Nancy as a very dear friend. I have many fond memories of ice skating at Roosevelt Park, the Quarry, and many other fun things; especially sharing our Greek heritage. She will be missed tremendously. God Bless her memory.

Nancy was a dear friend. We were so sorry to learn of her passing. We will always remember her beautiful smile and great sense of humor. She was fun loving and kind. We had so many good times together in school. In later years, Nancy was proud to tell us about her children and grandchildren. Her family was a very important part of her life. She will always be remembered. Our sincere sympathy to the family. Rest in peace, Nancy.

I was an old friend of Nancy's from Sheboygan school days. We lived close to each other and spent lots of time at Roosevelt Park--lots of meeting up with other classmates at the skating rink in early evening. She was fun. She was full of life. I became her algebra tutor. We, her high school friends, missed her at the 55th high school reunion last September. Rest in peace, dear Nancy. So many people hold you in their hearts.

Nancy was a beloved cousin and will be missed and remembered fondly. I especially remember our last trip with her to Las Vegas for dear Barbara's birthday. Bye, Nancy, you're with others now. Enjoy!

I will miss Nancy so much. I remember the year that Nancy met Barbara (Metscher), Jaynne (Metscher) Seeburger, and me Susan (Metscher) Pruitt in Las Vegas to celebrate Nancy and Barbara's birthdays. It was so much fun to have all us cousins together. Barbara and Nancy especially bonded those few days and now, since Barbara has passed also, I can see the two of them sitting in heaven continuing those long conversations they had during that trip. Nancy, I will miss you.

Our prayers and condolences to the family of Nancy Likas. We were neighbors for a few years and our daughter Jennifer and Nancy's daughter Shelley were good friends and went to nursery school together. I do remember how she loved to sing and play her guitar. So very sorry for your loss.

I was so sorry to hear about Nancy's sudden passing and I am sure this has been quite a shock to all. I am a friend from her South High School days and was lucky enough to have been able to revive our friendship by becoming texting buddies since I live in Georgia. She seemed content with her life and mentioned she had a nice Christmas.
Rest in peace, dear Nancy.
