Nancy was a wonderful mother and she was always there for her children. Nancy always kept busy and after her children were older Nancy had several local jobs. She was well known for her years of service as a crossing guard on the corner of Green Village & Woodland Road in Madison, crossing the children of Torey J Elementary School. She also dedicated years of service delivering newspapers in the early morning hours in Madison and surrounding towns.

Nancy was delighted to become a Nana and her grandchildren meant the world to her. She also had a special place in her heart for animals, especially the numerous family dogs and cats she cared for over the years. She spoiled her pets and they all had a good, loving home with Nancy.

Nancy had many dear friends, many of which she had for her entire life. She was a devoted friend and would do anything for anyone in need, and she was always thoughtful. Nancy enjoyed taking trips to Atlantic City and she loved scratch off tickets.

Nancy will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
