I am very sorry to learn that Nancy has passed. We were close friends years ago when teaching together at West Branch Elementary. I moved away and haven't been as close. But great memories of her great teaching skills. Also that she was a great vocalist. She loved the stage. Rest in peace Nancy. I will remember you with fond memories . Karen Bowersox Gyolai
