Nancy was the most reverent, faithful and family oriented person I've known. She was a great baker and loved to entertain. I'll cherish her as a CRHP (Christ Renews His Parish) sister, studier of the Bible and participant on many committees at St. Mary. Nancy was so proud of her kids and grandkids and loved George so much. I admired her steadfast faith and enjoyed her stories as we rode together to St. Mary. God bless the family at this sad time. Nancy is now in the loving arms of the Lord.
Sincerest condolences to George, Ken, Toni, Chris, my dear friend Peg and the family and friends of Nancy. She was a wonderful woman who deeply loved her family. I pray that the many happy memories and thoughts you have of her will stay forever present in your hearts and minds. She will continue to be a part of your lives through your words and actions. Hopefully, knowing that one day you will see each other again, will make each passing day easier to bear without her. God Bless Her.
