Nancy Martin Obituary
Nancy was a 1966 graduate of Harbor Creek High School and then attended Penn State Behrend and Main Campus. She was co-owner with her husband of Tim Martin Towing and her L and N Ice Cream Stand, prior to retirement. Nancy enjoyed watching nature, plants, bugs and animals, including "pet" deer and pond fish in her yard. She also enjoyed walking and four-wheeling through the woods. Nancy kept a nature journal, tracking weather, birds, animals and plants. Nancy also loved her cats and dogs and was an avid reader.
Nancy is survived by her daughter, Laura Martin (Dan Kilbane); two sisters, Marilyn Saunders and Laurene Berringer; and several nieces and nephews and their families. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Timothy Martin; and one sister, Shirley Osborne.

Laura, I am so sorry to read about your mom's passing.

As a former classmate Nancy was intelligent and very popular at Harborcreek. We talked maybe a handful of times. It wasn't until many years later that our paths crossed when her and her husband Tim contacted me for furnace and air conditioning problems at their home and Ice Cream Store and then the camp in Grand Valley. It was always their dream to move to the camp. Sadly that opportunity never came about until Tim had passed. Nancy and I became friends as she continued to have me repair or check her furnace. She would periodically ask me and my wife to meet for dinner or breakfast as our camp was only 5 miles down the road from ours. She was proud of her skills as hunter. I had wondered how she was doing this past hunting season. Like many humans do, I procrastinated.
