Nancy had an enormous heart. She was a loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt and niece. She was a simple type person with a complex personality. She loved things like crocheting, painting, home arts, Mexican food, organic gardening and playing slot machines. She was big into astrology, numerology, family tree research and believed heavily in aliens. Yes, aliens, according to her they have been on earth forever. She was licensed as a minister, was an Air Force brat, a leader for a scout troop, loved travel and camping but she hated red cars from an accident she had in London. She would talk your head off to hide her fears and to share her strong political beliefs. Her absolute favorite time of year was during Christmas, so much that she started shopping around Labor Day! She also loved classical music and was a pretty darn good dancer. She never missed sending cards to loved ones for birthdays and special occasions and she doted on her children and grandchildren. Her favorite movies were the Ten Commandments, Ben Hur, King of Kings, Close Encounters, Wizard of Oz, Wonderful Life and A Christmas story. Her favorite TV shows were Little House On the Prairie, Touched by an Angel, Mash, AndyGriffith and Highway to Heaven and now she’s on her highway to heaven. Nancy will be dearly missed.
