For the individuals that were lucky enough to have met Nancy, know she was the most genuine, kind, loving, sweet, and caring person around. She had a heart of gold. She did anything for anyone around her; no questions asked. She always made sure no one left the dinner table or her house without a sweet treat, which usually included Whitey’s ice creams, sherbet, or Little Debbie’s. Family will miss her sweet smile, fun sense of humor, love for family get togethers, coffee, pictures, and sweet treats.
- During retirement, she enjoyed joining her husband, Tex at various musical gigs he played in visiting with dear friends she made. She spent her down time playing solitaire, keeping up with family and friends through Facebook and visiting tea rooms once a month with friends. She was an avid Hobby Lobby shopper, garage sale goer, doll collector, and loved spending time at home with their husky, Lucky. She loved celebrating the holidays and enjoyed supporting her grandkids in all of their extra-curricular activities near and far.
She led by example. There was never a job too large or too small that she would not tackle. Nancy was a strong, determined, and kind woman. We will miss her every day.
- She was preceded in death by her parents; infant brother, Dennis; a step son, Jerry Dean.
