My sister had a hard life but was always looked forward to a better future and a good connection with her family. She was a strong woman who suffered a lot but her memories will always be remembered for her compassionate and fun times we all will cherish. Miss you sister.... Jim Johnson

Nancy was a good friend back in our teen years. Unfortunately we lost touch after graduation. I smile when I remember some of the stunts we all pulled. Liberty Pole Hill comes to mind. RIP my old friend.

Nancy, I remember the first time we met you. You and Tommy came over to our house in Verona. We preceded to drink a few too many vodka tonics and had the best time with lots of laughter. We enjoyed all the times we were together and having you, Linsay and Jaime in our lives. The last time we saw you was at Jaime's funeral; he was a wonderful, kind young man - you did well. He and Chelsey were friends. The one regret we have is we didn't get a chance to catch up this summer - like we talked about. We know you are in a good place. Please know that you are missed and will be remembered. Loving thoughts, Kim, Peg & Chelsey.

Nancy always had the best smile. She loved her family, her friends, and absolutely loved her dog. We’d share pictures, talk about our dog’s favorite treats and toys and she would just light up. When Mike would pick her up from work, the three of us would talk about how things were going but mostly about how much we loved our dogs. Nancy just radiated beauty and I loved to see what jewelry she was wearing each day. I will miss her. Jen Jarrett
