After meeting at Nationwide Insurance in Harrisburg, Nancy married Glenn James Douden in 1951, while he was serving in the United States Air Force. Nancy and Glenn raised their two daughters in Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York and North Carolina, as he advanced his career with Nationwide Insurance. Nancy was so very proud of her family and was a loving mother and grandmother (GaGa).
Nancy loved collectibles and had many lighthouses, teacups & saucers, mini houses, and Lennox figurines displayed throughout her home. When she was able to travel, Las Vegas was her preferred destination. She could sit for hours playing the slot machines. Later, when she was unable to travel, winning at Bingo would make her day! Nancy also loved being surrounded by her family.
Nancy is survived by her cherished daughters, Nancy Brawley of Cary, NC and Barbara Johnson of Raleigh, NC; grandson, Christopher Johnson (Laura) of Holly Springs, NC; and sister-in-law, Roberta Brady of Camp Hill, PA. In addition to her beloved husband of 55 years, Glenn, she was preceded in death by her parents and sisters Jean Hosan and Arlene Tighe.
The family is grateful for the attentive care that Nancy received from the dedicated individuals at Transitions LifeCare.
