Nancy had a passion for life! She was a strong, energetic woman that can be described as ânever meeting a stranger.â Nancyâs warmth was felt immediately upon meeting her, and her cherished friendships were plenty. The first person on the dance floor wearing her ever present smile, Nancyâs humor, selflessness and love will never be forgotten.
