Nancy's unwavering faith in the saving grace offered to us by our Savior Jesus Christ, and her personal relationship with Him, was reflected in the way she lived her life and left an impression on all who knew her. Her patient, gentle, gracious and selfless nature was divinely matched with her life’s only desire to be a mother and grandma. The love she had for her husband, sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren was limitless. Nancy was truly in her element when she held or was surrounded by her little ones, which was so obvious by her radiant smile and joyful laughter. She will be remembered for her tender, giving, humble spirit and cheerful humming as she went about her day. The indescribable loss felt by those who held her most dear can only be diminished by the reassurance that we’ll one day be together again and stand in the presence of our Almighty God for all eternity.
