I remember baby sitting for the kids in her dance classes and watching her own two girls from time to time. She was a wonderful lady to work for. When I knew her they had three dogs that were show dogs. You will be missed by all who loved you. Jacquelyn (tepps) royter.

Nancy, Steve and their daughters were our friends and neighbors in Fox Point, Wisconsin, We spent many holidays together and were a part of the labor Zionist alliance that conducted services for our group. We enjoyed our times together especially cooling off in their backyard pool on hot summer days. Nancy, you are missed. May your memory be for a blessing. 

I had the privilege of sharing many adventures with Nancy and her family. As only children transplanted to Milwaukee as young brides and moms, we  served as each other’s support for many years.  As so often happens, life and careers moved us about the country. We were fortunate to reconnect.  She was a great lady with strong convictions and a clear understanding of “right”.  I will miss my friend.

My deepest condolences to your family. I knew Nancy via Facebook as she was an active member of my Facebook collie group these past few years and I really respected her so much. I was so saddened to hear of her passing and wanted to let you know our group will miss her very much. 

Nancy was an online friend for many years.  We shared a love of thoroughbred race horses and of course, collies.  She was a great comfort to me when my Treve passed from an illness.  I will never forget her kindness to me during that time.  My deepest sympathy to her family.  I will miss her.

I first met Nancy at Sunnybank,  many years ago.  She and Steve helped me with my first show dog,  Trevor,  when I needed a handler for the Virtues Match.  She was beyond kind and supportive.   I looked forward to seeing her at Sunnybank each August; I kept up with her on Facebook.   Rest well my friend.   May her memory be for a blessing ♡.

I had the privilege of working with Nancy in the Fall River Juvenile court for many years until her retirement. She was my colleague but she was also my friend. I learned so much about lawyering from her. We shared a deep love of animals and spent many days in the lawyer’s lounge talking about dogs. She gave me so much valuable dog and life advice. When my beloved dog, Sati, passed she was a great comfort to me. I was told once that when you pass on you are judged by how you treated animals in life. I hope that is true because if it is Nancy is guaranteed a place in heaven. She is sorely missed by her Juvenile Court family. Rest easy my friend. 

I met Nancy at my first dog show in Fitchburg, MA. My first show collie and my first show. She befriended this "newbie" and she has been supportive and encouraged me to show my own dogs. She will missed. I will think of her each time I show my collies.
Rest in peace.


I’ll miss her smile

Nancy's loss comes as a shock to me.  I met her many years ago and we remained friends.  She was a lovely human being and I will miss her.  My deepest condolences to her family.  

Love,
