Just now found the notice. I grew up next door to your Mom and Grandma. Loved the both of them. Moved out of Detroit in 1968.

Thanks to all of you who posted. this has been a very difficult loss, her sudden critical illness and untimely death have shocked us all. I would welcome any personal correspondence from any of you... my personal email is ksnippins@aol.com - drop me a note. Missouri kin -- I've got some cool genealogy stuff online, but you must have an invitation from me to join...drop me a note. Peace and love to all of you, your kind words and stories are comforting.

Nancy was a very special friend to me. I will truly miss her.I met her Through RVW. We shared fun times and lots of laughs. I have pictures of her when she made a trip to Tennessee. Parked in my yard and ordered Southern cooked ham and beans. I Think of her every time I make them. I offer my Condolences to her family and all of her many friends. She will always be a part of us.

Kurt and family, I'm so sorry for your lose. I loved your mom. I'll always have the great memories of our childhood. Prayers your way. Your Mo. cousin, love ya

So sorry to hear of your loss. Nancy's cat, Calamity, always tickled me with her name as well as her nature. I ended up naming my RV after her cat!

It seems so long ago and far away - before I hit the road as an RV fulltimer, I met Nancy and joined the Great Lakers RVW Chapter. I have so many great friends and outstanding memories from those times together. Nancy's leadership and pushership were key to the personality of this RVW group, which is still a favorite of mine. One memory is of my strong willed cat who refused to be on a leash and would "appear" at Nancy's site to visit "for a while." Nancy worried as much about the cat's safety as she did for all the rest of us. Then there was the day at one of our gatherings when Nancy came back from a Craft Store loaded with letters and shapes and glue and paint and directed me and a few others to turn that into a "logo" to use at our gatherings. Much ado later, with the aid of several other creative and energetic members, our magnificent new sign appeared at our big Mackinaw City event. Now that was leadership...from in front and behind... I know we will tell our Nancy stories for years of campfires ahead.

Nancy was a wonderful person! She added such joy,laughter and at times a serious tone to our congregation.She was a very giving person too. She will be missed, we loved her very much. Until we meet again! I will miss our conversations about God,life,travel,our pets,and our past jobs.

I would like to extend my sympathy to Nancy's family and friends. She was my first contact with RVW- her upbeat attitude and encouragement prodded me to join- I will always be grateful for her friendship.

I live across the street from Nancy. When I moved in Nancy encouraged me to cut the bushes down because she couldn't see the front door and she told me it wouldn't be her fault if someone broke in. Little did I know how much I would come to rely upon her steady presence on the front porch as if she were watching over the entire neighborhood. She always had an amazing story, a helpful hint and a warm smile. My nephew is 5 years old and visits often. Nancy took an interest in him and when he arrived, if she was on the porch, you could hear her calling out for him. One day she shared how he reminded her of her precious grandson, Blake. This past summer I had the pleasure of being able to pray with her and I began to know her in an even deeper way. I'm grateful for the blessing she's been in my life. My prayers are with her son and his family. She spoke of them often. I miss Nancy and I am blessed that our paths crossed.

While we had met at DPS, I knew her better through Rving Women. She loved camping with the group, and served as president for many years. Nancy was always ready to go out to eat. She loved Sinbads and the Polish restaurants in Hamtramck.

My memories are of Nancy, her mom and son Kurt coming to Missouri each summer to visit with all of our relatives here. and all my memories are good, she was always in a good mood, and very giving, although I have not seen Kurt since he was a youngster, I am praying for him and his family to continue on with their lives after this loss, Lot of Love from a distant MO> cousin.

Nancy began a friendship with me after we both went to our first Rving Women's event August of 1998 in Scottsville MI. I was traveling with my new trailer from Miami to CA via MI (my final transfer when I was in the USCG att). She wrote me a nice letter and said she'd keep me informed about the RVW get-togethers. Once I retired and returned to MI, I really got involved in 2002 when I went to the Goshen IN convention, where I found Nancy attending too. From then on our Great Lakers chapter kept busy each summer traveling to all corners on the MI map, and even OH & IN too. Mackinaw City was one of Nancy's favorite places to go, we even scouted the area for good campground to have an event. She was pretty pleased with 60 ++ RVWs who came that summer '06. Nancy also liked Frankenmuth where we went a few times, and enjoyed chicken dinners, and also had to take cover from a tornado that spring. Nancy truly enjoyed all the friendly interactions, potlucks, campfires and all the pets who came RVing too. She was the chapter president for several years and encouraged me, and all of us, to take a turn at hosting because the host picks the place. In the off season , Nancy started a lunch meeting for the winter residents enduring the snow & cold, the idea was to keep the good thoughts going until we could get out and go RVing again in the spring. Over these summers, lunch meetings and phone calls, I got to be good friends with Nancy. I enjoyed her enthusiastic personality, she was fun-loving and could take a joke. She could dish out a joke too, and that kept things fun and challenging too. I did not always agree on all topics with her, but all said & done, I had great adventures, lots of laughs, learned new things and could rely on a warm and generous friendship with Nancy. I will miss her presence in my life, and feel fortunate to have called her my friend. Thank you Nancy for including me in your life !

Nancy, was a true giver!! She was so willing to help us try to get The Lord's Soup Kitchen up and running. I am sorry that I could not get that finished. Thank you Nancy for all your faith. You will be missed!!! And i will miss all of you vacation stories and adventures you shared with us.
