I have such fond memories of Nancy. I grew up in Dallas and she and Bob were friends with my parents. She was always so kind and fun. I used to love to play at her house with Chris and Scott when I was a kid. Nancy was also talented in the kitchen. Our family loved visiting her in Vermont at her country store where she always treated us to a home cooked dinner and fresh ice cream. She was always there when we needed a helping hand. My condolences to all of her family. May she rest in peace.

Dear family of Nancy,
My heartfelt prayers and condolences. Our children at Shavertown United Methodist Church knew her as Miss Nancy. After the children“s message, she would pass out activity papers and a treat to each of the children. Always supported my music program and had a smile on her face. Fly high "Miss Nancy"!
