Nancy J. Glantz, entered eternal peace on July 14, 2025, just three days after her 74th birthday. A visitation will be held from 3 to 6 p.m., Friday, July 25, 2025, at Cedar Memorial Park Funeral Home.
Nancy is survived by her husband of 49 years, Steven; sons, Benjamin (Carrie) Glantz and Mitchell Glantz; grandchildren, Sam and Claire; sisters, Debbie (Dean) Andes and Judy (Roger) Moffit. She was preceded in death by her parents, Benjamin and Marion Skibbe.
Her love for others was matched only by the love she received. Throughout her prolonged struggle with cancer, she demonstrated unwavering strength, outliving the doctors' prognosis by a substantial margin. We will always cherish her memory, knowing her love continues to watch over us.
Nancy worked in accounting and retail throughout her career. She raised her boys and later cherished time with her grandchildren. Dogs held a special place in Nancy's heart; they could do no wrong.
In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to the American Cancer Society.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
