Nancy had so many friends and always made you laugh; she loved to tell stories. She never missed a holiday or event to send a greeting card and keep in touch. She put a smile on your face and joy in your heart. She was quite the "funny lady." After 52 years in her home in Whittier she moved to San Luis Obispo to be with her daughters and family. Nancy lived at the Villages where, once again, she made friends with everyone. She managed the Bridge Group and was an official Greeter and always put her hand out to welcome everyone new! She was so loved and will be greatly missed. She is survived by her four children: Sharon Wells and her husband Jon, Paula Etzel, Susie Crotts and Todd Stewart; as well as a wealth of 'grands': 10 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. Her love will live on in all of us. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your local children's library. Sign her guestbook at sanluisobispo.com/obituaries
