Her family was a constant presence in her care and provided her support till her passing.

We met Nancy about five years ago when her grandson and my granddaughter came together and married. She was always the sweetest woman to me and Malinda. Nancy was very social with us. We went right to Nancy for conversation. We will miss her at future gatherings.
