Nancy and I were friends from junior year at Mishawaka High School. We even worked together at Dodge Mfg. for a while. She later worked for my brother-in-law Marv Borr at the Toyota dealership.
She and Sharon Kelly and I would go to the Indiana Cafe of Friday nights and Shula's in Niles, MI dancing on Sundays. We met girls from Ft. Wayne and the six of us went to Clearwater, MI weekends and Houghton Lake, MI on vacation. We stayed in touch all through our lives.
I asked Nancy to be my maid-of-honor. She, my husband Irv and I traveled together to the Indy 500 and Las Vegas on vacations. She and I went to Hawaii for ten days in 1970 or 71.
I stayed in touch at Christmas and when she came home from FL to visit her niece Lori. We met in Fl for drinks when I was there. She is missed with her smile, big laugh and generous nature. She was a good friend and person. She is missed

I was saddened to learn of Nancy's death. Sharon (Kelley) Winans (my sister) had brought her to our home in Illinois several times and we so enjoyed her company.

Please accept my sympathies on your loss. I knew Nancy in the early 60s. We had a lot of fun together (Bev, Sharon, Joanne) going to Lake Michigan and the Dunes. She made us laugh. God Bless.

How much fun Nancy, Bev and I (Sharon Kelley) had together. Nancy and I would walk down to the little neighborhood pub and we had so many laughs there. How sad we ended up so far from each other and we always thought we would have these reunions with the Fort Wayne girls and us at a meeting place in the Midwest. How soon everything slips away.
