After retirement for a few years she worked at JC Penney and enjoyed all her customers. Nancy also enjoyed many travels with her husband, spending time with family and friends, especially the TLC group. Along with loving to read and grow flowers, she loved all God's creatures, especially cats. She loved life and never knew a stranger!
