Her daughters have several gorgeous handmade quilts to cherish that Nancy made over the years. She made and donated numerous lap quilts to hospitals and St. Leonard’s.

A special thank you goes to the staff at St. Leonard’s Assisted Living who loved and cared for Nancy for the past several years. Nancy kept staff busy trying to keep tabs on her since she loved to walk everywhere she could find to walk. She was known for always having on red lipstick. Thanks to the staff member who made sure Nancy had her lipstick on during her last couple of days.

Nancy’s life will be celebrated with all of the wonderful memories. There will be no services. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association, 31 W. Whipp Road, Dayton, OH 45459 or Hospice of Dayton, 324 Wilmington Ave, Dayton, OH 45420.
