Nancy's Christian faith was an important part of her life and brought her comfort and strength. She found peace in the words of the Lord's Prayer from the King James Version of the Bible:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Nancy will be remembered for her unwavering love for her family, her gentle spirit, and the warmth she brought to those around her. Her kindness, strength, and generosity touched many lives, and her memory will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Kenneth and Pauline Nagel.
