Nancy attended University High School in Bloomington and was a member of the graduating Class of 1960. Nancy was a “professional mom”, loving, caring and making a home for her family. She deeply loved her family and was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Being the mother she was, she always supported her sons whether it be sports events or just day to day activities. Nancy was the consummate hostess and caregiver, planning every detail of holiday gatherings and family events and making sure everything was just right. In her leisure time, she enjoyed eating out, attending to her yard and flowers, landscaping and most of all, shopping. Being a Bloomington girl, she was an avid fan of the Indiana University Hoosiers and followed them closely.
