One of Nancy’s greatest pleasures was her work in the Sterile Processing department of Aultman Hospital, where she spoke so highly of her coworkers and took great pride in her job. She made many lifelong friendships including dear friends Cheryl Lee and Phyllis Schwinn. Another joy in life was baking, she made hoards of cookies at Christmas time and had become well known for her prized Christmas cookie gifts to friends and family. She was an avid reader and loved writing letters. Recently her residence was at Pickaway Manor Care Facility, where Nancy was loved and cared for by their staff. Special thanks to her nurses Tressa Barrows and Krystal Johnson at Pickaway Manor and hospice nurse Jeannette Branham. Her family thanks you for your compassion.
A private family service will be held at a later date.
