Gosh I had no idea. This absolutely breaks my heart to learn of her passing. She was so talented and such a sweet woman. I’m grateful I knew her and was blessed to have her work on me. She will definitely be missed.

Beautiful soul, blessed with  talent, kindness, love, love for God’s creations. You will be missed so much❤️
You leave a legacy of a wonderful daughter, sister, wife, mother and friend that will never be forgotten. I hope we see your art in the Heavens often.🎶🌻🙏🥰

This picture was from my niece Laura's Birthday party one year. My brother and his family came to visit from Florida around Laura's Birthday and decided to have a Cheetah themed party including a Cheetah Fondant Birthday Cake.We of course recruited Nancy to make the cake and she even showed up early and painted the kids faces before they each took swings at the pinata! Nancy really helped make that day such a special memory for my family. Our thoughts and prayers are with her entire family and send our deepest sympathy's. Nancy meant so much to so many and will stay in our hearts always.

Jason,Sienna and Stormi words cannot express how heartbroken I am for your tremendous loss. Nancy was such loving and kind person and will be so missed. I will be praying for you all  and your family. 

Love and Prayers

I first met Nancy when we worked at Convergys. When we weren’t busy she would be at her desk drawing and I can’t tell you how many times I told her, you should open your own tattoo shop! When Convergys was done I went to see her where she was a apprentice and I’m proud to say I wear ink from her from when she was just beginning, she was beyond amazing at what she done as a artist! Nancy is someone very special whom I will never forget, she had a very calming nature about her and that’s what attached me to her because I have very high anxiety, and I could be around her just a few minutes and be calm as ever!  When I heard of Nancy’s passing I just thought “A lot of color just left our world” because it did in so MANY ways. Fly high with Angels my friend until I see you again, and you watch over your babies and Jason from up above 🪽🤍🪽

I'm so sorry about the passing of Nancy... she will be missed by so many. She lived right down the road from where I lived she came to see our chickens lol. I'll muss our tattoo talks and hanging out with you and just talking. I have the whole family in my prayers. Fly high angel.

Nancy was an amazing person and artist, when I first walked into her shop I was instantly made to feel at home. Over time I got to know her as an amazing mom and friend. I will forever cherish her artwork on my leg. I know she will be greatly missed by so many, and my prayers go out to Jason and her girls.

Nancy will never be forgotten. She was my favorite tattoo artist and quickly became a friend to me. I am thankful to have known someone so caring and kind ❤️

Nancy was truly amazing as a person and as a true artist. I first met her when she was an apprentice and no one else would do the tattoo that I wanted but she said she would. It was more than I had expected and that was many years ago. Then I went back to see her when she first opened wicked eyes. I just loved being around her. She had the girls with her and they were beautiful, beautiful girls. I love seeing all the artwork that not only she created but what they created as well in the studio. The world is a sad place without her in it. She truly touched many lives and I don't even think she realized it. She will never be forgotten.

I'm so sorry for the sudden loss of such an amazing person who touched so many lives. Nancy was a kind soul that had some of the best advice and listening ears to lend me when my life was crazy at times. I have only known Nancy for around 9 yrs thru her tattoo shop. I came to her studio to get tattooed with her beautiful and amazingly talented artwork every other month for the last 6 yrs of those 9yrs like clockwork. We would just catch up on life and living and I shared her love of animals having so many of my own. I'd bring her little gifts each visit. Some for the shop or her pets  or herself and cherished that time for just being creative and chatting with her. She will be deeply missed by so many.
