On September 11, 1964, Nancy married the love of her life, Donald Recksiedler. Together, they built a life grounded in mutual respect, love, and a shared commitment to community and family.
Outside of her professional life, Nancy found joy in simple pleasures. She loved sewing and knitting, had a deep affection for animals, and cherished spending time in nature.
She is survived by her beloved sisters, Rosemarie Curtis and Joyce Peters, as well as many nieces and nephews who will remember her warmth, wisdom, and gentle spirit.
Nancy will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
