I will forever remember Nancee as my Aunt that lived upstairs at my Grandparents farm house, When we were kids she always had time to talk to us and made us feel important. Always reading, or working, or working on a craft project. I’m pretty sure that she made me a quilt as a kid, and I know she made one for my son when he was born. I remember that she took me to West-gate Mall Movie theater in her old Chevy Nova when I was young to see the Karate Kid, according to Google, that was 1984. Things I remember about that event…”if I have a son, I’d name him Daniel, she told me.” Eventually, that would happen. Daniel, has grown now and found his way in the world. He did a great job of taking care of his Mom when she needed him. I know she looks down from Heaven proudly as he is a caring, hard working individual that she raised and provided for to the very best of her ability. Rest in peace Aunt Nancee,

I feel blessed to have met and known Nancee. She was my husbands cousin, and she was always at the family get togethers. She was a very loving, kind and quiet woman, who worked hard and spoke quietly. She had a lovely smile and quiet demeanor. We were so happy to see her join her sister and her family for our Vow Renewal Last November. We Love and will truly miss you Nancee. It is good to know that your parents are there to greet you.

Ha Nanc I just think of all our fun times we had, all our nice talks and places we went . We became very close after Dad and Mom both died. Our only regret we had was that we didn"t get to Norway. You were so proud of our Norwegian heritage. We had a great time with our Norwegian cousins who came to visit . You were so proud of your picture in your Norwegian Bunad. I thought it was nice you could live with me for a month . Mow you are in heaven with Dad and Mom . I am sure you got to meet Jesus like you were hoping. Love ya ! and miss you ! Love your only sister Julee

I remember many years living across the road from Julie, Tim, and Nancy. We played together as children growing up in a great rural environment.Im glad I got to know the Herhiems. We could walk in the house anytime, drive our jalopies around the barn there. And sit down at the shop with Nancy’s dad Obert. Sorry I didn’t keep in touch! RIP Nancy!!
