My condolences to all her family and friends. What can I say. Our neighbor for decades and the best neighbors too . Too many good times to try and squeeze in to a small space. A simple but vivid memory that always puts a smile on my face is Nancy calling my mom´s name from the driveway or porch. ROSIE. U IN THERE. ? I gotta tell ya something. U r gonna crack up. Then she would look at me , playing on the driveway and say NINI. Go get Rosie. It´s the two of them laughing at god knows what funny story. That´s a memory that feels like yesterday. Nancys sweet ways and her laughter , the parties and the way she said my mom´s name. That´s the memories I´ll cherish of her. God speed Nancy. Love NINI. XO

Mrs Gillespie (Nancy) as we called her later in life had the most unique laugh and her sense of humor was so witty! My love to all the Gillespie family especially my brother-in-law, Billy and friend, JoAnn. We all grew up together and loved Nancy and Bill.
