Nancy was one of my dearest friends. She was an encouraging soul to many people in the world. She had a beautiful family history of working with her family of origin in the crane business. She was so kind to talk with my husband, who is a crane operator, about cranes at length. She began coding at the very beginning of the computer era. She utilized this knowledge to help design and promote the CDiff Foundation.  Nancy developed many wonderful relationships with professionals in the healing sciences to facilitate the healing and research for patients with C Dificile. She also has become a voice for many with other needs such as infectious diseases and questions of antibiotic use and infection control.  She will live on in the hearts of many of us for eternity. Rest in Peace Dear Nancy. You are a One of a Kind Angel of God.

My heart is so sad to hear about Nancy's passing. What an amazing woman who gave so much energy to everyone and important causes around her. Sending prayers of strength, hope, and healing to her friends and family.

I just heard of Nancy's passing. We worked together many years ago and became good friends. Even though we lived miles apart we stayed in touch over the years. What a funny, loving, and caring person she was. We had many good times and I will miss talking to her. Sending love and prayers to Angelo.

I just heard of Nancy's passing. I will truly miss our hour-long chats over the phone. Nancy was truly the most selfless person I have ever met. I will miss her dearly. Rest in paradise my friend.  

Angelo and family, I just learned of Nancy passing. I am so shocked and saddened.

Nancy and I went through much of grammar, middle, and high school together in River Vale. She was always the sweetest person.

Just last year, during supply line shortages, Nancy found Pediasure for a student my daughter teaches. He is on the spectrum and it is his main protein intake. Nancy bought and shipped it never indicating that she wanted anything in return. I sent a PayPal payment because I was awestruck by her selfless act. I had not seen Nancy since 1979. Fortunately, she had memories of me growing up.

Truly an angel is in heaven.

Dear Family and Friends of Nancy: 

On behalf of the Finch Therapeutics team, I would like to send our heartfelt condolences. 
 
Every time I had the pleasure of speaking with Nancy, she spoke lovingly of her husband, family, and the many people from around the world that she had the opportunity to befriend. Even during challenging times, Nancy could be counted on to be a bright light -- always ready to share a warm laugh, always hopeful for the future, and always trying to find ways that she could help others. 
 
Nancy’s kindness and dedication to serving others will forever inspire us in our work and we will always be grateful to her for providing a powerful example of the difference that each of us can make in the world.   
 
With our deepest condolences, 
Gabriella Linville-Engler, on behalf of Finch Therapeutics 


I met Nancy through her work with the CDiff foundation.  While that work was how we were introduced, we soon became friends.  I will miss our talks.   She was so kind and thoughtful.   She was truly special.   My deepest sympathies to Angelo and her whole family.  

I met Nancy through her work with the C diff Foundation.  What a warm and caring person she was. The C diff community mourns with her family.  She has left a mark on the world and her legacy will endure 

In 2020, we contacted Nancy for advices and support during the preparation of the European Guidelines for treatment of Closdiff infection. She provided essential insights from patients perspective and significantly contributed to the final recommendations. We will greatly miss her! 


I most recently interacted with Nancy during the latest Cdiff Health Expo. I got to know her as a kind person, with limitless energy, and a genuine interest in others. It speaks for her that I received a handwritten "Thank you"-note after the Expo, even though I am located in Europe. She will be missed by the Cdiff field.

I have so many amaziing memories of us through years gone by. They will all stand out in my memory but the ones when we went to go out dancing hold a special place in my heart.  R.I.P. Nanners

Nancy was my beacon of hope in my battles with severe refractory cdiff. I would not be here today  if it wasn’t for her knowledge, understanding, kindness and love. She will forever be a hero in my heart. God bless her beautiful family.  Praying for you all. 


We had just talked with Nancy a few weeks back, loved listening to her talk with that lovely accent. Always brought memories of our get togethers with all the Aunts and Uncles, I miss that. 
Nancy was one of the most loving, caring and giving persons I have every known. Always cheerful and brought much joy to many.
She will be sadly missed but I take comfort in knowing she will be with our loved ones in Heaven.


I had the pleasure of meeting Nancy in Las Vegas when the CDiff conference was held here. I was the on-site  concierge , a friendship evolved from the meeting. I learned so much about her passion and the foundation.  I will truly miss her. Much love for you Nancy. 

I only knew Nancy because of the foundation. Her passion and dedication for the foundation and for people were profound. You could feel her caring in her voice and words. I wish for Nancy's family and friends comfort during this difficult time. 

My aunt namcy was a ver special person to our family . We had a strong bond and a close relationship . She always had a candle lit for  someone in need of prayer . My aunt and I have a lot of memories since she was my aunt at six years old we grew up together and always did a lot of things together . I am going to miss her dearly She had a great passion to help people with her foundation that she created which stemmed from a rough time with her health . I know that she will watch over our family  and shine  down on us like the candles she lit during prayers. I will Love you and miss you always  your niece Donna 💕

It's never easy to make it as a writer but that never stopped me from trying. In college, she was nice enough to give me my very first internship & from there, it snowballed. I honestly don't know if I would be where I am today if not for her. 

 I worked with Nancy since 2013 as her Nutrition Consultant for the C.Diff Foundation.  I became the Nutrition Counselor for the C.Diff support group, once a month I have been on a Radio show with  Nancy and  we wrote the book together  "Managing Meals through a C.Diff Infection."  We did the first and second edition together as co-authors.  She also took my son in as a College  intern for the C. Diff Foundation doing Fundraising Research and office work during the summer in between his Sophomore and Junior year.  She also gave him work doing the C.Diff newsletter online  and he was the Editor for the second edition of the C.Diff book "Managing Meals through a C.Diff Infection.  She was also a great friend and I and everyone will greatly  miss her.  

She was my best friend, 2nd mom, & Aunt always. Her memories will last forever in our hearts. She is going to be missed deeply. She was the light of our family. The light now shines through us. Going to be hard to live  without her. She would always tell me to move on & don't let this bring you down. Love you to the moon & back. 🙏🙏💖💔😇

Soo Many Wonderful Memories of my beautiful Aunt  I can go on and on there's just so many of them. These wonderful memories I will cherish all the days of my life.💔

She was my aunt and she will be deeply missed I can't believe she's gone she was such a wonderful woman beautiful inside and out always had a kind word to say about everyone she would give you her last dollar she loved her family. She put all her hard work into her foundation which meant the world to her. She was an incredible woman I admire her and she will never be forgotten. When she left she took a piece of my heart with her. Rest in peace Aunt Nancy until we meet again . 💔

Nancy was a special  second cousin.   Our grandmothers were sisters.
 Over the years we shared memories, laughs and tears.  We were all so proud of Nancy's accomplishment in founding the charity and supported her efforts.  Nancy and Angelo  were an extraordinary couple  who shared their love with  others .    Our hearts ache for Angelo..     We know that Nancy will be among  the Saints.   May she  find  peace  in God's  loving Presence.

I had the honor to grow up with Nancy in Rivervale, NJ. We quickly got to know the entire family. Later on in life, Nancy and I crossed paths as I was doing a healthy mindset social media live broadcast. Nancy immediately saw the value in similar broadcasts for her ever-growing Cdiff community through her weekly Cdiff Radio program. We enjoyed our time together on radio broadcasts and I always looked forward to a quick "good morning" message or an inspiring phone call. Thank you for inviting me into your mission and your heart Nancy. You are one of my heroes. God bless your love. Kevin

Nancy was a true angel on earth with the biggest heart and kind words ! I was blessed to have had her gentle  loving soul in my life ! My prayers go out to Angelo and all of Nancy’s family   , may your wonderful memories of Nancy help comfort you during this difficult time !
