Nancy was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, daughter, sister and aunt. She was also a loyal friend to many.
Nancy was one of the kindest, loving, no-frills, tell-it-like-it-is person and loved everyone she knew. She was simple and was the happiest while spending time with her grandchildren. Nancy was a dedicated worker to all her employers throughout her years.
She loved spending time on the beach and loved having a fishing pole in her hand. She enjoyed spending time with friends and lending a helping hand. Her family was her everything and she loved them deeply. She was an angel collector on earth and now she is our angel in Heaven.
There will be a graveside service at Northam Cemetery, Wednesday, March 19, 2025 at noon. The family will receive family and friends immediately following the service at the gravesite.
