Dear family,
Just saw this on line and am sorry I didn't see it sooner. I was ahead of your Mom at Boylan and then for years had chats at McFarland's. She was a sweet gal, always caring. I 'll keep all in my prays.

I am so sorry to hear of Nancy's passing. I worked with her at McFarland's and she was such a joy. She had an infectious laugh and we spent many days doing just that! Any time I talked to her, she always asked about my kids, and I made sure to hear how Trica and Amy were. How proud she was of her family. God bless you all - my prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Tricia,Jenaya and family,
I met your mom and grandma when I worked with her at Mid-City. She always brightened up a work day. I also had the pleasure of getting to see her at Bloom school waiting for Abby and Jenaya to get out of school. Then at volleyball games to cheer them on. Each time with Nancy was the best and we would always end up laughing and enjoying seeing each other. She took me in each time I saw her. We were blessed to have had her in our lives. We share your sadness and will keep you in our prayers and thoughts today and the days ahead.

Amy & Tricia, I was just heartbroken after my mom called me with the news of your moms sudden passing. Your mom is a prominent figure in most of my teenage memories, as she was always the "cool & understanding" mom. I bet I am not the only one who remembers her this way. She was always warm, tolerant & classy, these are timeless qualities that few people have. The world is a darker place without her. I will not be able to make the services, but will be thinking of you all this weekend. My deepest sympathy to you.

We moved in next door to Nancy about 5 years ago and couldn't have asked for a more kind caring neighbor. Nancy was like a grandma to my boys, giving them gift for certain holidays and when the 2 youngest were born. My oldest just recently mowed lawn for Nancy over the summer. My heart breaks for her family. She talked about her daughters and grandkids all of the time...she loved them was so very proud of them all! We will truly miss you Nancy!

We met Nancy when she worked for McFarlands. We made the Durand connection with her sister, Karen. She was always smiling and very helpful and we often spent a lot of time talking when we went there. As the years went on we developed a connection through the Linnabary family. We are shocked and deeply saddened by her passing. We know she LOVED her family and her world centered around them all! Our deepest condolences to daughters, Amy and Tricia, and the rest of the family. Our prayers will be with you in the days and weeks to come!

Nancy was one of those people who if you didn't see her every day-you felt like you caught up very fast when you did run into her. Her family was her life and my heart breaks for the family.
Continue her legacy of kindness and goodness and you will see her spirit in each of you and your children. All of her friends will miss her and are here for you girls and your families.
Her smile and laugh was contagious!
