Nancy was born in Detroit, Michigan on July 31, 1953, the daughter of Fredrick and Marie Smith. She grew up in East Detroit, where she attended East Detroit High School, and met her high school sweetheart and love of her life, Ben Anson. They were married June 10, 1972, and continued their life together. They lived for many years raising a family in Warren, Michigan, and in 1991, decided to make the move to the country, Croswell, Michigan. It was at their home in Croswell that Nancy dedicated her time to her mutual relationship with animals, caring and tending to all that she could. In her time there she cared for horses, ducks, geese, peacocks, chickens, a donkey, and billy goats. For her 40th birthday, her husband and sons built her pasture where she could feed and tend to fallow deer, with the most she had at one time getting up to 43 deer. She will be missed deeply.
