Nancy lived a life motivated by her love for her family and all the children who were born hers or became hers through that love. She always had a smile, a listening ear, and a word of advice to offer. She touched the lives of so many children with her work as a Sunday school teacher and daycare provider. Her final years were spent cherishing her treasured grandchildren, Mikayla and Joshua who were the light of her life, with daily visits and a never-ending stream of love, gifts, and sweet stuff. Her kindness shone through to the end as she was credited as being everyone's favorite patient during her illness. Her values, wisdom, and love will continue to influence those who were lucky enough to be loved by her.
