Their trips to these exotic and fabulous locations gifted the two of them with many great friendships.

Nancy had a lifelong love of antiques, this was evident in the home she shared with Joe in Rogers. Any who visited them would be given the grand tour from Nancy. She could tell you where these lovely items were discovered along with their value and all their history. It was remarkable the passion she had for antiques. Nancy was also quite the hostess. She loved to entertain at her home. Any who ever had the pleasure of staying in her home knew the extreme level of her hospitality. She was very passionate about sending cards and notes and her Christmas card list was absolutely huge. Her family and friends will always remember her love for adventure, her craftiness and all around spunk. A great time was sure to be had in Nancy's company. She will be missed by so many!
