Nancy's career in nursing spanned forty years with a number of challenging positions in New York and the great state of Alaska. The final stop involved working at the Anchorage Senior Center as a home health outreach nurse. Some of the most memorable moments of her life occurred when she and her husband Gary Schwarz embarked upon a one year hiatus from work to travel throughout North America. If you really want to get to know someone, drive 18,000 miles in a cabover camper with two dogs, from The Last Frontier to Newfoundland and back, heading north, south, east or west, following each day's whim, while stopping at every interesting spot during a full twelve months. Upon retiring in 2009, Nancyand her husband moved to northern Idaho for two years, then on to Las Vegas, Nevada for eleven more. In LasVegas she satisfied her affection for furry creatures through pets at home and, in challenging rescue efforts with numerous other committed volunteers. Nancy was preceded in death by both parents and her three brothers, Phillip, Barry and Harvey. She is survived by her sister Marianne Jones and brother-in-law Earl Jones of Menands, New York. She also leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews. Lastly, Nancy is survived by her husband who remains grateful beyond words for the woman who made their time together the best thirty-two years of his life. Thank you Honey! See you at the fountains.
