Nancy was a dream and such an added joy to our pledge class--I am shocked she is gone-- lived in the next room when we were seniors in the theta section and I can still hear her cheerful laugh and propped up on her bed with a pillow pouring into one of the subjects--always stable and so loyal to Kappa alpha Theta! Would adore to know why the lord took her so young

Dear Bob, Bobby and Brady,
I was saddened to learn that Mrs. Kinsel has passed. She was such a lovely woman. I always admired how she seemed so ladylike and "together" in how she presented herself to the community. She was always kind to me. It does not seem fair to lose her so soon. I wish you all peace and love during this time.

Our deepest condolences to you all. I've known Nancy for so many years growing up in Pleasanton & through the First United Methodist Church, as well as other social groups we were in. Such a beautiful, loving, gracious lady who loved her family above all else. She gave so much of herself in all that she did, and one that will be greatly missed in the community.
