Nancy was born in Royal Oak, Michigan to (Ambrose) Orville Osantowski and Melvina Evelyn McCollum . Her interests included baking, bowling, crocheting, and card games including canasta and euchre. She was a fan of and loved to cheer on the Detroit Tigers and Nascar driver Jeff Gordon. She celebrated 61 years of marriage with Stan in May 2019. The pair enjoyed getaways for camping and to see Michigan lighthouses. Nancy was proud of the boys she raised with Stan and loved to spend time with them. Later in life, she enjoyed bingo, solving word search puzzles, walking at the mall with Stan for senior exercise classes through an MSU program, and celebrating holidays (especially Christmas) and birthdays with family. Sadly, Stan passed in March of 2020.
