“Nanny” as she was known by all friends and family had a wonderful sense of humor, always young at heart, and never met a stranger. She especially loved being with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Nancy had many friends; however, she was blessed to have a special group of life-long friends who have remained close since elementary school. She took joy in the simple things such as fires, reading, hot chocolate, Tiffany’s tea, Leslie’s roses, and Lisa’s supply of whimsy. Nancy was a faithful member of Calvary United Methodist Church. She also tutored refugees at the Nations Ministry Center.
Gathering of Friends and Family will be held on Saturday, November 23, 2019 from 10:00 a.m-11:30 a.m. with a Celebration of Life Service immediately following at Calvary United Methodist Church. Nanny loved vibrant colors so please feel free to dress accordingly.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Calvary United Methodist Church or Nations Ministry Center.
