Publish in a newspaper
On September 20, 1969, she and Ronald Giese were united in marriage at the Durand United Methodist Church, where she was a member for many years. She became a member of Berean Baptist Church of Rockford in August 2021. Nancy was employed at Canfield Clinic of Rockford, IL; U.S. Naval Hospital of Corona, CA; and Rockford Clinic. She then became secretary and "go-fer" for her husband's business, Giese Electric. She also worked at NITE Equipment for four years. Nancy loved being with her family and was a loving and supportive friend with a ready smile and a strong faith that was encouraging to others. She enjoyed the outdoors with gardening, flowers, fishing, and bird watching. She loved her crafts, scrapbooking, and making many, many cards for family and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband; brother, Jim Schmerse; and son, Rick. She is survived by her son, Dan (Kelly) Travis, North Platte, Nebraska; 3 grandchildren (Amber, Samantha, and Eric); 7 great-grandchildren; sister, Susan (Russell) Sarver; sister-in-law, Betty Schmerse; and many nieces and nephews.
The family of Nancy would like to thank Monroe Hospice Home and the wonderful nurses and staff for their love and tender care of Nancy.
