I remember swimming in Nancy's pool and playing in her backyard as a kid.  She was always very thoughtful. I remember any time I came for Friday after Thanksgiving dinner she made a really good cheddar broccoli casserole. She knew I liked it so much that she made me one for my baby shower 🥰.

So sad to hear of Nancy’s passing. I met Nancy on the first cruise that Don and I went on. She and I hit it off right away as did Don and Bob. We talked about our nursing careers and our dogs. We laughed a lot. Especially when we saw a woman on the upper deck of the ship at night that had a white dress on that was flowing in the wind. At first we thought she looked like an angel but then we got the giggles and laughed about that for years. I’ll miss you Nancy as you’re flying high as an angel. Keep Don company on that cruise in the sky.

I met Nancy when my sister Rachel married her brother Larry when I was nine years old. We would go swimming in her big swimming pool 😁. When I had my daughter at Rockford Memorial Hospital, Nancy came in to check on me throughout  my stay. It made me feel so comfortable to have someone that knows me there. I will forever remember her as a kind soul. 🙏

Our deepest condolences to Nancy’s family and friends. Nancy was a very kind and loving lady. We met her and Bob through Free Spirit Siberian Rescue. We had many fun times together through our mutual rescue events. Nancy will be missed greatly.
Rest well sweet lady.

Although we hadn’t seen each other in some time. Nancy was a very kind and caring person. A very gentle soul, we shared the same Birthday. Nursing was a perfect profession for her. Also her love & kindness to animals was a such a big part of her personality. Heaven truly has a very loving addition. Condolences to Rob, Todd, Kelly & the extended family.

Nancy had a Heart Bigger than herself which she shared to All without reservation. We have been Lucky to be neighbors for over 25 years. In that time she has become a valued friend & will be missed. She cared for our Animals through the many years as 
she did her own.  Much Love & Hugs to Bob & family through this SAD loss.  Steve & Gaye  Sanchez

My condolences to Kelli & Family.
No words can take the feeling of your heart breaking from you, but I pray for the Lord to fill you up with his peace & love now and in the days ahead.
In thought & prayer🤍🙏🏻

Nancy was a sister too. She always teased her brother about many things but loved sharing the story that when they were both pretty young, her little brother, Larry, threw a toy truck at her but missed. Instead the truck hit the fish tank on the piano. She always told the story with a smile and gleam in her eyes which in turn brought a smile to everyone's face within listening distance. Nancy had the biggest, caring, heart of anyone I have ever known. She will be remembered and missed by those of us who loved her so very much.
