She was raised with a strong belief in God, and her faith remained at the center of her life. Nancy believed deeply in the goodness and favor of God and encouraged her family and friends to trust in His grace, remain faithful, and recognize His blessings. Her faith was not simply something she spoke about, it was reflected in how she lived, loved, served, and cared for others.

Following her military service, she pursued a career in nursing, a calling that naturally aligned with her compassionate spirit and desire to help others.

She enjoyed RV’ing, bingo, game nights, pickleball, and the fellowship and laughter of Ugly Christmas Sweater Brunches - believing these moments were all opportunities to bring people together and create lasting memories.

In May 2025, Nancy began her valiant fight against cancer. Throughout the journey, she remained steadfast in her faith, continuing to trust in God’s goodness and favor while encouraging those around her to do the same. She was truly an example of strength, courage, and perseverance while displaying unwavering faith & hope in God.
