Nancy’s happiest moments were spending time with her family & friends over a meal or just a cup of coffee! She was a passionate conversationalist that evoked both tears & laughter!

After retirement, Nancy was a member of the Hamilton County Art Association where she did well competing & showing her work! Her greatest joy was just being with her grandchildren & great children! Nancy had loving church families and devoted years with her husband to further God’s Kingdom!

As a loving member of her community, Nancy never knew a stranger! Whether at the Westfield Diner, her bank, pharmacy, Goodwill or her doctor’s offices, her presence always brought a smile!
