Nancy worked for many years as a nurse serving in San Francisco, California, Springfield, Ohio and finally at Sycamore Hospital in Dayton, where she was a member of the original nursing staff that opened the hospital. Her years of nursing and her caring nature earned her the lifelong moniker of ‘Nurse Nancy’. She was known and loved for her quick smile that was usually accompanied by her quick wit. She enjoyed being a farm girl through gardening (including a mini corn field), decorating creative cakes and loving many cats, dogs and other pets over the years. Nancy was also a longtime and dedicated member of St. Henry’s parish.
