Throughout her life, Nancy was known for her unwavering dedication to her family. Her children David, Samantha (Jordan Huck) and Grandchildren Grady and Mia, were the pride and joy of her life, and she devoted herself to nurturing and guiding them with endless patience and wisdom.
Her second love was her work. She found great purpose and pleasure in her career.
