Nancy was my godmother, she never forgot my birthday or any other holiday. She was the kindest person. I am sure was super busy raising her own children, but always made time for me. Rest in peace Godmother. XXOO Marilyn Zapp Scullin
Nancy had such a cheery pleasant personality. Nice person. I lived next door and baby sat her 3 kids. Her property had been my grandfather’s farm , my mom was born in the house. I still remember her laughter and smile. So sorry for your loss Jim. Connie Rae Cromwell Malize
