Nancy & Stephen, We will miss seeing you in your black Corvette in the neighborhood and on your long walks on the Blvd.  Rest easy.  Your neighbors Lou & Cindy Grembocki 

Nancy was my best friend in Junior High and Senior as well.
We were with each other every day. Have not seen Nancy in many years. I will never forget our friendship. My children who never met Nancy when they heard the news it was like they knew her, that is because I told them all about our close friendship. It is sad that we went our separate ways.
My prayers go out to her children and I believe she had grandkids as well Will always be in my heart Nancy Your friend Nancy Morgenstern

Miss Nancy loved parties,  tea, housewives, Tobay Beach ,family and dogs. Had great taste and liked to do fun things. She’ll be greatly missed 💔

Nancy loved emceeing the Carlton Lakes Halloween dog parade. We’ll all miss her enthusiasm

My condolences to you all, Steve, Brian and Christopher.  To say the announcement of Nancy’s death was a shock is an understatement, yet it brought back a flurry of memories shared with Nancy and all of you so many years ago. 

Nancy and I met in 1983 at Jazzercise and became close friends because of it.  We were students together for a few years, then decided to become instructors at virtually the same time.  We practiced together, cheered for one another and taught in the same facilities for a long time.  Her students loved her!  We shared conventions, marathons, fundraisers, even a silly performance in heels at the mall.  We laughed, we cried, we worked through sore muscles and we shared our best and worst moments.  These are all memories that I will cherish and never forget.  

Please accept my deepest sympathies for the loss of your beloved wife and mother.  I am sad that her grandchildren will not get to spend more time with her, but knowing Nancy, I know that she gave them all the love in her heart, and that they will always remember.


Knowing Nancy for over 20 years was a truly loveable experience. We endured good times and bad times together. But through it all she was a pillar of strength. May she rest in peace with God. We will miss you forever. Love always, Maria & Peter

I met Nancy my new neighbor while walking  by my house .  In our conversation I mentioned attending jazzersize classes.  What a coincidence she owned a franchise and taught classes in Long Island. We talked for a long time and never stopped after we met.  Loved the beach and taking care of plants.  Very devoted  to her husband, sons ,daughter-laws and grandchildren.  I will miss her and take comfort knowing  she is with God in heaven.  My heartfelt sympathies go with the family.
