She was an active member of Chi Omega sorority, Kansas City Young Matrons, and Village Presbyterian Church, and volunteered for a number of organizations over the years.

Nancy was preceded in death by her husband, Larry Culbertson, her brother, Van (Bill) Waite, and her parents, Ruth and Henry Van Dyke Waite.
Nancy was an unabashed animal lover, and when she wasn't loving on her own, she went out of her way to meet and greet the dogs and cats in her neighborhood. She enjoyed life and spent her retired years working in and around her home, which was her pride and joy, being with friends, her children, grandchildren, and volunteering at the Village Church Food Pantry.
She leaves behind her daughter, Carrie Lynn Culbertson Arrocha (Michael), son, Gregory James Culbertson (Erin), three grandchildren, as well her beloved cat, Skipper.
