My husband and I met Nancy when she came to join us as a Shaklee distributor.

What a joy to have known her. Each time she knocked on our door I knew I would see a radiant smile and get a "Nancy hug". I knew we would catch up on family news.  I knew we would have a great conversation.

Thank you for friendship, Nancy.  Rest in peace.  

Anne Thomas, Grosse Pointe, Michigan

Nancy and I met when we were 12 years old; two of the youngest people in our 7th grade class at Chippewa J. H. S. We became fast friends and dance partners in room #6 and we enjoyed dancing together and listening to music and just talking for the last 53 years. Nancy taught me so much and I will miss her dearly. Neither of us were Geminis but we were like twins. If either of us were ill or sad or just having a hard time, the other would sense it and call...it was at times really eerie. And, I have lived in California since 1971. We always signed off the same way and Nance, for the last time...LOVE AND LIGHT,YOUR FRIEND FOREVER. Jerry

Nancy is now dancing with angel wings. My deep sympathy to her family.

Nancy was the rock to many of us we attempted to navigate our early years in school. She always had a smile and a hug to friends and those who wanted to be friends. She will be missed until we meet her again in Heaven.

My heart goes out to all of you. Nancy is at the center of all of the best memories I have of high school. Through the years, she was unfailing in her friendship and loyalty.  Her gentle strength will forever stay with me. I will miss you Nancy.

We were so saddened by the news and have been following her journey til the end. I have fond memories of Nancy with Judy & I shadowing our sisters growing up and the laughs we shared about that. She was a beautiful person inside and out, and she will surely be missed, but we know she will be living in the hearts of those she touched.

The news that Nancy had succumbed to her illness after an apparent brave battle, saddened the hearts & spirit of anyone who was blessed to have known her. In the many years since high school, I enjoyed only a few opportunities to reconnect with her. There were always hugs, laughter & in the last meeting, we talked of her plans to move to up north & pursue new dreams. God welcomes home one of his best. My condolences to all of her loved ones.

Many memories,lots of good times...and then there was you. Au Revoir Nancy. Paul

Nancy introduced me to yoga, she was my instructor for 15+ years.  She helped me reduce the stress in my life while I was caretaker to my father and my father-in-law, and helped me to help them.  But mostly she was my friend, and I will definitely miss her.  Namaste, Nancy, you will be missed.  Diane Wachter

Nancy was a very unique, beautiful and delightfully positive lady that I will never forget for she was a ray of sunshine in this world . Her many gifts and insight touched our lives by bringing harmony and love with her laughter and endless joy in life. Nancy's devotion and service to her family and untiring devotion to her mother was a testimony of unconditional service and love. I will miss her. Namaste my dear friend I will miss you.

Nancy will be missed by so many people because she was such a sweet and caring person. We shared so many good memories throughout the years and I will always remember what a good and loving friend she was to me. I will miss you Nancy and you will never be forgotten. Becky Bracali

Few people know this but the Kelly family and my family lived across the street from each other back in the 1950's. Sometime in that period we were all out playing. Nancy was riding in a wagon when she managed to fall out,injuring her arm. My older brother scooped her up and carried her to her house. Fast forward to about the mid seventies I got to know Paul and Judy. One night at the Alibi Inn I got into a conversation with Judy only to find out that she was of the Kelly family that lived across the street. Sometime later I met Nancy and talked about the incident and she said that my brother Ronald was her hero. From my brother Ronald and my sister Lynda and I we send our deepest condolences. You will be missed. Bruce.

There are no words to describe the sadness. Nancy was a 2nd mother to me. There are so many cherished memories I will forever hold! Nancy always brought light to my life-she had a powerful influence on how I saw (and still see) the world. I miss her already! But I know we have another Angel to watch over us now. Chelli, Kelly, and family-I love you, forever!

Nancy will always have a piece of my heart. She will be missed by many and loved by all that knew her.
Lenny Schebil

Nancy was beautiful in every way that word can be measured. Talking to Nancy always made the world seem a better place. She was a gentle, caring soul.  
Rest well, my friend.

Thoughts and prayers are with the family. Nancy touched the hearts of many people. She was a wonderful person always willing to help others in need. R.I.P. Nancy.

Nancy will certainly never be forgotten. Her concern for everyone & 
for always trying to keep in touch with all her classmates & close friends will also always be remembered. We really thought that she would beat this, especially for her children & grandchildren, whom she loved so much..Our deepest sympathy to her family. John & Connie Cortez

Kelly,Chelli, Tyler, and Family-So sorry to hear of the loss of your mother/grandmother. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. JoAnne Denison

Nancy was a wonderful high school classmate who had a smile which radiated her beauty.  I'm so glad that I was able to see her again at our class reunions.  My condolences to her family.

I am blessed having Nancy in my life for 57 years. We were neighbors, classmates, friends and sister Jobies. Our dads were also best of friends. I enjoyed working golf outings and going to concerts with her, taking our moms to dinner, gabbing & laughing on the phone, and especially helping her create the Class of '66 Memorial and working on reunions.  During her illness she was forever hopeful and her spirit always bright - a true inspiration. She will be missed more than words can say.  To her daughters and their families, I wish you peace.  The last things I heard her say was "I love you".  Nancy, I love you right back.

My your love be there to guide us ,may it always keep us strong , may we walk within your footsteps as we journey ever on , Ever on number one fan !  Her name was Mogil and she called herself Lil but everyone knew her as  Nancy !

Nancy maybe gone but her light will shine in our hearts and memories forever.

Nancy was so inspirational in my life; I got to know her as my yoga instructor.  She was a beautiful person inside and out.  My deepest sympathy to the family.  Namaste, Nancy!

Nancy was my yoga instructor for many years. She was beautiful inside and out and will be missed by many.

Hard to believe Nancy is no longer with us.  Nancy was a brief high school sweet heart.  We all had great memories of brief high school sweet hearts.  Nancy was always an out going, fun loving person.  I remember being part of the "float" committee's with her in high school, and hanging out with Nancy and the rest of the gang at a small pizza place next to the fire station on Harper very close to Lakeview.  I also remember going with Nancy and her sister Judy to a John Davidson concert with the opening act being, at that time, a relatively unknown comedy team - Rowan and Martin.  I remember Nancy coming up to Eastern Michigan and visiting Jerry Martin and me.  Jerry and I were roommates for one year at EMU.  Nancy was a great friend, a very giving person, and she will be missed!  Nancy and her family are in my prayers.

I went to school with Nancy and remember her lovely, radiant smile and terrific personality. She brought out the best in everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her. Rest in Peace my friend.

My sister-in-law stated it perfectly "death cannot put out a light as brilliant as hers" You will be missed so much but you will always everyone's heart that you have touched.  Om Shanti my friend.

Worked with Nancy and enjoyed many concerts in the park during warm summer evenings. She was a free spirit who always saw the best in others. My condolences to her entire family, may your memories of her smile and laughter bring you peace in the days ahead.

I was blessed to have Nancy as my yoga instructor for several years until we moved. Her smile radiated love and kindness. It was an honor to have known her.  My sincere condolences to Nancy's family.

So many memories of being neighbors, watching your children grow and then you watching my children grow. You will be missed!! My thoughts and prayers are with your two beautiful girls and all your family.

No kinder soul or purposeful friend with wings wide enough for us all...she was a lovely lady and changed our world and we are better for it.

The galaxies will brighten with her glow and like everything she touches will never be the same.  

Camilla (Course) Liddell & Michael Liddell
