Having Nancy for a friend since we were in first grade together, gave me such a happy life in my youth. I am so sorry she had to leave before I could see her again, yet glad that she isn't suffering any longer. My sincere and deepest sympathy for Dick, Janene and family, and prayers for her happy reunion with her beloved parents.

Nancy was our dear neighbor, until we moved 2 years ago. We just learned of her passing, my condolences to her family.
Nancy was so special to us. From our days of exchanging our apples for her tomatoes, watching her with chipper, sharing dinner together, and stories of bingo-good or bad ...how precious our times were. She loved our children as if they were her own, and my children loved her.
She loved her family...we heard so much of. God bless Nancy, our hearts will never forget her. The Bruder Family

I worked close with Nancy for almost 10 years and grew to respect and admire her unwavering work ethic and professionalism. Nancy always had a smile on her face and a good word to offer whenever I would see her. I always enjoyed working with her. She was a good friend and I will miss her smile and sweet voice.

Nancy was one of my best friends growing up. We lived on Jackson St. in Glen Park, and played together every day. In our teens, we took up tennis, and competed in the City League. I am so saddened to hear of her death, and I send Dick and his family my deepest sympathy.

So very sorry to hear of Nancy's passing. I went to school with Richard at St. Mark's and Lew Wallace. I would stop and chat with Nancy whenever I would see her at the local store and she was always so pleasant.
