Nancy had a lifelong passion for dogs. She was an avid participant in dog shows and lure coursing events and was a dedicated dog breeder. She also owned a business where she created custom embroidered dog collars, leashes, and other pet accessories, combining her creativity with her love of animals. Her compassion extended beyond dogs, as she also volunteered as a foster home for the Parrot Outreach Society, opening both her home and heart to animals in need.
Outside of her love for animals, Nancy was a professional duckpin bowler, a sport she greatly enjoyed.
Nancy was preceded in death by her beloved mother, father, and one sister. She is lovingly remembered by her devoted husband of 57 years; her daughter; her two grandsons; her two brothers and two sisters and their families; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and their families; as well as her aunt and uncle. Her family and friends will forever remember her generous spirit, her dedication to the animals she loved, and the joy she brought to those around her.
