Nancy was a great friend to my Mom and our family. I will miss her smile, the mischievous smile she always seemed to have, and all the fond memories we will have of her.

Dear Dick,
What can I say that you don't already know about my friendship with Nancy.  We go back to the 70's when we worked together at Clark Construction Co.  We were all so young and had so many wonderful times.  We lived on a shoestring but it was plenty.  Nancy moved on up in her career and I moved away, but we always stayed in touch and managed to visit each other throughout the years.  She was a loyal and fearless friend.   You, her children and grandchildren were the focus of her life and she loved you with all her heart.  I am honored to have called her my friend.  May your memories sustain you.

You will be forever in our hearts!   Just last year you told me;  you had lived an amazing and fulfilled life in your travels and adventures.   That you had so many great blessings in your life with your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.   Your amazing love and friendship with the love of your life, our Uncle Dick.  How blessed we are to have had you throughout the years.  

You were much more to me than a special Aunt, you were a friend!  I will value that love and friendship all my life.  Knowing that Jesus without a doubt has his arms around you is a great comfort!

Words with Friends and 3/14 will never be the same!

Nancy hired me as a student worker in the Payroll Department for Marion County Schools in September of 1975 and there our journey together began.  She was a mentor, my second mother, my confidant and a dear, dear friend.   Nancy had the knack of making everything fun.  She was such an inspiration to me, both professionally and personally.  We worked together in Payroll for over 20 years and continued our friendship after she became the Supervisor of Risk Management.  We had many trips together, too many lunches to count and lots of good times.  There were both happy and sad tears shared along with lots of laughter.   After being part of her life for over 48 years, I will miss her more than I can say.  My heart and prayers go out to Dick and all of the family.  She will live on in our hearts and memories forever, never forgotten.  She was unforgettable.

Dear Dick, Faye, Daughters and family we are so sorry for Nancy's passing. She was one special lady. You are in our prayers for strength and peace in the days to come.
