She married R. Everett Pannier on June 9, 1963, at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in rural Sterling, IL, by Pastor Eldor Mueller. Nancy worked at several local businesses, including Herman Nelson, Peterson's Drug Store and the Whiteside County Clerk's Office. Nancy was devoted to her husband, Everett, and the simplest pleasures in life brought her great joy. She loved gardening, sewing quilts, a quiet evening at home or hosting her family for holiday meals. She and Everett were hometown fans of Morrison sports and loved watching their children and grandchildren participate in a variety of activities over the years. She was known for her big heart and her unselfish love of family and friends. She was always a source of positivity and touched many with her genuine unconditional kindness. Nancy found true happiness in helping others and was a loyal member of Bethesda Lutheran Church, where she was active in the WELCA Ladies Group and could regularly be found cleaning, planning activities or bringing meals to shut-ins. She is forever in our hearts and will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
