Nancy was known in life as a loving wife and caring mother of five. She was a devout Catholic, wonderful gardener and homemaker who loved to receive guests in her home. Nancy volunteered for years at her church in the daycare center, and up until the end of her life, children continued to bring a smile to her face. The family feels very fortunate to have had such a loving and compassionate team of people surrounding and caring for her at McHarrie Place.

There will be a private memorial service held at a later date.
