Nancy’s smile and infectious laugh could brighten even the darkest days. She was always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it. She had a deep love for her friends and her family and enjoyed spending time with her husband, children, and grandchildren. She was an avid Buffalo Bills, New York Mets, Bob Seger, and Dave Matthews fan. She was well-known in Almond for her beautiful flowers and hanging plants on the front porch of her home. Although her house was destroyed by the fire, her hanging plants miraculously survived.
