Nancy married her love, Roger Stilwell, on November 5, 1954 in Marshall, North Carolina. Together, they moved to Clio, Michigan where they stayed for 69 years. Throughout her life, Nancy attended First Baptist Church of Clio, which is now City Church. Nancy was a loving soul. She was known for always helping others when they were down and being there to support them through every activity and event. She was a mom to all and was lovingly referred to as the Neighborhood Mom. She enjoyed her position as Cookie Chairman for Girl Scouts and spending as much time as she could with her family. In her free time, she enjoyed embroidery, Jigsaw puzzles, coloring, canasta, and long rides with no destination. Nancy's generous and kind heart will be deeply missed by those she loved and cherished.
