A devoted member of the Mormon faith, Nancy's life was marked by a love for simple pleasures and rich experiences. She was an avid reader, delighting in the worlds created by countless authors.

Nancy was also a proud great aunt to nine great nieces and nephews, who brought her much joy over the years.

The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Brynwood Rehabilitation for the compassionate care and unwavering support they provided Nancy during her four years there. Their kindness and dedication were a source of comfort to her and her loved ones.
