Brian, Vincent (Scott), Tracy (Steve), Patrick and John. Nancy also has four wonderful grandchildren: Heather, Amber (Chris), Kevin, and Ryan, and two great grandchildren: Elijah and Oliver. Nancy's burial will be on February 18, 2020 at 10 a.m. at Mt.

The thing I miss about dear Nancy is her fantastic "sense of
humor...I flew MANY night flights with Nancy and she was a
wonderful person. I am sorry I did not keep up with her for
the last few years. She had a wonderful memory and always
recalled our fun times together....I lost track of dear Nancy as
she did not attend Kiwi meetings for the last few years...Her husband Paul was a pleasure to know and would always make
us laugh with his humor.......they were a great match!......
