Nancy worked at UPS before going into retail, working at several stores including the Mart and Stuart's in Grafton. She ended her career as Assistant Manager at Stuart's. She then worked as a Nanny several years before her own grandchildren were born.

Over the years she had many interests including knitting, baking, ceramics, cross-stitch and solving crossword puzzles. She enjoyed 1940's movies, old game shows, family get together's and genealogy. She found many new cousins during her family searches. What gave her the most joy however, was spoiling her grandchildren. She was a kind and generous person, who was all about family.

Her family would like to thank the VNA hospice team for their kindness and compassion.
