Nancy & I were carefree young
professional sales representatives who had such fun together in the 70´s. We recently were remembering some of the things we did and
shared some good chuckles! I dug out some old photos & gave them to Ken. Nancy will be missed. What a gal!

I am a new WCN member, so I met Nancy only a few times, but she truly made a huge impression on me as a welcoming, friendly and adorable new friend. We last parted with her words, “We are going to be great friends; I can just feel it.” I will remember her kind heart, smiling face and warm hug. I send my condolences and prayers to all who loved her. She was greatly loved and loving, I am sure.

Dear Ken,
Nancy was an amazing woman - full of energy, bubbly, a great sense of humor and such grit. It was our great pleasure to know her. She was very kind and sincere always. We will miss her infectious smile and her quick and witty retorts. Ken, you were her rock and she knew that.
Our deepest and heartfelt condolences to you and the Nietz family.

Dear Ken, Garry and Judy,
we are absolutely heart broken for you all following the passing of your beloved Nancy. She was truly one in a million - she had a great sense of humour, was a wonderful friend to so many, was sincere and so kind. Nancy bore her illness with dignity and fortitude. Our lives have been enriched by knowing you. Rest in Peace until we meet again.

Nancy was so many things to me, she filled the holiday gap with invitations, she introduced me to WCN, she was my cinema buddy, Let´s go to lunch. She was a real touchstone. And I am going to miss her.
